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 off 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' numbers and your crew is rollin' duchess
|
|
And just because of that you act you don't like a 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 then faith
|
I guess we livin' for today
|
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 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 heart
|
Some of us gotta run a little faster
|
Coz we gotta later start, but I'd be a fool to surrender
|
When I know I can be a contender
|
if everybody's ascending then everybody could be
|
A winner, no matter you rag color deep down we all brothers
|
and regardless of the time somebody else still love us
|
I'm a suffer and struggle until i'm 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 feel
|
and 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 divides
|
we prefare to keep our eyes shut to whats right 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
|
in the time of despair we gotta put ourselves together
|
and if you feel you're out the game 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 in drive and stop by my side
|
(rpt 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
|
(rpt 1, 1...)
