Now I've seen places and faces
  and things you ain't never thought about thinkin'
  if you ain't peeped then you must be drinkin' 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 tamika round the corner just took her first hit off the pipe
  the other homie shot the other homie and ran off with his 20
  and when the other homies heard about it they thought that it was funny
  but who's the dummy, cause you just lost a hustler
  a down ass brother been replaced by a buster
  and though I got love for you, I know I can't trust you
    my crew is rolling hummers and your crew is rolling dusters
  and just because of that you act like you don't like a brother no more
  I guess that's just the way it go
  I ain't tryin'to preach, I believe I can reach
  but your mind ain't prepared
  I'll c u when u get there
  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
  more temptation than faith
  I guess we're 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
  cause it's way to serious, so you gotta pay close attention
  so you don't get caught slipin' when they come and do all the gettin'
  life is a big game, so you gotta play it with a big heart
  some of us gotta run a little faster, cause we gotta lay the start
  but 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 color deep down we all brothers
  an regardless of the time somebody up there stil love us
  I' gonna scuffle and struggle until I'm breathless and weak
  I just strived my whole life to make to the mountain peakalways keep reaching be sure to grab hold of something
  I'll be there when you get there when you wit the sounds bumpin'
  I'LL SEE YOU WHEN YOU GET THERE
  IF YOU EVER GET THERE
  SEE YOU WHEN YOU GET THERE
  SEE YOU WHEN YOU GET THERE
  IF YOU EVER GET THERE
  SEE YOU WHEN YOU GET THERE
  you need to loose up
  and live a little
  and if you got kids let them know how you feel
  and for your own sake give a littleoh, you don't wanna hear that
  you busy tryin' to stack
  and keep up with the Jones' taking advance of your own
  the realest homies that you've been knowin'for the lomgest
  but some ain't missing a good thing until
  it's gone
  could have build an empire if not for the jeaulousy that devides us
  we prefer to keep our eyes shut to describe whenit' something wrong and we desireso hold your head up high if you're poor and righteous
  and you fell you're out the game then you need to get back in it
  cause nothing worse than a quitter
  I know time seems strife
  and the problems seem endless
  but at times of despair we gotta pull ourselves together
  you gotta face responsibility one day, my brotherso gather up your pity and turn in to ambition
  and put your vehicle in drive and stop by my side
  AS WE WALK DOWN THE ROAD OF OUR DESTINY
  AND THE TIMES COME TO CHOOSE WHICH IT GONNA BE
  THE WIDE AND CROOKED, OR THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW
  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 WE SING
  IT'S UP TO YOU TO MAKE IT BIG
  I GUESS I'LL SEE YOU WHEN YOU SEE ME
