C U When U Get There - Bill & Humberto's Orchestra Mix

Now I've seen places and faces

And things you ain't never thought about thinking

If you ain't peeped, then you must be drinking and smoking

Pretending that you're loc'ing, but you're broken

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 that it was funny

But who's the dummy? 'Cause, now you done lost the hustler

A down-ass brother done been replaced by a buster

And though I got love for ya, I know I can't trust ya

'Cause my crew is rolling homers and your crew is rolling dusters

And just because of that you act like you don't like the brother no more

I guess that's just the way it goes

I ain't trying to preach, I believe I can reach

But your mind ain't prepared, I'll 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

I'll see you when you get there

If you ever get there

See you when you get there

More temptation than faith, I guess we livin' for the day

I seen a man get swept off his feet by a boy with an AK

The situation's so twisted, everybody gettin' lifted

I'm just tryin' to take care of my kids and handle my business

'Cause it's 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 'cause we got a later start

But I'd be a fool to surrender when I know I can be a contender

If everybody's a sinner, then everybody can be a winner

No matter your rag color, deep down we all brothers

And regardless of the times, somebody up there still love us

I'ma scuffle and struggle until I'm breathless and weak

I done strived my whole life to make it to the mountain peak

Always keep reachin', sure to grab on to something

I'll be there when you get there, waitin' with the sounds bumpin'

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

Ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah

You need to loosen up and live a little

And if you got kids, let 'em know how you feel

And for your own sake, give a little

Oh, you don't wanna hear that, too busy tryna stack

And keep up with the Joneses taking advantage of your own

The realist homies that you been knowin' for the longest

But some ain't missing a good thing until it's gone

Could have built an empire if not for the jealousy that divides us

We prefer to keep our eyes shut to what's right

When it's something involved that we desire

So hold your head up high if you're poor and righteous

I know time seems strife and problems seem endless

But in times of despair, we gotta pull ourselves together

And if you feel you're out the game, then you need to get back in it

'Cause 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

I'll see you when you get there (ah)

If you ever get there (ah)

See you when you get there (ah)

I'll see you when you get there (ah, ah)

If you ever get there (ah)

See you when you get there (ah)

As we walk down the road of our destiny

And the time comes to choose, which shall it be

The wide and crooked or the straight and narrow?

We got one voice to give and one life to live

Stand up for something or lay down in the game

Listen to the song that we sing

It's up to you to make your peace

I guess I'll see you when you see me

I'll see you (ah) when you get there (ah)

If you wanna get there (ah)

I'll (I'll) see (see) you (you) when you get there (when you get there)

If you wanna get there (if you get there)

I'll (I'll) see (see) you (you) when you get there (when you get there)

If you wanna get there (if you get there)

I'll (I'll) see (see) you (you) when you get there (when you get there)

If you wanna get there (if you get there)

I'll (I'll) see (see) you (you) when you get there (when you get there)

If you wanna get there (if you get there)
