Grinding on a 9 to 5 scene seen dreams
Get rich quick schemes but nothings guaranteed
So I'm puffing on the weed hoping to sprout some green
Money's a disease got me trying to "gangrene"
Can you blame me for situations I face
Trying to escape till the day I get a taste of my fate
If I could erase mistakes correct those I've yet to make
I solemnly swear to stay sharp like razor blades
Create ways to evade this place in a major way
So I take a page release my rage and anger fades away
On top of my game step to me get kicked to the "KIRB"
Cuz nothing can fade me except for my herb
Observe sin as the world spins I'm trying to grab a hold
Downward spiral type of whirlwind spinning down the whole
Grinning cause I know winning isn't just the gold
It's about envisioning the goal and how you finish when you go

The end of 2008 saw Grieves enlisting the help of friend and collaborator Budo to co-produce Together/Apart bringing his signature swiss-army knife, multi-instrumental backdrop to Grieves' hauntingly poignant narrative. The album began taking shape in New York as the two built off the success 88 Keys and Counting had generated and paired it with the intensity they developed from  their live performances.  The recording process began to shadow the theme of the album as it saw tracks recorded in Colorado and Washington in addition to New York, infusing it with a mixture of regional influences while still maintaining a cohesive sound.  As the album neared completion the title took on a double meaning for Grieves as he explored new subject matter in the absence of trust, refuge in addiction, acceptance and honesty in self-reflection, and trying to find his place in the world without forgetting his roots.  

Together/Apart concludes three years of self-discovery that has ultimately lead to Grieves' most emotionally charged and daring album to date.

I’m Coming Back

Verse 1
It caught his eye from the distance; 
Not what he envisioned, but he still witnessed
And in an instance, his whole world shook; 
On a solo mission, alone he stood
Took foot through the stakes that they put on his plate
Devoured these sour cowards, all in good taste
Came a long way since he went the wrong way
I’m coming back…
He heard a song play one day, when he was in a slump
Done--Treated last place like it was second to none
Seen what he became; didn’t feel the same
Hurt so much, he turned numb & couldn’t feel the pain
A harsh reality some call life
If only I’d.... it would be alright
Time and time again through these times, I fight
But this time I’m coming in a full steamed stride

Chorus

I’m comin’ back; Comin’ back for more
Try to keep me down, but I’m standing up for more
Got my hands raised up and my head held high
And I’m comin’ back…C’mon!

Verse 2
He once carried the weight of the world
Gained strength through the wait, for the day it unfurled
Nothing’s for certain; that’s for sure
This he learned from the days when he raised from his worst
It gets jaw droppin’ once your guard drops
Stuck between rock bottom and the hard knocks
Where hearts stop; and he almost got caught
Clawed; Found his way out the land of the lost
All he knew was he had to move on
But every other time he said that, he didn’t last too long
Time passes on; he’s never been more focused
The kid task flipped and he hasn’t even noticed
Showin’ he can hold his own, he makes his way
A chance to make up for mistakes he’s made
Takes the pain with a smirk, which he learned along the way
And finally reassured when he heard the song say…

Chorus

Something About Us

(Verse)
You got me love; 
the feeling’s getting harder to hide
It’s obvious; instead I keep it bottled inside
It’s all because I’m waiting til’ the timing is right
Travel sights on random flights; you by my side.
It’s no surprise you got a man
But I see u giving mixed signals, like you wanna take a chance
I’m tryna play my hand; You tryna stay true
When there’s something about us I’d like to share with you
Cherish you, care for you in every way
I wanna be the reason that you smile everyday
Your style is amazing; I ain’t tryna complicate things but, the way things seem, I may be…
Lately we been way to close
Guilty grin when u can’t say no...Maybe you need to let things go
When you’re ready baby, let me know…Let me know

Chorus

It might not be the right time
I might not be the right one
But there’s something about us I want to say’Cuz there’s something between us anyway
I might not be the right one
It might not be the right time
But there’s something about us I’ve got to do
Some kind of secret I will share with youI need you more than anything in my life
I want you more than anything in my life
I’ll miss you more than anyone in my life
I love you more than anyone in my life

Hey Lady! 

