Artist | Soul Position |
Album | Things Go Better With Rj And Al |
作曲 : Blueprint | |
All in together now | |
Things go better now | |
All in together | |
Things go better | |
[Verse One] | |
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 ****in' 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 | |
[Chorus] | |
All in together now | |
Things go better now | |
All in together | |
Things go better | |
[Verse Two] | |
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 | |
[Chorus] | |
All in together now | |
Things go better now | |
All in together | |
Things go better | |
[Verse Three] | |
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 | |
[Chorus] | |
All in together now | |
Things go better now | |
All in together | |
Things go better |
