C U When U Get There (Bill & Humberto's Orchestra Mix) - Coolio

[00:23.13]Now I've seen places and faces
[00:24.74]And things you ain't never thought about thinkin'
[00:26.79]If you ain't peeped then you must be drinkin' and smokin'
[00:29.40]Pretending that you're loc'in but you're broken, let me get you open
[00:33.30]Now little Timmy got his diploma and little Jimmy got life
[00:35.45]And Tamikra around the corner just took her first hit off the pipe
[00:38.37]The other homie shot the other homie and ran off with his money
[00:41.21]And when the other homies heard about it they thought that it was funny
[00:43.71]But who's the dummy, cause, now you done lost the hustler
[00:46.36]A down-ass brother done been replaced by a buster
[00:48.96]And though I got love for ya, I know I can't trust ya
[00:51.71]Cause my crew is rollin' homers and your crew is rollin' dusters
[00:54.42]And just because of that you act like you don't like the brother no more
[00:57.07]
[00:58.21]Uh, I guess that's just the way it goes
[00:59.55]I ain't tryin' to preach, I believe I can reach
[01:02.65]But your mind ain't prepared, I'll see you when you get there
[01:05.61]I'll see you when you get there
[01:10.40]If you ever get there
[01:12.85]See you when you get there
[01:15.24]I'll see you when you get there
[01:20.31]If you ever get there
[01:23.05]See you when you get there
[01:26.50]
[01:26.71]More temptation than faith, I guess we livin' for the day
[01:29.12]I seen a man get swept off his feet, by a boy with an AK
[01:32.07]The situation so twisted everybody gettin' lifted
[01:34.38]I'm just tryin' to take care of my kids and handle my business
[01:37.08]Cause it way too serious so you gotta pay close attention
[01:39.92]So you don't get caught sittin' when they come and do all the gettin'
[01:42.47]Life is a big game so you gotta play it with a big heart
[01:45.03]Some of us gotta run a little faster cause we gotta lay the struggle
[01:47.73]I'd be a fool to surrender when I know I can be a contender
[01:50.33]If everybody's a sinner then everybody can be a winner
[01:52.98]No matter your rag color, deep down we all brothers
[01:55.87]And regardless of the time, somebody up there still love us
[01:58.72]I'm a scuffle and struggle until I'm breathless and weak
[02:00.99]I done strived my whole life to make it to the mountain peak
[02:03.74]Always keep reaching sure to grab on to something
[02:06.44]I'll be there when you get there with muted sounds bumpin'
[02:09.67]
[02:09.88]I'll see you when you get there
[02:14.47]If you ever get there
[02:16.92]See you when you get there
[02:20.17]I'll see you when you get there
[02:24.83]If you ever get there
[02:27.34]See you when you get there
[02:30.63]
[02:41.45]You need to loosen up and live a little
[02:43.46]And if you got kids let them know how you feelin'
[02:45.60]For your own sake give a little
[02:47.51]Oh, you don't want to hear that, you busy tryin' stack
[02:50.40]And keep up with the Joneses, takin' advantage of your own
[02:52.30]The realest homies that you've been knowing for the longest
[02:53.95]But some ain't missing a good thing until it's gone
[02:56.50]Could have built an empire if not for the jealousy that divides us
[02:59.31]We prefer to keep our eyes shut till it's right
[03:01.36]When there's something involved that we desire
[03:02.91]So hold your head up high if you're poor and righteous
[03:05.76]I know times seem strife, and problems seem endless
[03:07.90]But at the times of despair we gotta put ourselves together
[03:10.40]And if you feel you're out of the game then you need to get back in it
[03:13.01]Cause nothing worse than a quitter
[03:15.05]You gotta face responsibility one day, my brother
[03:18.10]So wrap up your pity and turn it to ambition
[03:20.37]And put your vehicle in 'drive' and stop by my side
[03:23.36]
[03:24.27]I'll see you when you get there
[03:31.89]If you ever get there
[03:34.86]I'll see you when you get there
[03:42.47]If you ever get there
[03:45.66]I'll see you when you get there...
