Verse 1: Coolio
    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  a down ass brother been replaced by a buster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
  cause my crew is rollin' Hummers and your crew is rollin' 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 see you 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 than 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
  cause it's way too serious so you gotta pay close attention
  so you don't get caught slippin' 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 later 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 ba a winner
  no matter you rag color deep down we all brothers
  and regardless of the time somebody up there still love us
  I'm gonna scuffle and struggle until I'm breathless and weak
  I just strived my whole life to make it to the mountain peak
  always keep reachin' be sure to grab hold of something
  I'll be there when you get there when you wit the sounds bumpin'
    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 3: PS (of 40 Thevz)
    You need to loosen up
  and live a little
  and if you got kids let them know how you feel
  and for your own sake give a little
  oh, you don't want to hear that
  you busy tryin' to stack
  and keep up with the Jones' taking advantage of your own
  the realest homies that you've been knowin' 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 strife
  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
  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 in drive and stop by my side
    Chorus:
    (Coolio)
  As we walk down the road of our destiny
  and the time comes to choose which it gonna be
  the wide and crooked, or the straight and narrow
  we got one voice 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 be
  I guess I'll see you when you see me
  (chorus fade out)
