Life In The Balance Lyrics

Natures Greatest Mystery is the debut album from The Four Owls featuring some of the UK's most well known underground emcees featuring Leaf Dog, BVA, Fliptrix and Verb T. The Four Owls are possibly one of the UK's best super-groups and I can guarantee if you're a fan of their solo music, You'll love them as a group.

Natures Greatest Mystery has been entirely produced by Leaf Dog who in the last few years as progressed a lot as a producer, he's worked with Rass Kass, Cool G Rap, Canibus and many other large names in hip hop. The album features a total of 14 tracks featuring all of The Four Owls and also the odd feature with Dirty Dike, Jam Baxter and Q-Unique jumping on a few tracks.

The entire album is filled with Lyrical warfare at its finest, Original is an open letter to anyone who bites rhymes in the hip hop scene and reminds them it's about being original and pushing the boundaries of hip hop which makes you a great artist. All My Life features the group expressing their views on the money obsessed culture we live in, another track worth shouting out is Not Like Before featuring each rapper having a trip down memory lane and how they achieved the status they have individually in the UK hip hop scene today.

Life In The Balance by The Four Owls

Life In The Balance Lyrics

Year of Release: 2011
    • Like a leaf clings to a tree.
Leaf Dog
    • The world is well balanced like karma
    • Is, do you fight freedom
    • On the front line where the army is.
    • Or in your mind opening the left part of this.
    • I feel it inbetween my bones just like the cartiledge
    • When im partin' this world i wont be sad
    • the true gift was the blessin of life that ive had.
    • You can think that im mad. Oh leafs on some hippy shit
    • It took a lot of changes in me to consider it.
    • Inspired by an old ancient manuscript
    • The Mayans did predict, but can you handle it.
    • Its a sign of the times that's hidden in the lines
    • The description is what the indigenous define.
    • Asure as the sun wont shine, and the rain falling.
    • The balance is untold in this life we all in.
    • On this mysty morning, eyes on at one
    • With the things that smothered how ive done.
BVA
    • Looking at the bigger picture.
    • There'll always be people like hitler.
    • Im balancin' it out
    • Mother Teresa tryna fix the world
    • Then Ghandi making sure the scales dont tip.
    • Turn the darker side but thats to mix in lifes elixir.
    • Without bad theres no good, without wood theres no fire.
    • Without the hood the posh house price wouldnt be higher.
    • No stronger no weaker, no stupid no deeper
    • No dick dropping rubbish theres no work for street sweepers.
    • Without life there'd be no death.
    • And i dont stomp the pain
    • Just concentrate on the memories they left.
    • When im looking at the stars i realize
    • Im just a spec on the Earth's surface
    • I measure my worth by my intellect.
    • We've all got a purpose, some people got three.
    • Some people fall in line and others have got dreams.
    • We all do our best with the tools we were given
    • Shit my hammer and chisle is this life that im livin'.
Chorus
    • Life in the balance, scales of justice.
    • Reach for answers but failed to touch it.
    • My mind lost in this defined by my opposite.
    • Life in the balance, rise to the challenge.
Verb T
    • Eight steps away.
    • In fact flip that eight on its side
    • Because now I infinitly chase
    • For that intimate embrace with lady luck.
    • I mean fuck, how long can someone stay in the rut?
    • Im like no.
    • You see thats all on me, to re-evaluate my roles
    • And forget the green, but sometimes i think
    • Do i know myself and if not
    • Is that why i cant control myself.
    • I got a family man i should be responsible
    • Same time mind stakes held in a constable.
    • Thats why my girls always stressed hey
    • 'Cos i get under your skin like an X-Ray.
    • But lets pray that it change for the best
    • Deep breathe to the chest, now im ready for the next day.
    • Your in life with the next brain
    • Tryna be the opposite like a sex change
    • Focus head space.
Chorus
    • Life in the balance, scales of justice.
    • Reach for answers but failed to touch it.
    • My mind lost in this defined by my opposite.
    • Life in the balance, rise to the challenge.
Fliptrix
    • Its like im standin' on the moon staring at the world.
    • Tryna work out the balance of this life we hold.
    • Its all there is to be encrypted in the Mayan scrolls.
    • The cycle of the fifth sun is coming to a close.
    • Twenty-twelve will only truly show us what that holds
    • The plot thickens as i stand here to break the mold.
    • Got my hands out, tryin' not to feel the cold
    • But some people walkin' by are filled with an icy soul.
    • Tools by the side, you take your life for your friggin phone.
    • Others feel helpless, the selfless give a child a home.
    • Rich feed the rich while the others just apply for loans
    • Money buys everything but love does define this goal.
    • I gotta live fast and wont be dying barely old
    • Head holistic lifestyles reflect how i lives unfold.
    • Life is one big cycle like the vinyl spinnin' round it goes.
    • And it goes.
Jam Baxter
  • Equilibrium.
  • See a billion desperate apart
  • conjoined n' they defy brilliance.
  • Ground amphebians, submerged in slime
  • Emerging like blunt when blunt words collide.
  • The sun burnt his eyes, the ice sliced his feet to bits.
  • You aint gotta teach it shit.
  • 'Cos the change is instinctual, the pace is unthinkable
  • Never put your faith in a fake individual.
  • Balance.
  • From the fans n the mandibles n talents.
  • To menabols and battons to cannons.
  • To mechanical contraptions, fashioned out of passion
  • That could turn the Earth back into a burnt black chasm
  • Shit happens.
  • Atoms, bound by compassion.
  • To fractal patterns I saw spinnin
  • In my mind once, it all ties up.
  • If i could see a bright sky shine when my eyes shut.
