Now I've seen places and
faces and things you ain't
never thought about
thinking if you aint peekin
you must be drinkin
And smokin
Pretending not to lookin
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 homie heard
about it
Thought that
it was funny
But who's the dummy
now you done
lost the hustler
A down-a** 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done been replaced
by a buster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 c u when u get there
I'll c u when u get there
If you ever get there
C u when u get there
I'll c u when u get there
If you ever get there
C u when u get there
More temptation than
faith I guess we living for
today I seen a man get
swept off his feet by a
boy with an AK
The situation so twisted
everybody getting lifted
I'm just trying to take
care of my kids and
handle my business
Cause it way too serious
you gotta pay close
attention so you don't get
caught sittin when they
come do all the gettin
Life is a big game you
gotta play it with a big
heart some of us gotta
run a little faster cause
we gotta lay the struggle
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
colour deep down
we all brothers
Regardless of
the time 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 reaching
sure to grab
on to somethin
I'll be there when
you get there with
muted sounds bumpin
I'll c u when u get there
If you ever get there
C u when u get there
I'll c u when u get there
If you ever get there
C u when u get there
You need to loosen
up and live a little
And if you got kids
let them know
how you feeling
For your own
sake give a little
Oh yeah
You know don't want to
hear that you busy
tryina stack and keep
up with the Joneses takin
advantage of your own
The realest homies
that you've been
knowing 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 and describe
When it's something
wrong we desire
So hold your head up
high if you're poor and
righteous until
it seems right
The problems seem
endless but at 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 wrap up
your pity
and turn it to
ambition
And put your
vehicle in Drive and
stop by my side
