Who's the man the myth of stature omnipresent Heats bars like a blacksmith and battles oppression The legend, inspiring yarns without fail Rhyming over beats like I'm Alan-a-Dale Man it's Locksley, but my friends call me Robin Hood Fought the law for the sake of the common good With Little John, Will Scarlet, and Marian And seven score more with a blow of a clarion I'm carrying away many a vault upon payday Plunder under cover from Michaelmas to May Day The Major Oak's where I'm often seen But rappers can't see me like I'm clad in Lincoln green The wolf's-head-led inveterate meddlers Spit sick like the end of "Robin Hood and the Pedlars" At tournaments splittin arrows like cold fission Coalitions Mound-dweller assassin missions Longbows, crossbows, staves and glaives Sword and axe on tax caravan raids And twin blades like we brought Nasir Lettin every foe know that the gang was here See, overindulgence is bad for your health So I rob from the rich and redistribute their wealth No one's impervious, I see you getting nervous I'm dunkin on suckers like Friar Tuck's ferry service But don't worry, but you can buy safe passage For a small donation to the huddling masses Impassive, laughter from the Greenwood lingers Kiss your lady's hand take the rings from her fingers So eat some boar with us cuz if you go to war with us You'll need those remedies of Joseph of Cordoba's See many tried, but I left em all moanin And groanin bad omens of the yeoman bowman I'm the hooded man hanging with Herne and turned liminal Turned criminal to burgle your citadel And did it well, nary a trace left behind me Think you can brave the Greenwood come find me Remind me, who defined the twelth century To stand against greed, corruption, and lechery Lemme see, I can fill in the gaps It's a guy in green tights and a bycocket hat Unlocked that, you hear picks click in your locks Nevermind that, it's just Rob robbin your strongbox Outfoxed like its 1973 The song of the woodland set me free To fight the power ctil the fields lie fallow And leave French pirates floatin in the shallows While the Mound Folk watch from the shadows Sharpshoot Stutely's noose from the gallows And you follow, we're no common brigands We're puttin the Merrie back in Olde England Bringin old growth flow like a bonsai Spittin clothyard shafts through the bullseye

about

A compilation of previously unreleased tracks, including my first ever attempt at dungeon synth ("Dulled Knighthood") some experiments with different styles, instruments, and production techniques, and the long-awaited (???) return of MC Bookwyrm on "Rappin' Hood"
