Life in the Balance Songtext
von The Four Owls feat. Jam Baxter

Like a leaf clings to a tree.

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.


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'.

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.

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.


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.

Back to chorus x2 (Verb T)

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.

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.
