|
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...)
