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 lockin' 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 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 buster
And though I got love for ya, I know I can't
trust you
Coz my crew is rollin' home and your crew is
rollin' dusta
And just because of that you act you don't like
the brother
No more, uh, 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 see you when you
get there
1-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 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
Coz we gotta lay the strugle 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 else still
love us
I'm a scuff and strugle 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'
(repeat 1, 1)
Verse 3: PS (40 Thevz)
You need to loosen up and live a little
and if they 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 realist homies got you but you known them
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 prefare 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
until time seems right
the problems seem endless
put the time to this fairly we gotta put
ourselves together
and if you feel you're obligated 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 pity and turn it to ambition
and put your vehicle and drive and stop by my
side
(repeat 1, 1)
As we walk down the road of our destiny
and the times when there was a the
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
(repeat 1, 1...)