(Chorus)
Tell me what’s your name?
Maybe a little bit later
You can save a dance for me; save a dance for me.
(repeat)

Verse 1
Moonlit skies in the city of dreams
A super star standout and I’m killin’ the scene
It’s like 1:15, me and BTS
Dance floor jumpin’, the honeys lookin’ fresh to death
Better said, we in for a killin’
Window to the wall, floor to the ceiling
It’s true livin’ we just getting’ it in
Paid shorty a glance; she shot me a grin
Tipped her my brim; this got the making of a nice evening
It got the right vibe; I can’t fight the feelin’
So I won’t; just order up another Long Island
Then we to the dance floor wildin’
Made my way towards the crowd
That’s when I found honey with the smile and I was diggin’ her style
No matter what the question, I expected a yes, when I approached her
So I walked over and said

Chorus

Verse 2
Yo baby had moves; she a handful
DJ kept givin’ us something to dance to
Offered her a drink before round 2
So we could take the time to be properly introduced
Finally got to talk and swap info
We was on the same page, same M.O.
Up close, she was eye candy to the utmost
Showed her who was boss with a shot of patron
(Uh oh) You could feel it in the air
By the way she smiled, when I whispered in her ear
It was crystal clear, the mood was right
Slipped the invite and the move was right
You got friends, I do too; Plus it’s only 2
And you’d be a liar, if you say it isn’t true
Take my hand; we gon’ shake in a few
Im’a roll one up, then we gon’ do what we been waitin’ to do
 C’mon!

Chorus
(breakdown)
Chorus
Save one (Save a dance for me)
Save one (Save a dance for me)
Save one (Save a dance for me)
(repeat)

Verse 1
If loving you is punishment, you've tortured me well, baby
But you never seem to compliment, these words that mean well, lady
Every day is like the bitter end of something that we never had, baby
I'm really trying to be the better man, but lately my judgement's been bad
Since you've been in my life, i've tried to do right, but you laugh in my face when i kiss you goodnight
As i lay by your side, tears run down my eyes, all i have left is my pride

Chorus
So i'm walking out that door into the night and now i now, that
You just ain't right
You just ain't right
No no no

Verse 2
I wonder what's gotten into you, 'cause lately it hasn't been me, get it?
Could it be that i want all of you, when you see no benefit in me, damn it!
I don't understand, or am i just blind 
Baby i was confused, i want to know the whole truth, but wait... Wait a minute...
Is that a ring on your finger? 
Now the shit's hit the fan, this crazy bitch has a man,
Not just any man, a motherfuckin husband
I thought we were exclusive, now i'm just playin' stupid, and love that we had is now useless

Chorus
So i'm walking out that door into the night and now i know that
You just ain't right
You just ain't right
Oh, i'm walking out that door into the night and now i know that
You just ain't right
You just ain't right

So i'm walking out that door into the night and now i know that
You just ain't right
You just ain't right
Oh, i'm walking out that door into the night and now i know that
You just ain't right
You just ain't right

VERSE 1
Time slips through my eyelids blind and trying to find it
Silence awakened by the violence taken 
Soul chasing escaping these drastic times
Write rhymes just to pass the time 
As for my life and where I stand in line 
I’m not sure because I live a blur half the time
The other half I'm a mastermind living classified
Attacking lines with pure passion and pride
As the clock keeps ticking time passing me by
Lay it all on the line with out understanding why
So I ask the skies for clarification
To no response so I'm lost and then it starts raining
And I swear that night I felt revived 
Refreshed took steps towards a new life
I knew life wasn’t guaranteed 
But now I knew why in light of uncertainty 

CHORUS
This is a promise from my heart to be true, that’s right
To never quit and always pull through, its like
I’m going to fight through the thick and the thin and continue to win
Til’ I’m the last man standing

