Lyrics Defiant - The Four Owls

Defiant

I’m tunnel visioned, running ism, conjuring some wisdom
Neighbours pissed, 'cus I be spitting, bumping out the system
The pigs called, my girl’s like «no, sorry, just missed him»
Little did they know, I was bunnin' spliffs up in the kitchen
Never ever slipping, still with the system brilliant
Defined with the rhyme defining lines of pilgrims
Set to make millions, building for my children
That’s yet to be born, yes you’ve been warned
I’m psychoactively affecting how your brain storms
You gotta break bread with the gods, that’s the law
If you wanna be a big rapper on tour — pause!
Jaws hit the floor, remember this rapport
Yet it’s never ever poor, it’s solid to the core
Like a rock up off the floor, put that in your pipe and light it
Ye, you know it’s raw
Ye, you know it’s raw like the Owls forevermore
Forever defiant, skinny frame giant
Always lean, going 'round corners, like Robin Reliants
She sells sea shells, but I don’t buy 'em
But for sure The Owls strike while they’re still mining the iron from the
underground
From Glastonbury streets to London town, send a jolt from the sky to your heart
like a thundercloud
Wonder how we make it look so effortless in front of crowds?
Couldn’t swallow my pride, then got high and just munched it down
Little skater, baggy jeans and flavoured papers for the grade that was probably
underweighing
Drum and bass raver, chewing degree we majored
Few pissed off faces, but bet by now they forgave us
But that’s just how it is, answering back since we were little kids
And I guess now that’s what my profession is
So that’s an 'I told you so' to the doubters
A shout to everyone that’s kept faith or has found us
I don’t take 'no' for an answer
Take no shit
I spit quotes, you take notice
I refuse to lose, you will not see me fold
We are not the same as we were, see, we evolve
The stubborn Capricorn swifter than a matador
Listen to me, I can lead the blind like a labrador
At the door like a courier, let him in
I am not leaving, hard head, leather skin
Defiant to the last, it’s the piper in the dark
Never stopped, since the cyphers in the park
Can’t tell me anything after my mind’s made
When I say this shit, you say high grade
Lie awake all night, man on some other shit
I refuse to sleep, I know who his cousin is
Stubborn as a mule, since a grubby little fool
Godly with the spit, since a spotty little kid
That refused to eat salad, looped the beat banging in my headphones
Now I roam through the dead zone
God damn, is that too much for your head holmes?
I repeat, I will not lose
(Yo, Let’s go, Let’s go!)
The half-pissed, arsonists like to bust
People never mind this like the caves on Mars
The time is ours, son, backing to go and purposely go find one
Under the surface, willing to work, this my mind spun
From too many drugs, Leaf getting gripped by too many slugs
Throw salt in the wound and tell me it’s love
Maybe it was, it’s hard to tell nowadays
Change my name to Alpha like the game is what my mouth plays
Keeping Jim Mason similar ways on this escapade
We was just pressing 'play' to tear it down the stage today
It’s hard for them to pave the way, they want it for them self
But I love competition, feel it’s better for my health
Learn from my opposition, forever moving like repetition
Double vision, 48 hour tripping, The Leaf’s missing
Beat skipping, still spitting, freestyling, not written
Clock your position, like missiles flying through the sky spinning
