Sam Nabi - Together (feat. Stevedave) Lyrics

Started out Rum Running, now they serve benedicts
Props to Darryl and Liz, really running shit
Piinpoint the disruptors who force down bitter medicine
Evict the grittiness that made Kitchener in again
Out on the town in my peacoat
Buying rounds and doing shots of Crown with my people
Down to earth but I still feel elite, so
Why is this guy out here trying to start beef though?
He looks me down, says, "What the hell is that?"
I'm no denim-leather-plaid, he's smoking a Camel pack
I'm not really a fan of that, I just try to shoulder past
Up the stairs and chuckle-laugh, another night at One-Eyed Jack's
Too many silos in this here town
We've got to get to know each other, spread that love around
Don't come here as conquerors or saviours, keep your head down
New money's suspect, you haven't earned our trust yet
We've got to find a way to live together
And I believe that we will live forever
We've got to find a way to live for better
And I believe that we will live forever
Tent City taking over like, "Did you miss me?"
We've got a history of leaving people up shit creek
This week, the paper sings the praises of the Litts
Bulldoze over the bits that fall out from the slipstream
No amount of cheerleading the split-screen
Can make certain that they're listening to the missed dreams
Of rubber workers grappling with cancer because they mistreat
Our folks getting priced out of their homes again this week
We've got to find a way to live together
And I believe that we will live forever
We've got to find a way to live for better
And I believe that we will live forever
Some people, man, you know what they say
They think they know it all so they stand at the gate
Knowing damn well that difference is the thing that they hate
Because it scares them just to think they could get similar fates
As the ones they stand on top of to get where they are at
Even though those are the ones who are breaking their backs
Metaphorically speaking they are swinging the axe
Chopping down the things you think and replacing them with facts
It's a f*cked up world and I'm telling the truth
You know I always gotta do that when I step in the booth
When I get behind the microphone is what I should say
Because if I'm not being honest, then I'm wasting my day
But back to the point, ain't no half steppin'
No affiliations, no crew that I'm repping
STEVEDAVE4LYFE and life is with a Y
4 is like a number if you have to ask me why
We've got to find a way to live together
And I believe that we will live forever
We've got to find a way to live for better
And I believe that we will live forever
Coming up among the ghosts of Breithaupt and Lang
Out of my way, creative 'cause I'm writing for days
Right up the laneway, we're getting tainted with grey
Who's to say who made it and who's faded away?
This boom-bap reverberates from oceans away
Respect to the MCs from Jamaica to UK
Cambridge, St. Jacob's, grime to dub
Slam, trap, I bring it back to DTK love
We get shoved under the rug when a rapper comes up
See, T-Dot is feeding off talent that we've got
From CKMS to C-Block we've got that Street Hop
Spinning at Wax or in the backyard at Steve Mock's
Tight-knit so we take care of our own
The right fit for bringing someone into the fold
Young and old, respect the hustle you show
It's tough work revealing what's inside of your soul
We've got to find a way to live together
And I believe that we will live forever
We've got to find a way to live for better
And I believe that we will live forever
