Things Go Better Songtext
von Soul Position

All in together now
Things go better now
All in together
Things go better


I started slanging tapes way back in ′99
Founded Weightless, Greenhouse was on our grind
Then Mhz was coming up at the same time
No monetary perks, but our names got a little shine
Back when I used to rhyme in cyphers all day
True Skillz told me that I need to meet RJ
I did at the next show, I'm making some small change
The next at the expo, we talked in the hallway
Talked about me solo and us collaborating
A single that was promo and beats that he was making
Formed a crew on the low-low and so he wasn′t nameless
Stole a name from a fucking soul night he used to play at
I'm holding down a job, he trying to stay in school
Weekdays was hard but weekends was available
Started getting 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 feeling it
Tried to make our tour work, the pieces didn't fit
So we rolled out separate on some different shit
But 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'd known my whole life
And lost everything that resembled a normal life
And RJ′s dealing with his own shit
He wanted to quit before Eight 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 the talent, 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 working through whatever obstacle had us stressing
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 or shake my hand
Or let the 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 wasting time writing it down?
Before you write another rhyme you better find out
No 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 sound
Cause things went better this time around, what!

All in together now
Things go better now
All in together
Things go better
All in together now
Things go better now
All in together
Things go better

Yeah, yeah

Things go better now
