Fliptrix - Reflections lyrics
rate meFt. The Four Owls
(Intro)
Tears in your mind's eye
Reflection of your ...
(Verse: The Four Owls)
Ya, chillin' in the foreign corner, tryna find a court up
Fools ripper like reflections in the water
Represent the tip of the flood, but fuck law and order
The mind taught you in time what I enforce, yeah
Time to slide from a Porsche into a Corsa
And I ain't even goin' like a broke heart and try to stool ya
If they fool ya, I ain't here to school ya
Just listen, no fees failed to mention, no tricks, no magician
On the mission with a bitch that looks like an Egyptian
Spit non-fiction and sell us, we ain't mixin'
With all kinda buff from the mount of Excalibur
Break yo sound's limit like pushin' the speed barrier
I have to laugh at you, you're scared of the past
Not the few crumbs in the hourglass for the final dash
Me? I'm tryna get yo granddad's final stash
The work weigh, I'll show you who is king when time has passed
(Verse 2: Fliptrix)
A bag of regrets, a baggy of achievements
I'll take a pinch of each and work the fuck off for an evening
I'm just act the seasoning, so I'm well pushin' for a reason
Cuz we just believed in theis way of speakin'
Could it been a dick or been a hero
It's just a ? casino ? with deniro
The people started placin' bets on my gang of weirdos
And lookin' back, you'll see I run it, so come fuckin' near tho
Keep it deep from where the beard grows (?)
? wants his people substance abusing
Some good, some fucking useless
Keep it off the street and zoo it
Ship was sometimes stupid, heads or tails son did spook it
Get out the door, record for heads and put it all on music
And never note the heartbreaker until you've been a part taker
Play the game, cool heart shaker, more points but yo heart fix her
And lookin' back I'm just a king that's got yo slackers
Puttin' glass on the mat, if you like hip-hop then you'll raps
(Verse 3: The Four Owls)
I believed in my dreams and I always had a plan
Got regrets tryna rearrange em like an anagram
Bulletproof love to all the fams that always had my back
Now my kid's a part reflection of the man I am
They got their own path and don't need to follow mine
Anything they need, tho, I always got the time
Life is how you spend time and how you feed yo mind
Life is who you inspire them, what you leave behind
On reflection is easier to see the light
Times when you're in the moment and you can't read the signs
Times, you need the time to heal your mind
Redesign past thoughts, see what you feel inside
The freedom of youth, the wisdom of age
I spend about half my life puttin' things on the page
Sit and analyse and plus maybe fantasizin'
Driftin' and I'm feelin' like my hand is guidin'
(Verse 4: Fliptrix)
Memories is so spectacular, reflectin' on the past
Yet we can't bring it back for ya
Fashion mind a change but the music stays classic
No synths, no laser, no awe or ginger straight bangers
You can't teach an old dog new tricks
We get the green, pick up the leaves
Flip the skin and roll it backwards
Take a breath like an asthmatic
Then pop the flames off like you're volcanic
Neva gettin' no reaction like a bolt magnet
Cuts be crazy when we rap like be holdin' cabinet
Back in the day I got the bricks in jam get in the club
With a fake ID, hit the automat and fuckin' smash it
Now I'm tourin' round the world, markin' off the at list
Soon to take a shit galactic
Receiving what I wish, the future stays attractive
Walkin' down the ? with a box of matches
You might not like to do that, frankly man, I find it magic
Got caught vandalizin' trains, couldn't stop the habit
