Coolio... Pachabel... Whirling Dervish... I'll see you when you get there.

Coolios landmark Pachabel influenced number to swirling dervishes from the film Baraka.
Lyrics:
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 you, I know I can't trust you
'cause my crew is rolling' numbers and your crew is rolling 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 trying to preach, I believe I can reach
But your mind ain't prepared, I 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 then faith
I guess we're living' for today
I seen a man get swept off his feet by a boy with an AK
the situation so twisted everybody getting lifted
I'm just trying 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 sitting
When they come and do all the getting
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 later start, but I'd be a fool to surrender
When I know I can be a contender
if everybody's ascending then everybody could be
a winner, no matter your rag colour deep down we all brothers
and regardless of the time somebody else still love us
I'll suffer and struggle until I'm 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 your with the sound bumping

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
your busy trying to stack
and keep them from the Jones's is taking advantage of your own
the realist homies got you but you've known them 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
we prepare 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 the time seems right
The problems seem endless
in the time of despair we gotta put ourselves together
and if you feel you're out of 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

As we walk down the road of our destiny
and the time comes to choose what shall it be
The wide and the crooked or the straight and narrow
We've got one voice to give and one life to live
stand up for something or lye 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.

Please change the music, let it be the original.

You ruin it.

[docludi2]

@ehsankarimy You seem to have missed the point. See you when you get there.

[Miakesri]

@docludi2 I also didn't get it =S the lyrics are also not really fitting to the dervish motive ... if this is a parody.. it's also not really effective because nobody understands... maybe

[docludi2]

@Miakesri Thank you for your thoughtful comment. Both you and ehsankarimy are correct of course. From a dogma based perspective there is no connection present, or intended. I think Nasreddin would have considered it a very loose fit garment, simply not worth getting in a spin about. See you when you get there.
