The first track off of Grieves' new Rhymesayers release Together/Apart. Produced by Budo.

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.

BETTER WORLD LYRICS

(Chorus)
I never knew that life would be this way
For all my peoples in the struggle who got bills to pay
I heard another young kid done got killed today
And I can't understand the reason god I feel your pain
While we sin and then we blame it on the times we live
We shouldn't have to work this hard just to be positive
I don't wanna hear you tell me that's the way it is
Cus don't we all know the world should be better than this

(Wilson)
Ayo it's more than just a story that you watch on the news 
Cus if you think there ain't a problem then I'm talking to you 
Like just the other day another kid got shot for his shoes 
They getting picked up for prison as they dropping from schools
Why they give us lack of options, tax dollars for troops 
Then got the nerve to turn around and ask "What's wrong with the youth?"
Most of y'all stuck in the middle trying to offer a truce 
Watch as they put up their hands, still the officer shoots 
I'm done fighting these laws, done dealing with cops 
I'm ain't done doing dirt, I'm just done getting caught 
Couldn't do it for myself but I could do it for pops 
It's twice as hard to ask for help when you could use it a lot 
But I'm so glad I listened when he said we needed to talk 
Cus just a week after that my boy Jay Weezy got locked
Now he's looking at 10 and get out who knows when 
So until that day, I'ma sing it again and again

(Chorus)
I never knew that life would be this way
For all my peoples in the struggle who got bills to pay
I heard another young kid done got killed today
And I can't understand the reason god I feel your pain
While we sin and then we blame it on the times we live
We shouldn't have to work this hard just to be positive
I don't wanna hear you tell me that's the way it is
Cus don't we all know the world should be better than this

(Pepe)
Somebody tell me what's the meaning of life
When people sleeping on the streets
God this shit isn't right
You at the strip club throwing dollars
Making it rain
Right offa skid row kids be putting H in they veins
I know some people chasing money
And the corporate thing
But sorta lost their value to me cus their morals have changed
We on our cellphones scrolling for the fortune and fame
Feels like the best that we could hope for is more of the same
The way they misuse religion god
It hurts my soul
To shame a woman for abortion or her birth control
When she can't afford a mortgage
Or put food on the stove
And the housing scandal went and dug us deep in a hole
Now bury the truth beneath a pile of money
Another cop on paid leave without a trial or nothing uh
Blame the victim it's time to change the system
I keep on praying for the day the world gon finally listen cmon

(Chorus)
I never knew that life would be this way
For all my peoples in the struggle who got bills to pay
I heard another young kid done got killed today
And I can't understand the reason god I feel your pain
While we sin and then we blame it on the times we live
We shouldn't have to work this hard just to be positive
I don't wanna hear you tell me that's the way it is
Cus don't we all know the world should be better than this

(Kids Singing)
I wonder if the sunshine feel the rain,
I wonder if the government feel ashamed,
We gon sing until we see things change,
Cus we don't believe it gotta be this way,
I wonder if the sunshine feel the rain,
I wonder if the government feel ashamed,
We gon sing until we see things change,
Cus we don't believe it gotta be this way
