C U When U Get There (Ren Swan's Mix)

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 that you＇re lokin＇ but you＇re brokin＇

Let me get you open now

Little Timmy got his diploma

And little Jimmy got life

And Tamikra ＇round the corner

Just took her first hit off the pipe

The other homey shot the other homey

And ran away with his money

And when the other homies heard about it

They thought it was funny

But who＇s the dummy

Now you done lost the hustler

A down-ass brother got replaced by a busta

And though I got love for ya

I know I can＇t trust you

＇Cuz my crew is rollin＇ home and your crew is rollin＇ dusta

And just because of that you act you don＇t like a brother no more

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

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 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

＇Cuz it＇s 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 contender

Then everybody could be 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 gonna scuff and struggle y＇all

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＇

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

You need to loosen up

And live a little

And if ya 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＇ to stack

And keep up with the Jones＇s is taking advantage of your own

The realist homeys 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 jelousy that you righteous

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

The problems seem endless

Put the time to this fairly we gotta put ourselves together

And if you feel you＇re out the game

Then you need to get back in it

＇Cuz nothing worse than a quitter

You gotta face responsibility

One day, my brother

So gather up your pity and turn it to ambition

And put your vehicle and drive and stop by my side

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

As we walk down the road of our destiny

And the time comes to choose, what shall it be?

The wide and crooked or straight ＇n 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 that we sing

It＇s up to you to make it big

I guess I＇ll see you

When you see me

I＇ll see you when you get there

If you ever get there

If you wanna get there

I＇ll see you when you get there

If you ever get there

If you wanna get there
