Timeless
T.D.X. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Told them I need all my rings like Phil Jackson
They feel Ive gone too far, well happened?
I told them wait on my reaction
Timeless, this shit is timeless
Busy doing work
I don't even know what time is
Timeless, this shit is timeless
I don't even know what time is
Fit ain't right if it don't say Lo
I killed the whole scene
Put a tag on the toe
Say she ain't a bitch, but I know she a hoe
They want me stop but whole squad on go
Man I'm too cold let me thaw
Big dog, always in the fucking dog house
Man I'm, too cold, let me thaw out
They yelling, Cujo!
Big dog now
Dear Lord please protect me and my friends
I can see the end but I know they vision dim
Out here on a limb, where they charging both ya limbs
Just to make it to the end but I'm never on defense
Tell me again how they say chance slim
Dodging the Grim, cup filled up to the brim
We ain't them, they could never be us
Night owls who crew stay up
They foul, we shoot shit up
Skip trial we tooted up
If I'm going anywhere than its too far
So above par, thats why I'm the numerator
Translator, but they could never see the...
Its like they never hear me speak, but feel my actions
Told them I need all my rings like Phil Jackson
They feel Ive gone too far, well happened?
I told them wait on my reaction
Timeless, this shit is timeless
Busy doing work
I don't even know what time is
Timeless, this shit is timeless
Busy doing work
I don't even know what time is
In "Timeless" by T.D.X., the lyrics speak to a sense of self-confidence and determination. The first lines, "It's like they never hear me speak, but feel my actions / Told them I need all my rings like Phil Jackson" suggest that despite not being heard literally, T.D.X.'s actions speak for themselves and that he is working hard to achieve his goals. He then asks "they feel I've gone too far, we'll what happened?" as if to say that he knows he is going above and beyond, but that it is necessary to achieve greatness.
The chorus, "Timeless, this shit is timeless / Busy doing work / I don't even know what time is" embodies the theme of the song - T.D.X. is fully committed to working hard towards his goals and doesn't even have time to keep track of time. He goes on to mention his fashion sense, that if his outfit does not say "Lo" (short for Polo Ralph Lauren), it is not right for him. He also mentions putting a tag on the toe and knowing someone is a "hoe" despite them claiming otherwise.
He then mentions how his detractors want him to stop, but he and his squad are always ready to go, and that he is too much of a big dog to be kept in the dog house for too long. T.D.X,'s lyrics later refer to being on the offensive and risking it all for success, not worrying about the naysayers or doubters. The last lines are reflective of his self-confidence, knowing that he is doing what it takes to succeed.
