'Cause it way too serious, so you gotta pay close attention
And if you feel you're out of the game
If you ever get there
If you ever get there
Listen to the song that we sing
Stand up for something or lie down in your game
The situation so twisted, everybody getting lifted
C u when u get there
C u when u get there
I'll c u when u get there
C u when u get there
I'll c u when u get there
But your mind ain't prepared, I'll c u when u get there
The wide and crooked or the straight and narrow
I guess, I'll c u when u see me
C u when u get there
I'd be a fool to surrender when I know I can be a contender
I done strived my whole life to make it to the mountain peak
I know times seem strife and problems seem endless
If you ever get there
Life is a big game, so you gotta play it with a big heart
I'll c u when u get there
Always keep reaching sure to grab on to something
C u when u get there
C u when u get there
And though I got love for ya, I know I can't trust ya
If you ever get there
I'll c u when u get there
I'll c u when u get there
I'll c u when u get there
The realest homies that you've been knowing for the longest
No matter your rag color, deep down, we all brothers
C u when u get there
I'll c u when u get there
Let me get you open
I'll c u when u get there
When they come and do all the getting
When there's something involved that we desire
So you don't get caught sitting
If you ever get there
A down-ass brother done been replaced by a buster
But some ain't missing a good thing until it's gone
You gotta face responsibility one day, my brother
And Tamikra around the corner
And regardless of the time, somebody up there still love us
If you ain't peeped then you must be drinking and smoking
And keep up with the Joneses, taking advantage of your own
Oh, you don't want to hear that, you busy tryina stack
I'll c u when u get there
I seen a man get swept off his feet by a boy with an AK
And when the other homies heard about it
I'll be there when you get there with muted sounds bumping
If you ever get there
You need to loosen up and live a little
If everybody's a sinner then everybody can be a winner
They thought that it was funny
C u when u get there
And put your vehicle in 'Drive' and stop by my side
We got one voice to give and one life to live
But who's the dummy? 'Cause, now you done lost the hustler
C u when u get there
For your own sake give a little
It's up to you to make it big
And the time comes to choose which shall it be
'Cause we gotta lay the struggle
The other homie shot the other homie and ran off with his money
So hold your head up high if you're poor and righteous
But at the times of despair we gotta put ourselves together
C u when u get there
Now little Timmy got his diploma and little Jimmy got life
I'll c u when u get there
If you ever get there
I guess that's just the way it goes
We prefer to keep our eyes shut 'til it's right
If you ever get there
If you ever get there
Then you need to get back in it
'Cause my crew is rolling homers
I'ma scuffle and struggle until I'm breathless and weak
And just because of that
C u when u get there
And your crew is rolling dusters
If you ever get there
More temptation than faith, I guess we living for the day
C u when u get there
As we walk down the road of our destiny
And if you got kids, let them know how you feeling
If you ever get there
You act like you don't like the brother no more
Pretending that you're loc'ing but you're broken
Could have built an empire if not for the jealousy that divides us
Some of us gotta run a little faster
'Cause nothing worse than a quitter
Just took her first hit off the pipe
I'm just trying to take care of my kids and handle my business
If you ever get there
I'll c u when u get there
I'll c u when u get there
So wrap up your pity and turn it to ambition
I ain't trying to preach, I believe I can reach
