Reflections
Mystik Journeymen feat. Aceyalone Lyrics

Reflections
Thinking about past mistakes and reflecting on life

Think about the present and the past times
Remembering both present and past experiences

Reflect on your life and the bad times
Contemplating negative aspects of one's life

Think about the crazy and the strange shit
Pondering odd and unusual experiences

Then dig within inside and try to change shit
Looking inward for ways to improve one's life

Reflect your mind
Thinking deeply about one's thoughts and emotions

Reflect through time
Contemplating experiences and emotions from the past

My relation to these words spoken over beats leaps to and fro
Personal interpretation of the lyrics while listening to the music

All around, bound the energy in miles
Feeling surrounded by energy and emotion

Piles up towards the sky
Over time, thoughts and experiences accumulate

High quantity of thoughts
Having many thoughts, emotions, and experiences to reflect on

Reflect the truth, sold another brother on the watch
Reflecting on being truthful and honest, while watching out for others

On the clock of life, the mirror view
Life is a journey, and reflecting on it is like looking in a mirror

The clearest of reflection
Reflecting in a way that is honest and clear

Inspection of the lie that lies deep behind the stressin'
Examining the falsehoods that cause stress and anxiety

And it's pressing me like time
Stress and anxiety can feel urgent and pressing

Rhymes is just illusions
Lyrics and poetry can sometimes deceive or create false impressions

A world in confusion
The world can be overwhelming and confusing

A dream of revolution
Hoping for change and improvement in the world

These reflections like mine in the puddle of life
Reflecting on life experiences, like seeing one's reflection in a puddle

Skip rocks, waves making ripple effects
Small actions can have large consequences

Situations etched, lessons in stone tablets
Experiences teach us valuable lessons that are remembered over time

For the reference to the habit
Reflecting on past habits to avoid repeating them

Forming addictions to the memories of past shit
Holding onto the past can become addictive and unhealthy

I let go, it comes back
Moving on from the past can be difficult, and it may resurface over time

Boomerang behavior runs common in the obstacles
Negative patterns can repeat themselves if not addressed

I wanna shake my coat tails
Trying to let go of past mistakes or difficulties

They follow on the missions of my failure
Feeling like past failure is holding one back

Bring me down, crush me
Reflecting on negative influences or experiences that have had a harmful impact

Reflections can be beautiful, but most the time they rush me
Reflecting on life can be positive and beautiful, but overwhelming emotions can also arise

And in an instance you see the mirror image looking at you
Seeing oneself in a reflective state

Looks just like you, got you eyes, and you whole disguise
Reflecting on one's own image and identity

Reflections, he seen his image in the lake
Reflecting on one's own image within nature

Reflected on the grass roots which harbors all the snakes
Reflecting on the hidden dangers and negativity in life

Otherwise known as a snake pit
Referring to a dangerous, negative environment

Remember the python on you ankle and all that fake shit?
Reflecting on past dangers and false situations

Remember when the cake was lit, and the wind blew it out?
Remembering past moments of disappointment

Before you could taste the cream, they sliced it up and threw it out
Reflecting on situations where others have taken advantage or interfered negatively

I recollect, I think back in retrospect
Reflecting on past memories or experiences

I reflect and connect my memories
Reflecting on past memories in order to understand oneself better

Remember these good times and these hard times
Reflecting on both positive and negative experiences

But it's like that, and that's the way it is
Accepting reality as it is

And that's the way it was, but that ain't how it gottabe
Reflecting on past experiences and imagining a different future

Reflect your mind, it works every time
Encouraging reflection as a helpful practice

Cuz if I knew then what I knew now, I'd be doin' fine
Reflecting on past mistakes and how to avoid them in the present

Reflect though time...
Encouraging reflection on one's past experiences

I peep when I meet people, evil or positive
Being observant and reflective when meeting new people

We live in the middle, lost within the riddle
Feeling confused and uncertain in life

On God's reflection I stand, within an intersection of life lost
Finding guidance in faith while feeling lost in life

Double crossed by man, we stand ignorant
Feeling deceived by others while lacking knowledge or understanding

False prophet, gothic, prehistoric logic mixed our minds
Negative influences combined with illogical or outdated beliefs can be harmful

Reflectin' signs of anger, reflection banger, reflection slanger
Reflecting on negative emotions like anger, frustration, and violence

Reflection bombing hangars of 747's
Reflecting on violence and destruction

Strangers wanna blow this shit to heaven
Feeling threatened by those who seek destruction

Reflection war, reflectin' poor, reflectin' Cold War
Reflecting on past conflicts and negative situations

Reflectin' old multiple metal jacket tactics
Reflecting on past violent or aggressive behavior

You might see Murs reflectin' curse
Reflecting on negative emotions or past hurts

Reflectin' hurts, you's a bitch in a male skirt
Reflecting on hurtful experiences or insults

If you don't work to change your world, reflectin' hurls
If you don't work to improve your life, negative emotions and experiences will continue

In life with wisdom, beyond "blaow! blaow!"
Reflecting on life's lessons and experiences with intelligence and wisdom

Fake headwrapped female visions
Negative or false beliefs about women

We used to be in love with Duran Duran in '95
Reflecting on past trends or cultural interests

I got a condo in the white part of town
Reflecting on racial privilege and disparity

Change your name to Shanunu Brown, used to be Mary Tibbles
Reflecting on the ability to reinvent oneself and change one's identity

Reflect your mind before you get lost in the riddle
The importance of reflecting on one's thoughts and experiences before becoming overwhelmed or uncertain

We wear our reflectors when we move though your sector
Using reflection as a way of navigating unfamiliar territory

Rollin' with the protector
Being protective of oneself in new or dangerous situations

So, we're visiable; indivisible
Reflecting on individuality while acknowledging the interconnectedness of all beings
