Songtexte C U When U Get There (feat. 40 Thevz) [Bill & Humberto's Orchestra Mix] - Coolio

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A down-ass brother done been replaced by a buster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)
