Verse 1:

A augmentedA
Now I've seen places and faces
    B minorBm
and things you ain't never thought about thinking
    G+G
if you ain't peek then you must be drinking and smokin'
 G+G
pretending not to locin' but you're brokin'
        A augmentedA
let me get you open
    D MajorD
now little Timmy got his diploma and
    A augmentedA
little Jimmy got life
    F# minorF#m
and Tamika around the corner just took her first hit off the pipe
    D MajorD
the other homie shot the other homie and ran off with his money
    A augmentedA
and when the other homies heard about it they thought that it was funny
D MajorD
 but who's the dummy
 A augmentedA
Cuz, now you done lost the hustler
  F# minorF#m
a down-ass brother can never by replaced by a buster
  G+G
and though I got love for ya
  D MajorD
I know I can't trust ya
   A augmentedA
coz my crew is rollin' Hummers and your crew is rollin' dustas
A augmentedA
 and just because of that you act like you don't like the brother no more
F# minorF#m
 I guess that's just the way it goes
   G+G
I ain't tryina preach
  D MajorD
I believe I can reach
   G+G
but your mind ain't prepared
  A augmentedA
I'll see you when you get there

Chorus:

F# minorF#m
I'll see you when you get there
      D MajorD
if you ever get there
         A augmentedA
see you when you get there
F# minorF#m
I'll see you when you get there

if you ever get there

see you when you get there


Verse 2:

D MajorD
More temptation and faith
      A augmentedA
I guess we livin' for the day
     F# minorF#m
I seen a man get swept off his feet by a boy with an AK
     D MajorD
the situation so twisted everybody gettin lifted
     A augmentedA
I'm just tryin to take care of my kids and handle my business
A augmentedA
coz it way too serious so you gotta pay close attention
    F# minorF#m
so you don't get caught sittin' when they come and do all the gettin'
 D MajorD
life is a big game so you gotta play it with a big heart
    A augmentedA
someone's gotta run a little faster cuz we gotta later start
A augmentedA
I'd be a fool to surrender when I know I can be a contender
   F# minorF#m
and if everybody's a sinner then everybody could ba a winner
 D MajorD
no matter you rag collar deep down we all brothers
 A augmentedA
and regardless of the times somebody up there still love us
A augmentedA
I'm a scuffle and struggle till I'm breathless and weak
  F# minorF#m
I just strived my whole life to make it to the mountain peak
 D MajorD
always keep reaching sure to grab on to something
  A augmentedA
I'll be there when you get there when you wit the sound bumpin'


Chorus:

F# minorF#m
I'll see you when you get there
      D MajorD
if you ever get there
         A augmentedA
see you when you get there
F# minorF#m
I'll see you when you get there
      D MajorD
if you ever get there
         A augmentedA
see you when you get there


Verse 3:

D MajorD
You need to loosen up
      A augmentedA
and live a little
     B minorBm
and if you got kids let them know how you feelin'
 F# minorF#m
for your own sake give a little
G+G
oh, you don't want to hear that
D MajorD
you busy tryina stack
A augmentedA
and keep up with the Jones's taking advantage of your own
    A augmentedA
the realest homies that you've been knowing for the longest
   F# minorF#m
but some ain't missing a good thing until it's gone
        D MajorD
could have built an empire if not for the jealousy that divides us
         G+G
we prefer to keep our eyes shut to whats right when
        A augmentedA
theres something of all that we desire
A augmentedA
so hold your head up high if your poor and righteous
 B minorBm
I know time seems right
    F# minorF#m
and the problems seem endless
    D MajorD
but at times of despair we gotta pull ourselves together
        A augmentedA
and if you feel you're out the game then you need to get back in it
  D MajorD
coz nothing worse than a quitter
  F# minorF#m
you gotta face responsibility one day, my brother
       D MajorD
so gather up your pitty and turn it to ambition
             A augmentedA
and put your vehicle and drive and stop by my side


Chorus:

F# minorF#m
I'll see you when you get there
      D MajorD
if you ever get there
         A augmentedA
see you when you get there
F# minorF#m
I'll see you when you get there
      D MajorD
if you ever get there
         A augmentedA
see you when you get there


Rap Bridge:
(Played by the String-Family of the Orchestra)

A augmentedA
As we walk down the road of our destiny
 F# minorF#m
and the time comes to choose what shall it be
  D MajorD
the wide and crooked, or the straight and narrow
  A augmentedA
we got one voice to give and one life to live
A augmentedA
 stand up for something or lie down in your game
F# minorF#m
listen to the song that we sing
D MajorD
 it's up to you to make it big
A augmentedA
I guess I'll see you when you see me


Chorus: (x2 and Fade Out)

F# minorF#m
I'll see you when you get there
      D MajorD
if you ever get there
         A augmentedA
see you when you get there
F# minorF#m
I'll see you when you get there
      D MajorD
if you ever get there
         A augmentedA
see you when you get there
