INTRO:
- Not like before
- We're gonna tell a little story
- Feelin’ grown now
- About me, about he, about we
- Not like before
- Yeah yeah
- Not Like Before
- Check this
- Take me back - the Owls
VERSE 1:
LEAF DOG
- Man I only went school to sell weed at lunch time
- Two gurners on the tarmac crushed up fine
- Losing my mind, sniffing lines
- No attendance sign
- Made the habit mine of any drug I could find
- All I knew about was crime until I dropped a few shrooms
- Made a few tunes - me and BVA coming real soon
- And then it dropped, and nobody listened
- Lost but not forgotten was the beginning of this mission
- I used to be living on the floor with ?
- One of the reasons for the malnourished Leaf that you see
- He gave me the PC I used to make the beats for this CD
- Got passed the torch from ? and Cool G
- Much respect for that, and High Focus is the future
- See I've got your back, no shotty in my back-pack.
- Got my queen, no need to chase rat, you’re behind
- While I slowly take over the map,
- Watch the owls attack – ah!
VERSE 2:
FLIPTRIX
- Many things have changed since the old school days
- Runnin' round on train tracks, sprayin’ up the trains
- Picking up an eighth bag to blaze it in a day
- Now I smoke a little less, but it’s Indie Kush haze
- I’ll take you back for a lesson
- Way back to the Brixton mass open mic sessions.
- Avarice spotted me, thought that I was reppin'
- Then we met a little later at the Speakers’ Corner ?
- He took me to a studio in Queen’s Road Peckham
- Recorded Force Fed Imagery it seemed that it was destined
- I ain’t seen him in a couple years, but cuz he’s still my bredren
- Can’t forget about the man who put you in for a second
- Like Verb T - certified G the mic veteran
- Runone blessed me with beats from his collection.
- Got Madnice on the decks at every damn event son
- Also Kash had our back, we rinsed up the shows n' that
- Supported RA the Rugged Man, that was classic fact
- Reminisce, reminisce
- Remember lacin’ tunes wit' Chemo up in Brixton lab
- Then he moved it down to Whitechapel - place was nang
- Laced Theory Of Rhyme - man it went to plan
- Since then I’m high - focused on the present fam
- Make music, move units, stay reppin' that
- Make music, move units, stay reppin' that
VERSE 3:
BVA MC
- At school I never used to go and stay at home high
- That stoned and zoned guy, the same and you know why
- Then college, I wasn’t really concerned with that.
- Mainly went to sell ten pound sacks, and chase rats
- Dropped out and went back, but I still wasn’t focused
- Started rappin' on beats about how we be the brokest
- Job lost but not forgotten then there was World War Three
- Then the war ended and we still hadn't dropped the CD
- But now things are different cos kids still pump and listen
- To the CD that we give them three years ago on the mission
- Still leave the page written, hit the stage with our spittin’
- Got a contract and learned how to make our shit thicken
- Cleared our own path like a snow plow
- Gained the know-how on how to get exactly where we want
- And never go down
- And now we're that storm on your horizon.
- With more tracks laid down than a fifty year old whore
- That’s still riding
VERSE 4:
VERB T
- Yo, it started back, when I heard Slick Rick and Doug E Fresh
- I was eight used to play the vinyl when I dubbed cassettes
- I spent my teen years weeded out past high
- With Gang-star, Wu-Tang, Tribe and the Pharcyde
- I can’t lie, I was shy hittin’ open mics as a kid
- But the studio I was smashin’ it
- I had my first record out - I was eighteen
- Touring with Phi Life Cypher for that was like a day dream
- Shedded my innocence then started to grow wise
- And grow flow-wise, I hooked up with Low Life.
- Got some guidance and applied it, had confidence
- With Kashmere and Ghost toured the country and the continent
- But still I had to keep a nine to five to keep the bills paid
- And quit the weed just to try and keep my mind alive
- Sixteen bars is not enough time to write my entire life
- This is just one instalment
- Now I’m a proud father, grown, responsible
- Learnt over years hate kills love conquers all
- So I look to the future after steppin' back
- Make music move units stay reppin' that
- Make music move units stay reppin' that
