Earth's Essence

The Headshots "Compensation" Tape (Vol. 3) was the first in the series to include actual songs from the Headshots crew, rather than just live performances like the two previous tapes. "Compensation" featured three 4-Track recordings from ANT's basement studio, a.k.a The Factory, including Beyond's "Cash Is Expensive" and two Atmosphere songs; "Mathematics" and "Vowel Movement". 

We decided to share "Vowel Movement" in connection with our new YouTube video series, "A Moment In Rhymesayers", which is celebrating 20 Years of Rhymesayers history through exclusive interviews and rare footage from those that lived it.
Episode 3 of "A Moment In Rhymesayers" covers the first three Headshots Tapes; Vol. 1: "WBBOY Sessions", Vol. 2: "Arrogance" and Vol. 3: "Compensation". In this episode, ANT, Slug and Siddiq discuss what inspired the idea for the Headshots Tape series, as well as how each of those first three tapes began and developed.

Be sure to subscribe to the series on YouTube. In our next episode, we will focus on Headshots Tape Vol. 4: "History", which was dedicated to Sess (of The Abstract Pack), who passed away in 1996.

Lyrics
Verse 1
Back at it again
Vandal with the life span
Track's slapping again
Like Samuel and Diane
Damn, this shit is Cayenne
Cocky as Curtis Jackson
My body of work is canon
Like Samus with the right hand

You're fucking with the most savage of the Trilams
I'm showing 'em something mindblowing as Zapruder
As Smooth as Grand Puba rapping with the Sprite can
I stay a step ahead like the clapping of a white man

Y'all don't wanna cross swords
Drop it like an aux cord
That's something y'all ain't got the bollocks or the heart for
I shut 'em down like a modern mom and pop store
'Cause I'm doing damage you don't have an Otter Box for

Not even God or the Mighty Ducks could challenge
My style is 
Ill as the Buyers Club of Dallas
Page with the Diamond Cutter
To make you Steiner Brothers see why I'll survive through fire, blood, or ballots

Verse 2
I barely made it through my terrible twos
Drinking amniotic fluid in America's womb
Half man, half animal that stares at the moon
Son, I'm hotter than the bottom of a heroin spoon

Y'all so jelly I'm smooth as petroleum
The next one that they'll try to shoot at the podium
Shifty ass motherfuckers, you'd lick linoleum
Just to get a little bit of cubic zirconium

You want to shine, got to get that dough
My man's and them turn your face into tic tac toe
Got a lumberjack with an axe to match
Hack and slash, what the fuck I need a six pack for?

So watch how your chain reacts to the Saw treatment
And y'all see that faking jax gets you Betamaxed
But when the tape's elapsed, you're gonna need a doctor, a nurse, and security like Animaniacs
