Reynard Lewis - Lifetime Lyrics

In this lifetime, in this lifetime
Yo
Sip of iced tea with hesitation
Debate about this pack of skittles could cause an escalation
Exasperating through madness really tests patience
Leaves the the mind racing
But listen
Lose attention to the world's dimensions and one's opinions
The flesh is tempting, these are the world's symptoms
Either breakaway or pave the way
Still can't escape, this leaves me wide awake
I try and shake these bad habits as we inch closer to Judgment Day
Ever get tired of stating the obvious
Well, just imagine God's tolerance
Rust plays a factor when the tools aren't polished yet
The following was accepted way before the offering
The glitz and glamour was costing them
They didn't realize their soul was on full display at the auctioning
They didn't realize their soul was on full display at the auctioning
In this lifetime, in this lifetime
With this little light of mine
I'ma let it shine, I'ma let it shine
What is vision if it ain't assisted
My selfish past almost led me different
That selfless act really raised my spirits
Maturity helped to embrace lyrics, can you feel this
Dig deep as I uncover roots
Show tenacity at high pursuit
Real struggle was when lunch came Top Ramen was all we knew
Hot dogs with plain bread, lunch meat with the sandwich spread
Humbled, we stepped with bowed heads
Another child fled from a crime that could've been prevented
Murder etched in stone, a body laid stiffened
A witness, failure to cooperate just made a difference
But I guess it's their decision
Seems we all have impaired vision, when it ain't convenient
Never knew strength until I faced my demons
Never knew strength until I faced my demons
Or so it seems, or so it seems
In this lifetime, in this lifetime
With this little light of mine
I'ma let it shine, I'ma let it shine
Never create bad blood with the hand that feeds you
Cause you need him more than he needs you
You never know what he's going through at the same time
That's why you gotta allow your little light to shine
Because... in this paradigm, it can easily shift
And if we ain't confident enough well, well we can easily drift
Off our own journey, into someone else lane cause... cause... cause
In this lifetime, in this lifetime
Let yo light shine, let yo light shine
Never let somebody else dim your light
Cause in this lifetime, yeah in this lifetime
You only have one light that shines
And that's you
