reflections in time - odd eli lyrics

[verse 1: eli a.]
trying to be one of the best men was stressing me out
no more quest for perfection, i took another route
some would say south, or east of eden
and the god that i believed in
forsaking all his teaching
reaching for the regular
sold on the secular
the world was my peddler so
i was cashed out, taking the fast route
to fulfill my p-ssion
and yo
the lens of the l-st enraptured us , we the p-ssengers, short ride
came to build & chill then it time to say goodbye
went from being a shy guy to thinking i was fly
boy how time flies when we a living a lie

i think back to the days of shrink wrap
i think i miss the bliss of when everything was new
when my body i viewed as sacred
and women’s hearts, as not to be played with
i think it time, to back to the basics
cuz every since the age of 26
i laid down my good two shoes
and i laced up my asics
running away the path i came from
became a lame one, chasing these dames-dumb
i was cuz the best ones, i treated the worst
wish could go back in time and swing that in reserved
cuz they didn’t deserve to be kicked to the curb
and my words, became sweet nothings
full deck of cards but i was bluffing
and i can’t blame the fiery flames and darts of cupid
when the truth is i acted dumb and foolish

[hook: k-nes]
young men, life’s in front of you
search and find your truth
life is in your eyes

they’ll be relationships anew
today’s love and tomorrow’s blues
mistakes and triumphs too
reflections in time

[verse 2: odd insyte]
i don’t usually dwell on the what ifs
but what if one of them chicks i played was actually it
what i mean by it i’m meaning the one
to change the game take the last name and give me a son
see i was living dumb and outta control
theme song big pun i ain’t a playa so u know
on parole fresh out how i was fiending for tail
took all respect out when dealin wit females
cuz differently committing always seemed like jail
always cell phone searching and sifting through email
losing patience interrogation of every detail
but the basics of relationships i just couldn’t learn
can’t trust me, i’m l-sting every woman with curves
deception with words never fessing up to the dirt
a lesson to learn but it never quite affected my nerves
no heart, no conscience confessions of a jerk

[verse 3: odd insyte & eli. a]

so i’m here waiting on karma to come around
suffer from insomnia i’m longing for the sound
of redemption the crown of honor far from my possession
voluntary years of solitary made me pause for reflection
i was losing the battle but the lesson unraveled
like scrabble i put the letters together, l-o-v-e
god first, others second and the last is me
but i had it ordered backwards like some blasphemy
tragically the love of self gave birth to b-st-rds
but its mind over matter
no longer the slave but the master
i pray the answer today it isn’t too late

what route will i take?
the crooked or straight & narrow
eyes on backside & thighs or up on the sparrow
bound by the soul ties, i know i
get let go. off purpose
fed on good meet and now we feening off the surface
is it worth is the question to examine
feasting for flesh & stuck in spiritual famine
lost my p-ssion like samson
when i joined the bandwagon
formed and fashioned to a pattern
that was not me, tried to rock my old clothes
but they fit differently
now i wait for time to change us is dangerous
ends like a sick trip, call it angel dust
cause we high then we low
but how long can we go
chasing tails when we fail to realize
that our lives are but a vapor

[hook: k-nes]

young men, life’s in front of you
search and find your truth
life is in your eyes

they’ll be relationships anew
today’s love and tomorrow’s blues
mistakes and triumphs too
reflections in time

ooh reflecting on the times
i’m reflecting on these times
