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