Coolio – Can O Corn lyrics

Now I've seen places and faces
and things you ain't never thought about thinkin'
if you ain't peeped then you must be drinkin' and smokin'
pretending not to loc' in but you're broken
let me get you open
now little timmy got his diploma and little jimmy got life
and tamika round the corner just took her first hit off the pipe
the other homie shot the other homie and ran off with his 20
and when the other homies heard about it they thought that it was funny
but who's the dummy, cause you just lost a hustler
a down ass brother been replaced by a buster
and though I got love for you, I know I can't trust you

my crew is rolling hummers and your crew is rolling dusters
and just because of that you act like you don't like a brother no more
I guess that's just the way it go
I ain't tryin'to preach, I believe I can reach
but your mind ain't prepared
I'll c u when u 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're livin' for the day
I seen a man get swept off his feet by a boy with an ak
the situation so twisted everybody gettin' lifted
I'm just tryin' to take care of my kids and handle my business
cause it's way to serious, so you gotta pay close attention
so you don't get caught slipin' 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 gotta lay the start
but I'd be a fool to surrender when I know I can be a contender
and if everybody's a sinner then everybody could be a winner
no matter you rag color deep down we all brothers
an regardless of the time somebody up there stil love us
I' gonna scuffle and struggle until I'm breathless and weak
I just strived my whole life to make to the mountain peakalways keep reaching be sure to grab hold of something
I'll be there when you get there when you wit the sounds bumpin'
I'LL SEE YOU WHEN YOU GET THERE
IF YOU EVER GET THERE
SEE YOU WHEN YOU GET THERE
SEE YOU WHEN YOU GET THERE
IF YOU EVER GET THERE
SEE YOU WHEN YOU GET THERE
you need to loose up
and live a little
and if you got kids let them know how you feel
and for your own sake give a littleoh, you don't wanna hear that
you busy tryin' to stack
and keep up with the Jones' taking advance of your own
the realest homies that you've been knowin'for the lomgest
but some ain't missing a good thing until
it's gone
could have build an empire if not for the jeaulousy that devides us
we prefer to keep our eyes shut to describe whenit' something wrong and we desireso hold your head up high if you're poor and righteous
and you fell you're out the game then you need to get back in it
cause nothing worse than a quitter
I know time seems strife
and the problems seem endless
but at times of despair we gotta pull ourselves together
you gotta face responsibility one day, my brotherso gather up your pity and turn in to ambition
and put your vehicle in drive and stop by my side
AS WE WALK DOWN THE ROAD OF OUR DESTINY
AND THE TIMES COME TO CHOOSE WHICH IT GONNA BE
THE WIDE AND CROOKED, OR THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW
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 WE SING
IT'S UP TO YOU TO MAKE IT BIG
I GUESS I'LL SEE YOU WHEN YOU SEE ME
