The Union is a hip-hop group who works to marry ill rhymes with ill beats, composed of Knowledge aka AK, and Da Vinci aka Da Verbal Arteest. We are based at Morgan State University in Baltimore. We make good hip-hop, we don't claim to be revolutionary. The only thing revolutionary about us is the fact that we're different than the norm, because we are ourselves on the mic. We think, we feel, and we're ill. If you want straight underground "nerd-rap", we implore you to open your mind. If you want straight "shoot'em up" or "street-hustla" rap, we implore you to open your mind. Life is about balancing opposing forces, as is our music. To describe our music succinctly, we are mcs' mcs. No pedestrian rhymes or formulaic songs this way. No wack beats that sound like everything else you hear. If it ain't ill, our name ain't goin near it. But dont get it twisted that we spit like encyclopedias, our songs are very accesible. Yet every time u listen, you'll catch something you didn't the time before.

Lyrics
Hook 1: ~wishin for a potion or some kind of concoction/ to end the bad dreams they havin where true love ain’t a option/ ...I watch it all and mull over the concept of love/ whether one-sided or two how can you tell if its true?/ verse 1: light kisses on cheeks as they veg on top of sheets/ she professes her love as Luther rides the beat/ “Shit! I didn’t feel like crossing this bridge now/ too many shorties in the world yo, she trynna tie me down”/4 don’t wanna lose her, but not ready for full commitment/ but can’t back off now, gotta pass the litmus/ like a midterm determine if you droppin the class/ if you don’t say them four words then she droppin yo ass/8 I wonder how many cats spit what they wanna hear/ not knowing that that stuff is known to end careers/ meanwhile “I love you too” is relayed to her ears/ she smiles, hugs her man, her eye drops a tear/12 “This was the moment I feared”, but I gotta do me/ so he gets up, tells her for work he gotta leave/ she contemplate timing but ease it out her mind/ know the nature of the job, gotta bounce at odd times/16 just like that, a powder keg is set explode/ and he gets dressed, wonderin’, which one of his hoes/ to invite, to run through tonight in no light/ all the while his love is missin her Mr. Right/20 Hook 2: raised by playas, couldn’t help but glean it/ but transplanted prior to learning how to be it/ shorty felt his way around this tangled web of emotion/ wit’ nobody holdin’ a light surrounded by a black ocean/ ~wishin for a potion or some kind of concoction/ to end the bad dreams he’s havin where deception ain’t a option/ ...I watch it all and mull over the concept of love/ whether one-sided or two how can you tell if its true?/ verse 2: now...she lyin down while he puts his belt on/ the sex was great, but in her memory it felt wrong/ like with it she paid a price for her man tonight/ she know it ain't right, but the lovin might stop her buggin/4 momentarily, “God why'd I fall so hard?/ he ain't the greatest but he good and I want him all/ to myself, maybe I could mold him if the sex could hold him/ long enough...for him to see happiness is me/8 we been goin out for months and still no l-o-v-e/ ~let alone any kinda talk of a ring”/ funny it seems, he never wants to talk about the future/ but he's always interested in practicin kama sutra/12 so...he's leavin she's beamin at the pro-gress/ he finally said it, so for her no more stress/ racin to commitment, new plan for the bitchin/ time to move-in, then come the marriage and the children/16 got 'im on the fast-track to the ball-and-chain/ and she daydreamin, bout bank accounts in both names/ sure the same worries still weigh down her brain/ but he'll be forced to grow up, with a baby on the way/20 wean him off condoms, she conniving and such/ manipulatin him, thinkin he don't think that much/ it seem like a game yo, the way she be playin to win/ ya she wrong, but this is her vision of love/24 hook 3: intent on latchin’ on cuz the feeling is strong/ done found the right, ain’t no chance of being wrong/ didn’t understand just what she was getting into/ she knows its true, just gotta convince him too/ ~wishin for a potion or some kind of concoction/ to end the bad dreams she havin’ where changin’ him ain’t a option/ ...I watch it all and mull over the concept of love/ whether one-sided or two how can you tell if its true?/
