Think Twice - The Four Owls, DJ Premier

Yeah!

DJ Premier!

Back again!

Ready to do the damn thing!

Like I always do, yer!

This time, we’re goin' overseas!

Four brothers better known as The Four Owls!

I think you better think twice about this one!

Let’s go!

«Think twice before you step in my lane!»

«Catch these bars, you know I’m playin' like a sport!»

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 missing plane

Waitin' on my lines like a sub that can’t play the game

Thoughts out, the same teeth break when they bite this

Disarm your style, chop the hand off you write with

They got more issues than The Source Magazine

Claim they marry to the game but get divorced by the scene

People will only think again if they have to

Like a nose job feeling the pain for face value

Don’t let it cloud you, learn to take a breather

You know you got it covered with a Leaf like sativa

Can make your bars a little more fresh like prison cleaners

Welcome to the premier, live from new arenas right here

So I leave with the legacy proceeds

Prem chopping up your ear like Mark Brandon Read

Let’s go, son!

I grab the microphone and I’m causin' the pandemonium

Practically supernatural, capture you like opium

You have to take notes before you could dream a fold in ‘em

Understand the sentence or turn into custodial

Bars so fly they go over your head like bird’s eye view

So you need to think twice about the words I use

They’re confusing like doppelgangers in a parallel universe having deja-vu

They live the life as you before your birth

That’s absurd!

I’m cruisin' like hang gliders

Makin' 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 is something priceless

Trust you can’t buy this!

Come to make decisions, the ones you take will define ya!

Yo!

They can’t get near but make it sure they catch me

Premier production never reproduct factories

Never see us fall off like bad leaves

But bad seeds will grow and give MC’s bad dreams

The face reads take caution, rain fire like the four horseman

We cut ‘em off before their first breath like an abortion

Like a vinyl see a fake star warpin'

Takin' bids in the room full of rich pricks like an auction

We hammer down independent, we never lived in glamour town

Swim a gram around, punch sound for sound

Use the power like aikido

Shit, man, I 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 ‘bout the realness I had to spit it

We underground, you wanna feel this you have to dig it

Anything that come this way bound to ricochet

Prayin' on my downfall, now you best think again

Make the right decision, apply 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, though?

He’s so scandalous just landed at Heathrow

Heads still flying, oh, magic rap Dinamo

Some died of old age, sittin', try to blow up

But I chase dreams so I won’t die in hope

I try ‘n' 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

‘cause the aim is to set the pace not to follow

The Owls!
