Now I've seen places and faces 
 And things you ain't never thought about thinking 
 If you ain't peek then you must be drinking and smokin' 
 Pretending not to lockin' but you're brokin' 
 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 it was funny but who's the dummy 
 Now you done lost the hustler 
 A down-ass brother got replaced by a buster 
 And though I got love for ya, I know I can't trust you 
 Coz my crew is rollin' numbers and your crew is rollin' duchess   
 And just because of that you act you don't like a brother 
 No more, uh, I guess that's just the way it goes 
 I ain't tryina preach, I believe I can reach 
 But your mind ain't prepared, I see you when you get there   
 1-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 then faith 
 I guess we livin' for  today 
 I seen a man get swept off his feet by a bullet with an AK 
 the situation so twisted everybody gettin lifted 
 I'm just tryin to take care of my kids 
 And handle my business coz it 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 horse 
 Someone's gotta run a little faster 
 Coz we gotta lay the course I'd be a fool to surrender 
 When I know I can be a contender 
 if everybody's a sinner then everybody could be 
 A winner, no matter you rag color deep down we all brothers 
 and regardless of the time somebody else still love us 
 I'm a scuff and strugle y'all breathless and weak 
 I just strived my whole life to make it to the mountain peak 
 always keep reaching sure to grab on to something 
 I'll be there when you get there when you wit the sound bumpin' 
 (repeat 1, 1)   
 Verse 3: PS (40 Thevz) 
 You need to loosen up and live a little 
 and if they got kids let them know how you feel 
 and for your own sake give a little 
 oh, you don't want to hear that 
 you busy tryina stack 
 and keep them from the Jones's is taking advantage of your own 
 the realist homies got you but you known them longest 
 but some ain't missing a good thing until it's gone 
 could have built an empire if not for the jelousy that divides 
 we prefare to keep our eyes shut to whats right when 
 it's something wrong and we desire 
 so hold your head up high if your poor and righteous 
 until time seems right 
 the problems seem endless 
 in the time of despair we gotta put ourselves together 
 and if you feel you're obligated then you need to get back in it 
 coz 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 and drive and stride by my side 
 (rpt 1, 1)   
 As we walk down the road of our destiny 
 and the times when there was a the 
 we got one push to give and one life to live 
 stand up for something or lie down in your game 
 listen to the song that we sing 
 it's up to you to make it big 
 I guess I'll see you when you see me 
 (rpt 1, 1...)
