| 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 | |
