The stood

Drop it

Ace and Action

Steady Pace by my side

The name of this one here is Together

This is goin’ out to all those who some day reach that fork in the road, you know?

Cause we all have the potential to get there together

Listen up

I got a problem, the Ace is bubblin’

Physically I’m fit as a fiddle, but somethin’s troublin’

My mind, I’m in search of the find

A style that’s designed just for this kind

Of a raid, it’s a must to get paid

Or fade into the whack parade

And so you can’t wade

Through this groove, it’s as deep as a diver goes

As I proceed, the liver it grows

Then it reaches your ear, teaches you where

You are and where it should be, to each his share

Unadultared, dope, I made it to cope

With any that hope that I faded – nope

I’m still on the scene, kill all the mean

Stares, who cares, they hurtin’ nothin’, when will you fiend

For somethin’ attainable, somethin’ more gainable

I build and I’m filled with knowledge undrainable

It’s overflowin’, before long you’re goin’

To find out, you kept your mind out of growin’

The way you did it, was you didn’t admit it was

Somethin’ that applied to you, you should bit it, ’cause

But you chose to ignore, I suppose you explore

Only things with wings and a halo – sure

You’re not a saint, but you try to paint

A picture that’ll get you respect, don’t you know it ain’t

How large you’re livin’, or what you’re drivin’

But what your goals are, so keep on strivin’

And gainin’, maintainin’

Keep your brain intact, this is mental trainin’

For the minds that have given up

Other are livin up, if you want a sip, then go get a cup

And we’ll take a drink from the fountain

Of success, yo, let’s all climb the mountain

Together

[Chorus]

We’re gonna get there

Oh yeah, we’re gonna get there

Together

Together

Together

We got to, got to, got to

Get there together

Who’s with me now, raise your hand

Need inspiration? The capital A’s your man

I’ll inspire you to strive a little higher

You won’t tire, and not even barbwire

Will obstruct your progress, I guess

You want to succeed? Determination is what you need

Face your fears and place your tears aside

Raise your peers to the top, here’s a guide

For you to follow by, try and swallow my

Food for thought, and you’re short of an alibi

There’s no excuses, the rhyme just spruces

And juices up a small mind, so call mine the loosest

Cause I get looser than mice in a basement

I grab the mic, and that’s when the place went

Wild, Steady smiled, I didn’t crack one

Not that I’m mean or that I lack fun

But the topic is serious, listeners are curious

Rappers are lerious, the Ace and I’m furious

It’s not the kinda rage that makes me want to rant and rave

Across the stage like a beast in a cage, I save

All the screamin’ and shoutin’ for the next man

The look on my face is the proof that I’m vexed, and

I don’t yell, I don’t swell, I tell facts

And simply stated I made it, sell tracks

But I want respect from those who chose to

Flap your rat traps, cause heaven knows you

Made a mistake when you chose to oppose

You tried to step on toes, now you’re dissed case closed

Cause like it or not, Action is gettin’ there

So keep on sittin’ there, riffin’ and splittin’ hair

And critizisin’, I got my eyes in

An upward glance, and I see us all risin’

Together

[Chorus]

Listen up

Who says a brother can’t get his with his

Eyes on the prize, realize that it is

Highly probable that someday he will

Believe and therefore achieve, but we will

Keep an eye out, cause he might try out

A quicker way to payday, but I doubt

The brother knows: the harder the wind blows

The faster the quick cash goes, and I suppose

Gettin’ paid everyday means improvement

Bust the movement on the floor as the groove went

(Together) as the bass kicked, the Ace picked

The mic up, and now I’m gonna strike up a taste licked

By a licker and bitten by a biter

Sucked by a sucker, I fought like a fighter

To get the meal rarely barely shared by

A brother of color, but I’m not scared, I

Don’t want to stop, to the top it’s a rat race

Or should I say rap race, I want to get that taste

My mouth is waterin, who’s that orderin?

The Ace’ll slow a pace, I’m almost borderin

On breakin, cause it’s there for the takin

And I’m not fakin, yo, I want the bacon

But I’m not hurryin or worryin, there’s time for

Me to get mine, but I made a rhyme for

To use, so you score, it’s more like food for

Empty spaces, now the Ace is in the mood for

Seein the black with a tack with a feather

Cause we don’t need a 2×4 just to get there together

Yeah, yeah stop
