RJD2 - Things Go Better lyrics

[Hook] 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 sk**s 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 f**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 [Hook] All in together now Things go better now All in together Things go better [Verse Two] Deadringer 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 sh** 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 sh** 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 [Hook] 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 cla**ic", 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 sh** hit the fan They can't talk to me like a man and shake my hand I let that petty sh** 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 sk**s 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 [Hook] All in together now Things go better now All in together Things go better
