2gether lyrics

Artist  : Prince 
Song : 2gether
 
Yeah 
2gether 

Your boy got popped in a driveby yesterday 
He'll be lucky if he makes it through the night
is what the doctors say 
U can take revenge or U can be the one 2 break
the chain 
U look up in the sky 4 an answer and it starts 2
rain 

CHORUS: 
What are we if we're not 2gether? 
How do we make a life that's better? (Yeah) 
Cuz when we be killin' one another (Take each
other out) 
How do we (Huh, how) call each other brother?
(Mmm, check it) 
U tell me 

What's the chance of a brother gettin' off the
block? 
What's the chance, not a damn 
If all he wanna do is sell chicken wings and the
rock 
(Chicken wing and the rock) 
U can blame the system, U can be the one 2 even
the score, huh 
Yeah, huh, U look up in the sky 4 an answer and
it starts 2 pour 
Drop it, huh 

What are we if we're not 2gether? 
How do we make a life that's better? (Yeah) 
Cuz when we be killin' one another (Take each
other out) 
How do we (Huh, how) call each other brother? 
U tell me (Tell'em) 

Why is slangin' them thangs, coppin' a stroll,
flashin' a sign 
Key topics on a young black mind? 
Cuz it's the picture that we give'em and they
illustrate 
Black on black genocide has started 2 escalate 
Every brother ain't a brother cuz o' color, this
is true 
But I can still say 2 my brother "Much love boo" 
Please Lord, give me the strength and make it
quick 
Cuz my people won't take another nightstick, huh 

What are we if we're not 2gether? 
How do we make a life that's better? (And how do
we, yeah) 
Cuz when we be killin' one another (Take each
other out) 
How do we call each other brother? (I don't know)

U tell me 

Yo, it's simple 
From the old 2 the young 
2 uplift we must give the gift 
Gift of knowledge, that is 
Teach our young 
That all in life ain't fun 
And 2 make a life that's better 
My people must stick 2gether 
The choice is yours 

CHORUS 

What are we if we're not 2gether? 
How do we make a life that's better? (2gether) 
Cuz when we be killin' one another 
How do we call each other brother? 
U tell me 

2gether {x2}
