The Four Owls – Think Twice lyrics

[Intro: dj Premier]
Yeah, Dj Premier back again
Ready to do the damn thing
Like I always do, ya heard?
This time we're goin'ova seas
Four bruvas, betta known as
The Four Owls
I think ya betta think twice about this one!
Let's go!

[Hook x2]

[Verse Leaf Dog]
Yo,
Yo, see me on the track, masked up like I'm robbin trains
Think twice, like a Siamese with a double brain.
Flyin for a minute, now you're gone, like the missin plane
Waitin on my lines like a sub that can't play the game.
Talks half the same, teeth break when they [?] bite/bag [?] this
Disarm your style, chop the hand off you write with.
They got more issues than the Source magazine
Claim their married to the game but get divorced by the scene.
People will only think again if they have to
Like a nose job, feelin the pain for face value.
Don't let it cloud you, learn to take a breather
Ya know you got it covered with the leaf like Sativa.
Can make yo bars a little more fresh, like prison cleaners
Welcome to the Premiered life, our new arenas right here
So I'll leave you the legacy proceeds,
Preem' chopin' up your air like [?] Mark, Brand and Ree [?].
Let's go, son.

[Verse 2 Fliptrix]
I grab the microphone and I'm causing a pandemonium
Practically supernatural, capture you like opium.
You have to take notes before you can dream of foldin' em
Understand that sentence and turn it to custodial.
With bars so fly, they'll go over your head like bird's eye view
So you need to think twice about the words I use.
To confuse you like doppel-gangers
In the parallel universe, having deja-vu
They live the life as you before your birth, that's absurd.
I'm cruising like hang-gliders, making moves like atoms in the hadron collider.
Who's badder, who's wiser, who do you root for
I know the latter's the survivor, calibrate the mind like scales
Weigh your life up, evaluate the difference of money,
It's something priceless, trust, you can't buy this,
Come to make decisions, the ones you take will define ya.

[Verse 3 bva mc]
Yo, they can't get near, but makin sure they catch me
Preemo production, never [?] repo'd/reprobed like factories/fat trees [?]
Never see us fall off like bad leaves, but bad seeds will grow
And give emcees, bad dreams, the face reaps, take caution
Reign fire like the Four Horsemen
We cut em off before their first breath, like an abortion
Like a vinyl, see a fake star warping
Takin' bids in a room full of rich pricks like an auction
We hammer down, independent, we never lived in glamour town
Swing my gram around, punch sound for sound
Use that power like aikido, shit, man
I'll take it off and beat em with their own ego
Keep the rhymin' scientific, now it's studied like the Mayans writ it
Coded lines to design specific
When I was younger, bumped the realness, I had to spit it
We're underground, ya wanna feel this? You have to dig it

[Verse 4: Verb T]
Yeah, yeah, yo, yo,
Anything that come this way bounce and ricochets
Praying on my downfall, nah, you best think again
Make the right decision, applied the wisdom
Ever on the rise like the price of livin
I sit and talk to my alter-ego
Things change, will it alter me tho?
He's so scandalous, just landed at heathrow
Head's still flyin tho, magic rap dynamo
Some died of old age, sittin tryna blow up
But I chase dreams, so I won't die in hope
I try and cope, life under the microscope
Heavy on the heart like years doin lines of coke
After hate, all that's left is pain
So best think twice about yesterday
We say yes today, not tomorrow, cos the aim is to set the pace
Not to follow, The Owls!
