[Verse 1: Torae]
Give in the work, never taking time off
Sentences stacked, never take a line off
Never is my mind off the ultimate goal
While I'm cooking these rappers, make food for the soul
Now here it go, let it breathe for a minute
Body the beat, grieve for a minute
Up the sleeve for a minute, got tricks at the tray
Never been to barber school, but still give you the fade
I still give you the blade, I been sharp with the jargon
Posted on the block while you was posted up blogging
They say we out mobbing, won't say they the cause
Paint a perfect society, say we the flaws
When you calling the law, it's like we call it the lost
Hell of a price to pay when your life is the cause
Let's get it right to the source, our dollar should make change
We can keep getting booked or get on the same page
Together
[Hook: Shaquawna Shawnte]
Together
We'll get so far
But we won't know who we are
And we gon' never have more
Unless we come together
We'll get so far
But we won't know who we are
And we gon' never have more
Unless we come together
[Verse 2: Torae]
I don't pop molly or rock Tom Ford
A white tee, hard denim and some Concords
Flyer than the Concorde, you're never in flight
You could buy a lot of diamonds, won't give you the light
My goal, never think twice and why settle for less
Rather die for a cause than to live with regret
I'm more [?], designed mind and deliver the best
The boy [?], they give you [?]
You're still living depressed, Mike Brown and Emmitt Till
They'll give you Love & Hip Hop, won't give you the real
I'm like Mona Scott of the block, is really the deal
Is that I been on love and hip-hop since I came in the field
Yeah I came here to build and got a hand full of bills
Now who down to pay it forward, who came here to chill
It's like the more you conceal, then the more you reveal
I can chef the food for thoughts but let's deliver the meals
Together

[Verse 3: Kil Ripkin]
Together we reign, strong as the weakest link on the chain
The empire's back unified, doing its thing
The return of the queen and her king, time for victory
Time to coalesce in to our own valiant victory
Know your fam's history, not falling for the trickery
Or marching in them streets while police give civil injury
Nah, we need love, truth, peace, freedom, and justice
I told you, it's nobles, there's nothing more illustrious
Nothing more regal, we know lawful from legal
You can't gun our youth down, use the system to free you
Without being shown how divine deals with the evil
Bear witness for yourself the most powerful people
Home rule, home school, it's been home, you heard
All tribes reunited like peaches and herb
Getting to it, what is [?], what they teach is absurd
It's static for the Asiatic rebirthed and emerged
Together
[Hook]
