C U when U Get There Lyrics

Verse 1: Coolio 

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 locin' but you're brokin' 

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 wasfunny 

but who's the dummy 

Cuz, 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 

coz my crew is rollin' Hummers and your crew is rollin' dustas 

and just because of that you act like you don't like the brother no more 

I guess that's just the way it goes 

I ain't tryina preach 

I believe I can reach 

but your mind ain't prepared 

I'll C U when you get there 

Chorus: 

I'll see you when you get there 

if 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 2: Lek Ratt (of 40 Thevz) 

More temptation and faith 

I guess we livin' for the day 

I seen a man get swept off his feet by a boy with an AK 

the situation so twisted everybody gettin lifted 

I'm just tryin to take care of my kids and handle my business 

coz 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 cuz we gotta lay the struggle 

I'd be a fool to surrender when I know I can be a contender 

and if everybody's a sinner then everybody could ba a winner 

no matter you rag collar deep down we all brothers 

and regardless of the time somebody up 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' 

Chorus: 

I'll see you when you get there 

see you when you get there 

if you ever get there 

if you ever get there 

see you when you get there 

I'll see you when you get there 

see you when you get there 

if you ever get there 

if you ever get there 

see you when you get there 

Verse 3: PS (of 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 tryina 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 times of despair we gotta pull ourselves together 

and if you fell you're out the game then you need to get back in it 

coz 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 

Chorus: 

I'll see you when you get there 

see you when you get there 

if you ever get there 

when you ever get there 

if you ever get there 

see you when you get there 

I'll see you when you get there 

see you when you get there 

if you ever get there 

if you ever get there 

see you when you get there 

(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)
