Drop it | |
Ace and action | |
Steady pace by my side | |
The name of this one here is together | |
This is goin out to all those who some day reach that fork in the road, you know? | |
Cause we all have the potential to get there together | |
Listen up | |
I got a problem, the ace is bubblin | |
Physically i'm fit as a fiddle, but somethin's troublin | |
My mind, i'm in search of the find | |
A style that's designed just for this kind | |
Of a raid, it's a must to get paid | |
Or fade into the wack parade | |
And so you can't wade | |
Through this groove, it's as deep as a diver goes | |
As i proceed, the liver it grows | |
Then it reaches your ear, teaches you where | |
You are and where it should be, to each his share | |
Unadultared, dope, i made it to cope | |
With any that hope that i faded - nope | |
I'm still on the scene, kill all the mean | |
Stares, who cares, they hurtin nothin, when will you fiend | |
For somethin attainable, somethin more gainable | |
I build and i'm filled with knowledge undrainable | |
It's overflowin, before long you're goin | |
To find out, you kept your mind out of growin | |
The way you did it, was you didn't admit it was | |
Somethin that applied to you, you should bit it, cuz | |
But you chose to ignore, i suppose you explore | |
Only things with wings and a halo - sure | |
You're not a saint, but you try to paint | |
A picture that'll get you respect, don't you know it ain't | |
How large you're livin, or what you're drivin | |
But what your goals are, so keep on strivin | |
And gainin, maintainin | |
Keep your brain intact, this is mental trainin | |
For the minds that have given up | |
Other are livin up, if you want a sip, then go get a cup | |
And we'll take a drink from the fountain | |
Of success, yo, let's all climb the mountain | |
Together | |
[ chorus ] | |
We're gonna get there | |
Oh yeah, we're gonna get there | |
Together (3x) | |
We got to, got to, got to | |
Get there together | |
Who's with me now, raise your hand | |
Need inspiration? the capital a's your man | |
I'll inspire you to strive a little higher | |
You won't tire, and not even barbwire | |
Will obstruct your progress, i guess | |
You wanna succeed? determination is what you need | |
Face your fears and place your tears aside | |
Raise your peers to the top, here's a guide | |
For you to follow by, try and swallow my | |
Food for thought, and you're short of an alibi | |
There's no excuses, the rhyme just spruces | |
And juices up a small mind, so call mine the loosest | |
Cause i get looser than mice in a basement | |
I grab the mic, and that's when the place went | |
Wild, steady smiled, i didn't crack one | |
Not that i'm mean or that i lack fun | |
But the topic is serious, listeners are curious | |
Rappers are lerious, the ace and i'm furious | |
It's not the kinda rage that makes me wanna rant and rave | |
Across the stage like a beast in a cage, i save | |
All the screamin and shoutin for the next man | |
The look on my face is the proof that i'm vexed, and | |
I don't yell, i don't swell, i tell facts | |
And simply stated i made it, sell tracks | |
But i want respect from those who chose to | |
Flap your rat traps, cause heaven knows you | |
Made a mistake when you chose to oppose | |
You tried to step on toes, now you're dissed - case closed | |
Cause like it or not, action is gettin there | |
So keep on sittin there, riffin and splittin hair | |
And critizisin, i got my eyes in | |
An upward glance, and i see us all risin | |
Together | |
[ chorus ] | |
Listen up | |
Who says a brother can't get his with his | |
Eyes on the prize, realize that it is | |
Highly probable that someday he will | |
Believe and therefore achieve, but we will | |
Keep an eye out, cause he might try out | |
A quicker way to payday, but i doubt | |
The brother knows: the harder the wind blows | |
The faster the quick cash goes, and i suppose | |
Gettin paid everyday means improvement | |
Bust the movement on the floor as the groove went | |
(together) as the bass kicked, the ace picked | |
The mic up, and now i'm gonna strike up a taste licked | |
By a licker and bitten by a biter | |
Sucked by a sucker, i fought like a fighter | |
To get the meal rarely barely shared by | |
A brother of color, but i'm not scared, i | |
Don't wanna stop, to the top it's a rat race | |
Or should i say rap race, i wanna get that taste | |
My mouth is waterin, who's that orderin? | |
The ace'll slow a pace, i'm almost borderin | |
On breakin, cause it's there for the takin | |
And i'm not fakin, yo, i want the bacon | |
But i'm not hurryin or worryin, there's time for | |
Me to get mine, but i made a rhyme for | |
To use, so you score, it's more like food for | |
Empty spaces, now the ace is in the mood for | |
Seein the black with a tack with a feather | |
Cause we don't need a 2x4 just to get there together | |
Yeah, yeah stop |
Drop it | |
Ace and action | |
Steady pace by my side | |
The name of this one here is together | |
This is goin out to all those who some day reach that fork in the road, you know? | |
Cause we all have the potential to get there together | |
