If you ever get there
'Coz my crew is rollin' hummers and your crew is rollin' dustas
I ain't tryina preach I believe I can reach
But at times of despair we gotta pull ourselves together
I'm a scuffle and struggle till I'm breathless and weak
The realest homies that you've been knowing for the longest
But who's the dummy 'cuz, now you done lost the hustler
And when the other homies heard about it they thought that it was funny
So you don't get caught sittin' when they come and do all the gettin'
If you ever get there
If you ever get there
I'll C U when U get there
Now little Timmy got his diploma and little Jimmy got life
You need to loosen up and live a little and if you got kids
But some ain't missing a good thing until it's gone
Always keep reaching sure to grab on to something
Pretending not to locin' but you're brokin', let me get you open
Life is a big game so you gotta play it with a big heart
I'll C U when U get there
If you ever get there
C U when U get there
The situation so twisted everybody gettin' lifted
Stand up for something or lie down in your game
And though I got love for ya I know I can't trust ya
I'm just tryin' to take care of my kids and handle my business
If you ain't peek then you must be drinking and smokin'
And Tamika around the corner just took her first hit off the pipe
A down-ass brother can never by replaced by a buster
If you ever get there
As we walk down the road of our destiny
But your mind ain't prepared I'll C U when you get there
Could have built an empire if not for the jealousy that divides us
C U when U get there
I guess that's just the way it goes
No matter you rag collar deep down we all brothers
If you ever get there
I guess I'll see you when you see me
If everybody's a sinner then everybody could be a winner
I'll C U when U get there
The wide and crooked, or the straight and narrow
So hold your head up high if your poor and righteous
Let them know how you feelin' for your own sake give a little
I'll C U when U get there
Listen to the song that we sing
And put your vehicle and drive and stop by my side
C U when U get there
Theres something of all that we desire
We got one push to give and one life to live
And just because of that you act like you don't like the brother no more
C U when U get there
I'll C U when U get there
So gather up your pity and turn it to ambition
I know time seems right and the problems seem endless
I'll C U when U get there
You gotta face responsibility one day, my brother
'Coz nothing worse than a quitter
I'll C U when U get there
If you ever get there
I'll C U when U get there
Oh, you don't want to hear that you busy tryina stack
It's up to you to make it big
More temptation and faith I guess we livin' for the day
And if you fell you're out the game then you need to get back in it
I'll C U when U get there
And regardless of the times somebody up there still love us
If you ever get there
C U when U get there
I'll C U when U get there
We prefer to keep our eyes shut to whats right when
I'd be a fool to surrender when I know I can be a contender
I seen a man get swept off his feet by a boy with an AK
Someone's gotta run a little faster 'cuz we gotta later start
If you ever get there
I just strived my whole life to make it to the mountain peak
C U when U get there
'Coz it way too serious so you gotta pay close attention
I'll be there when you get there when you wit the sound bumpin'
And keep up with the Jones's taking advantage of your own
The other homie shot the other homie and ran off with his money
And the time comes to choose which shall it be