VERSE 2
So many questions not enough answers
Déjà vu when it happens like I'm having relapses
And time passes at a rapid pace 
To the same old same that’s why I turned my back on fate
An act of faith in the stand I take
But I’m the man I make blessed with the knack to create
Emancipate my soul but wont lose control
Grab hold let the story be told as the bell tolls
Self grows with every lesson learned
And self knows it’s a test for the success we yearn
Expect the worst so I’m at my best at all times
Because if you can’t stay close you get left behind
To the death I strive until nothings left inside
Everything happens for a reason the questions why
Searching for that sense of pride 
In this quest I find music best represents my life, that’s my word

CHORUS
This is a promise from my heart to be true, that’s right
To never quit and always pull through, its like
I’m going to fight through the thick and the thin and continue to win
Til’ I’m the last man standing

VERSE 3
Same book new chapter the facts of life
Thinking like I got the answers then disaster strikes
All laughs aside I'm forced to sacrifice
Plans subside misfortunes got me asking why
Insanity is tampering wit my mind. I'm questioning self
Things I thought I knew got me second guessing myself
Stressing for help instead of helping myself
Took a deep breath reset and said to myself I said
Hold on slow down
We may slip but never fall down
So hold your ground you’re better than that
I speak truth so pay attention to fact
Yo I like where my heads at; been there done that
Nothing new another set back watch me get back
Let the pen scratch t-he itching I'm feeling inside
It’s all earned nothings given in life

CHORUS
This is a promise from my heart to be true, that’s right
To never quit and always pull through, its like
I’m going to fight through the thick and the thin and continue to win
Til’ I’m the last man standing

Rap Verse
I was born to be a star like an asterisk, so dirty I’m immaculate,
Sharp shooter like Brett Hart stay accurate
HipHop activist flow remains hazardous
Check it Pay no attention to the Xs and Os
Throw your game plan out the window I’m too reckless for those
Set to explode the pen sentenced the flow
Kick infectious lectures that got me destined to blow
I’m six figures no decimals; hit at high decibels 
No intention to cause a ruckus but I’m tempted to
Destined to when the pen moves as I execute
Serve truth and they poof when they see proof
And it’s all in the pudding
Trying to put my name next to success like John Wooden
Leave my footprints in the pavement I'm made to keep pushing
Aye yo flip it on em’ Ebo

VERSE 1
Shorty get down, good Lord
Baby got em up open all over town
Strictly biz, she don't play around
Cover much ground, got game by the pound
Getting paid is a forte
Each and every day, true player way
I can't get her out of my mind
(what)
I think about the girl all the time

East side to the west side
Pushing phat rides, it's no surprise
She got tricks in the stash
Stacking up the cash
Fast when it comes to the gas
By no means average
She's on when she's got to have it
Baby, you're a perfect ten, I wanna get in
Can I get down, so I can win

CHORUS
[1] - I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up, bag it up
[Repeat 1 (3x)]

VERSE 2
She's got class and style
Street knowledge by the pound,
Baby never act wild
Very low key on the profile
Catching villains is a no,
Let me tell you how it goes
Curve's the words, spins the verbs
Lovers it curves so freak what you heard
Rollin' with the phatness
You don't even know what the half is
You gotta pay to play
Just for shorty, bang-bang, to look your way
I like the way you work it
Trumped tight, all day, every day
You're blowing my mind, maybe in time
Baby, I can get you in my ride

CHORUS

[2] - Hey yo, hey yo, hey yo, hey yo
Hey yo, hey yo, hey yo, hey yo
Hey yo, hey yo, hey yo, hey yo
Hey yo, hey yo, hey yo, hey yo

CHORUS

VERSE 2
Eyes locked you’re hard to miss
A certified 10 yo its obvious
Caught my eye since I walked in
Left your swag at home brought the confidence
And I have to have that style that I cant resist 
And we, we can dance to this
Come on girl just jump to it
You’re the type of honey dip I see myself running with
Hotter than summer gets in the middle of July
See the fire in your eye like the twinkle in the sky
And the things that u make me think
When u sh, sh sh sh, sh sh Shake that thing 
Take a shot as we take that drink
Look in your eyes say you’er waiting on me
Knowing where this nights gonna lead
Cuz I got my eyes on the prize and her eyes on me

You make me wanna go….UHH!
