Things Go Better - Soul Position

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
