Verse 1:
D A
Now I've seen places and faces
Bm
and things you ain't never thought about thinking
F#m G
if you ain't peek then you must be drinking and smokin'
D G
pretending not to locin' but you're brokin'
A
let me get you open
D
now little Timmy got his diploma and
A
little Jimmy got life
Bm F#m
and Tamika around the corner just took her first hit off the pipe
G D
the other homie shot the other homie and ran off with his money
G A
and when the other homies heard about it they thought that it was funny
D
but who's the dummy
A
Cuz, now you done lost the hustler
Bm F#m
a down-ass brother can never by replaced by a buster
G
and though I got love for ya
D
I know I can't trust ya
G A
coz my crew is rollin' Hummers and your crew is rollin' dustas
D A
and just because of that you act like you don't like the brother no more
Bm F#m
I guess that's just the way it goes
G
I ain't tryina preach
D
I believe I can reach
G
but your mind ain't prepared
A
I'll see you when you get there

[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/c/coolio/252256.html ]
D
More temptation and faith
A
I guess we livin' for the day
Bm F#m
I seen a man get swept off his feet by a boy with an AK
G D
the situation so twisted everybody gettin lifted
G A
I'm just tryin to take care of my kids and handle my business
D A
coz it way too serious so you gotta pay close attention
Bm F#m
so you don't get caught sittin' when they come and do all the gettin'
G D
life is a big game so you gotta play it with a big heart
G A
someone's gotta run a little faster cuz we gotta later start
D A
I'd be a fool to surrender when I know I can be a contender
Bm F#m
and if everybody's a sinner then everybody could ba a winner
G D
no matter you rag collar deep down we all brothers
G A
and regardless of the times somebody up there still love us
D A
I'm a scuffle and struggle till I'm breathless and weak
Bm F#m
I just strived my whole life to make it to the mountain peak
G D
always keep reaching sure to grab on to something
G A
I'll be there when you get there when you wit the sound bumpin'

D A Bm F#m
I'll see you when you get there

Verse 3:
D
You need to loosen up
A
and live a little
Bm
and if you got kids let them know how you feelin'
F#m
for your own sake give a little
G
oh, you don't want to hear that
D
you busy tryina stack
G A
and keep up with the Jones's taking advantage of your own
D A
the realest homies that you've been knowing for the longest
Bm F#m
but some ain't missing a good thing until it's gone
G D
could have built an empire if not for the jealousy that divides us
G
we prefer to keep our eyes shut to whats right when
A
theres something of all that we desire
D A
so hold your head up high if your poor and righteous
Bm
I know time seems right
F#m
and the problems seem endless
G D
but at times of despair we gotta pull ourselves together
G A
and if you feel you're out the game then you need to get back in it
D
coz nothing worse than a quitter
A Bm F#m
you gotta face responsibility one day, my brother
G D
so gather up your pitty and turn it to ambition
G A
and put your vehicle and drive and stop by my side
Chorus:
D A Bm F#m
I'll see you when you get there
G D
if you ever get there
G A
see you when you get there
D A Bm F#m
I'll see you when you get there
G D
if you ever get there
G A
see you when you get there
Rap Bridge:
(Played by the String-Family of the Orchestra)
D A
As we walk down the road of our destiny
Bm F#m
and the time comes to choose what shall it be
G D
the wide and crooked, or the straight and narrow
G A
we got one voice to give and one life to live
D A
stand up for something or lie down in your game
Bm F#m
listen to the song that we sing
G D
it's up to you to make it big
G A
I guess I'll see you when you see me
Chorus: (x2 and Fade Out)
D A Bm F#m
I'll see you when you get there
G D
if you ever get there
G A
see you when you get there
D A Bm F#m
I'll see you when you get there
G D
if you ever get there
G A
see you when you get there
Thanks! Have Fun!!
