[Intro: DJ Premier]
Yeah. DJ Premier.  Back again.  Ready to do the damn thing like I always do, you heard? This time, we’re going overseas. Four brothers better known as The Four Owls. I think you better think twice about this one. Let’s go

[Hook: Samples with Scratches by DJ Premier]
“Think twice before you step in my lane” - Sample from A.L. (All Lyrics) on House of Repz - “U Gotta Love Us”
“Catch these bars. You know I play her like a sport (Hah!)” - Sample from Obie Trice on Obie Trice ft. Redman, Lloyd Banks, Jadakiss, and Nate Dogg - “The Set Up (Remix)”

[Verse 1: Leaf Dog]
See me on the track masked up like I’m robbing trains
Think twice like a Siamese with a double brain
Flying for a minute, now you’re gone like the missing plane
Waiting 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’re married 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 good Leaf like sativa
Could 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. Preem
Chopping up your ear like Mark “Brandon” Read
Let’s go, son!

[Verse 2: Fliptrix]
I grab the microphone and I’m causing the pandemonium
Practically supernatural, capture you like opium
You have to take notes before you could dream of folding him
Understand that sentence or turn into custodial
With 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 déjà vu. They live
The life as you before your birth—that’s absurd!
(What?) 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]
Yo, they can’t get near, but making sure they catch me
Premier production never reproduct factories
Never see us fall off like bad leaves, but bad seeds
Will grow and give emcees 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 warping, taking bids
In the room full of rich pricks like an auction. We hammer
Down independent, we never lived in glamour
Town, swing my crown 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 rhyming 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’re underground—you wanna feel this? You have to dig it

[Verse 4: Verb T]
Anything that come this way bound to ricochet
Praying on my downfall? Nah, you best think again
Make the right decision, apply the wisdom
‘Ever on the rise like the price of living
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, sitting, trying to 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 doing lines of coke
After hate, all that’s left is pain
So best think twice about yesterday. We say
“Yes” today and not tomorrow ‘cause the aim is
To set the pace, not to follow. The Owls!
