Recapturing The Vibe
Hilltop Hoods Lyrics

Pressure (x6)
Introducing the next chapter with a high-pressure atmosphere

It's the next chapter, where's all my head at?
Asking where everyone's focus is in this new chapter

You slept at the fact that we crept back to,
You missed the fact that we snuck back in

Set factors straight, the only dead rappers,
We're clarifying things, and the only rappers who are dead are those with no credibility

Are penned at the papes of no cred actors,
The fake actors who don't have any credit get written off

Those haters, no you don't phase us,
Haters don't affect us in any way

'cause you don't know shit so, you're on a need to know basis,
You're not informed enough, so we'll only tell you what you need to know

And those gracious folk with no status,
Those kind people who have no social status

I made this flow for you, no your own name is,
This flow is made for you, without even knowing your name

Not a part of the bigger picture, listen it's the,
You're not a significant part of the bigger picture, listen closely to understand

Middle finger that you put up in a fist yeah,
You flipping the bird (middle finger) to someone

Life's a bitch and it'll hit you,
Life can be tough and it can hurt

If I could pimp women like I do words I'd be living a little richer,
If I could use words like I use women (in a derogatory way) I would be wealthier

Hip Hop's a circus act this is absurd but fact,
Hip Hop is a crazy show, a ridiculous but true statement

One critic or cynic for every that learned to rap,
There is always one critic or cynic for every person who learns to rap

One lyric with gimmick for every with purpose that,
One song with a gimmick for every song with a purpose

Furthered rap culture round the earth and back,
Rap culture spreads worldwide

But some diss but when I'm up in your face,
Some may criticize, but won't say anything when confronted

You're a man of your word; you got nothing to say,
You said you'd stay silent, and you did

I got respect for the scene and love for the place,
Respect and love for the music scene and location

Where I bled for my dreams and struggled for change,
This is where I fought and sacrificed for my dreams and for progress

We're still striving on, were still alive and strong,
We're still pushing forward, still alive and strong

Right or wrong I'd still kill for where I belong,
No matter what, I will still do anything for my community

Insightful on the real deal when I write a song,
When I write a song, it's honest and deep

Question, you still feel the vibe I'm on?
Asking if the listener can still relate to the mood I'm putting out

I had the whole crowd like, oh shit, that's right I said it,
I had the whole crowd's attention and made a bold statement

I'll be like, da, da, da, da, roll like the credits,
I'll finish strong, like how credits roll at the end of a movie

Two of the best to ever edit poetics,
We are two of the best at crafting poetry

It be the three headed beast from Obese come to set it,
We are the three-headed beast from Obese Records, here to lay things down

Off, Hilltop in the place, sir just calm down,
We're here to perform, so please calm down

Spit fire on stage and burn your bar down,
We'll put on a fiery performance and leave you in awe

You hear it bumping in clubs you turn your car round,
Our music is so good, you'll turn your car around to listen

You hear it pumping in pubs you buy the bar a round,
Our music is so good, you'll buy the bar a round of drinks

Pump it up in your car; turn your car into a club,
Our music can turn your car into a party

Smash through the wall of a pub and burn the bar down,
Our music is so intense, it could make someone want to crash through a wall and have a wild time

Just burn the bar down, like a disco inferno,
We're just having fun and enjoying the music like a disco inferno

MCs aren't the only thing we burn though,
We don't just destroy MCs in rap battles, we can destroy anything with our music

I'm the arsonist like Rakim is,
I'm like an arsonist, setting things on fire with my music, like how Rakim did

So ask your kids who the number one artist is,
My music is so good, kids will know who the best artist is

Obese got the mad fucking roster while,
Obese Records has an amazing list of artists

Your crew couldn't even house a foster child,
Your crew can't even support a foster child

You're flamboyant like Oscar Wilde, I got to smile,
You're showy and extravagant like Oscar Wilde, which makes me smile

When you panic on stage like you lost a child,
When you get nervous on stage, it's like you've lost a child

Where's Benny? Benny's across the road watching Hilltop,
Benny is across the road, watching and admiring Hilltop Hoods

'cause they got the flow the hills have still got,
Hilltop has maintained their amazing flow

The skills, the beats to get nice on,
Our skills and beats can get anyone in a good mood

Don't need drugs, I get a buzz when the mics on,
I don't need drugs to feel good, performing on a mic is enough for me

So hit the floods suffa like it with the lights on,
Let's turn up the energy like a flood, with the lights shining bright

Hilltop, we're what's left when the vibe's gone.
When the energy fades and people start to leave, Hilltop is still here, keeping the vibe alive
