Track 4 from The Four Owl’s Nature’s Greatest Mystery. Sick track and not sure why we didn’t do the lyrics before. Actually, there are some terrible copies floating around the Internet, but ours are 99% there. A single line…
CHORUS:
- All my life
- All my life
- All my life
- Poor poor man
VERSE 1:
FLIPTRIX
- I see many people sufferin’
- Stuck in the gutter rummagin’
- Cluckin’ for something just to give the gut a little nourishment
- Stomach stays summonin' the hunter within
- Brought to surface, human beings forced to primal urges
- Trees that are blazed are sellin' for mega Ps
- Still money don’t grow on trees - assumin' its legal
- Keep plantin’ the seeds initiating the sequel
- To leave you, diggin' for the root of all evil
- They act like they real
- When really they be so see through
- They’re fishy with the skriller like a man be shiftin’ seafood
- It’s funny how things change berated for the people
- That’s the way they made it
- The money made us all equal
- I speak what I feel no reason to be deceitful
- Or bring war to your door
- Material possessions i ain’t into them at all
- 'Cos everything I truly love you never get receipts for
VERSE 2:
LEAF DOG
- We step in this game with no pennies to our names
- Why you acting like you’re rich?
- With a pocket full of change
- Life is a strain for the real people hustlin’
- It doesn’t add up, like paying desperate money jugglin'
- Wonderin' is this really part of the plan
- The peckin’ order of man
- By the bottom we stand
- To get rich and expand is the dream that they’re sellin' us
- Knowin’ we can’t do it but proceed to keep tellin' us
- Jimmy's on weed watch for too much tick
- So broke I’ll steal your whole mansion brick by brick
- Think quick, through the country I run
- With a load of fake names
- Making claims on your crisis loans
- All I really own is these words I was livin'
- Preserved in the rhythm for the future to listen
- The point I ain’t missin' 'cos I ain’t like you
- I never found peace without the wars I went through
CHORUS:
- All my life (All my life all my life)
- All my life (Yeah son)
- All my life (All my life all my life)
- I’ve been a poor, poor man.
- All my life (All my motherfuckin' life)
- All my life (All my life all my life)
- All my life (All my piss poor life)
- Poor, poor man.
VERSE 3:
VERB T
- Yo!
- Much on my mind - I don’t find it funny
- In the struggle with the leeches
- How you've gotta mind your money
- The little I’ve got
- They wanna take it from me
- I don’t praise the paper
- But man my family must eat.
- I’m not a crook but was gettin' money off the books
- Don’t remember where mister tax man I’m sorry look.
- I’m 'bout to go legit
- Tryin’ a start the music shit
- Maybe get a little nine to five if I ain’t makin' shit
- Maybe this is just irresponsible for a family man
- But in chunks music’s been puttin’ money in the bank
- So now I can’t do the free collab.
- But thanks for asking
- Oh now I’m an arsehole
- Deep in the overdraft that makes me past broke
- It’s only money
- Dont say that you can’t cope
- I say that makes a lot of other things hard though
- Verbs, yes I rip flows better show me the dough
VERSE 4:
BVA MC
- I’m not piss poor
- I’m not shit rich
- Money’s a bitch it turns kids into fucking dicks
- In my life I’ve learnt that life's on some other shit
- Feelin' like an alien that’s comin' from the mothership
- I spit my own gold bars and print my own notes
- In my rhyme pad
- Drop me in shit’s creek and I will float
- I’ve always been a sort of level headed kind of bloke
- That works hard to get the shit I want for that rhyme I wrote
- The test of time will be the one that’s really showing
- Get enough R.E.S.P.E.C.T to keep me flowing
- My bankroll ain’t growin’
- It’s shrinking without me knowing
- I could be going mental but I did this for me
- And all I need is a pencil and intsrumentals
- And get the track cracking like some earthquake events do
- The papers what breaks us and makes it look gloomy
- And I tell it how it is but most would think I’m a looney

Great nice. Thanks for the mostly correct lyrics.
I believe Leafs verse that you’re missing is “Jimmies on weed watch for too much tik”
Also the Chrous is “my piss poor life” not “my blissful life”
Cheers man. Looks decent. Updated the lyrics.
