| Now I’ve seen places and faces
|
| And things you ain’t never thought about thinking
|
| If you ain’t peek then you must be drinking and smokin
|
| Pretending not to loc’in but you’re broken, let me get you open
|
| Now little Timmy got his diploma and little Jimmy got life
|
| And Tamikra around the corner just took her first hit off the pipe
|
| The other homie shot the other homie and ran off with his money
|
| And when the other homies heard about it they thought that it was funny
|
| But who’s the dummy, cause, now you done lost the hustler
|
| A down-ass brother got replaced by a buster
|
| And though I got love for ya, I know I can’t trust ya Cause my crew is rollin home and your crew is rollin dusta
|
| And just because of that you act like you don’t like the brother no more
|
| Uh, I guess that’s just the way it goes
|
| I ain’t tryin to preach, I believe I can reach
|
| But your mind ain’t prepared, I’ll see you when you get there
|
| I’ll see you when you get there
|
| When you ever get there
|
| See you when you get there
|
| I’ll see you when you get there
|
| If you ever get there
|
| See you when you get there
|
| Verse Two: Lek Ratt (40 Thevz)
|
| More temptation and faith, I guess we livin for the day
|
| I seen a man get swept off his feet, by a bullet and an AK
|
| The situation so twisted everybody gettin lifted
|
| I’m just tryin to take care of my kids and handle my business
|
| Cause it way too serious so you gotta pay close attention
|
| So you don’t get caught sittin’when they come and do all the gettin
|
| Life is a big game so you gotta play it with a big horse
|
| Someone’s gotta run a little faster cause we gotta lay the strugle
|
| I’d be a fool to surrender when I know I can be a contender
|
| And if everybody’s a sinner then everybody could be a winner
|
| No matter you rag collar deep down we all brothers
|
| And regardless of the time somebody out there still love us
|
| I’m a scuff and struggle and y’all I’m breathless and weak
|
| I just strived my whole life to make it to the mountain peak
|
| Always keep reaching sure to grab on to something
|
| I’ll be there when you get there when you wit the sound bumpin
|
| Verse Three: PS (40 Thevz)
|
| You need to loosen up and live a little
|
| And if you got kids let them know how you feelin
|
| For your own sake give a little
|
| Oh, you don’t want to hear that, you busy tryin a stack
|
| and keep them from the Jones’s is taking advantage of your own
|
| The realest homies that you’ve been knowing for the longest
|
| But some ain’t missing a good thing until it’s gone
|
| Could have built an empire if not for the jealousy that divides us We prefer to keep our eyes shut to describe when
|
| It’s something wrong and we desire
|
| so hold your head up high if your poor and righteous
|
| I know time seems right, and the problems seem endless
|
| But at the times of despair we gotta put ourselves together
|
| And if you feel you’re out of the game then you need to get back in it Cause nothing worse than a quitter
|
| you gotta face responsibility one day, my brother
|
| so gather up your pitty and turn it to ambition
|
| and put your vehicle and drive and stop by my side
|
| Outro: Coolio
|
| As we walk down the road of our destiny
|
| And the time comes to choose which it gonna be The wide and crooked, on a straight barrel
|
| We got one push to give and one life to live
|
| Stand up for something or lie down in your game
|
| Listen to the song that we sing
|
| It’s up to you to make it big
|
| I guess I’ll see you when you see me Chorus -- fade out |
