| All in together now*
|
| Things go better now
|
| All in together
|
| Things go better
|
| I started slangin’tapes way back in '99
|
| Founded Weightless, Greenhouse was on our grind
|
| Then MhZ was comin’up at the same time
|
| No monetary perks but our names got a little shine
|
| Back when I used to rhyme in ciphers all day
|
| True skills told me that I need to meet RJ
|
| I did at the next show
|
| I’m makin’some small change
|
| The next at the Expo we met in the hallway
|
| Talked about me solo and us collaborated
|
| A single that was promo and beats he said he was makin'
|
| From the crew on the low low so we wasn’t nameless
|
| Stole our name from a fuckin’soul night he used to play at
|
| I’m holdin’down a job he’s tryin’to stay in school
|
| Week days was hard but weekends was available
|
| Started gettin’props from friends on other labels
|
| Next thing you know we got our own deal on the table
|
| All in together now
|
| Things go better now
|
| All in together
|
| Things go better
|
| Dead Ringer hit first then came Unlimited
|
| We finally got heard, fans was feelin’it
|
| Tried to make our tour work, the pieces didn’t fit
|
| So we rolled out separate on some different shit
|
| When you come up the way that I came up
|
| Rolling out solo might not seem right to you
|
| And even if you’re talented enough to succeed
|
| You feel incomplete if your people ain’t beside you
|
| And almost overnight I gave up my home life
|
| My 365 was hotels and long drives
|
| Withdrew from people that I known my whole life
|
| And lost everything that resembled a normal life
|
| And RJ is dealin’with his own shit
|
| He wanted to quit before 8 Million Stories hit
|
| We had to cancel most of our first tour
|
| We did what we could but I wish we did more
|
| All in together now
|
| Things go better now
|
| All in together
|
| Things go better
|
| But guess what happened along the way
|
| People got the album, went home, pressed play
|
| Recognized our talents, felt what we had to say
|
| Called it, «A classic», supporting us to this day
|
| What I thought was a curse was really a blessing
|
| A lesson learned in maturity and tough decisions
|
| And workin’through whatever obstacle had us stressin'
|
| Till we improved our level of communication
|
| But meanwhile, other cats I claim as friends
|
| Acted foul to me, soon as shit hit the fan
|
| They can’t talk to me like a man and shake my hand
|
| I let that petty shit slide so we can make amends
|
| This ain’t the industry
|
| This is Soul Position
|
| This ain’t about fame, fortune or pretty women
|
| So on our brokest days we’ll still be the richest
|
| Cause we got what really counts
|
| Friendship
|
| So how you feel?
|
| What’s your life about?
|
| Is it real?
|
| You got something to rhyme about?
|
| You got skills or you wastin’time writin’it down?
|
| Before you write another rhyme you better find out
|
| Now frills
|
| That’s what my life about
|
| I write it down to a beat I’m excited about
|
| Then sit back and smile at how tight it sounds
|
| Cause things went better this time around
|
| What
|
| All in together now
|
| Things go better now
|
| All in together
|
| Things go better |
