Idle Eyes (Kurt Skrt & Tim Lane)

Thanks for listening! Me and Tim both put a lot of work and passion into this song. Remember, where you put your focus will determine the type of person you become.

 

The beat was produced by me (Kurt Skrt).

 

The lyric video was made by Tim Lane.

 

Verse 1 (Kurt Skrt):

 

Yeah…

 

Everyone has a past, but not everyone can adapt to get past it.

Havin a change so drastic,

you wouldn’t think they’re the same person after it.

 

Now caption this,

your mind is your own, that’s a fact

and you’re the only one who can fully master it.

 

Listen, as for the visions in your head.

Written pencil lead can truly capture it.

Get after it.

 

I remember when I didn’t live like this.

Zoomin into college while in a crisis.

Confused and I’m trapped, like in a fight pit.

Now I’m movin down a path that is righteous.

 

Developing work ethic.

Never ending motion, constantly kinetic.

Setting goals, told myself this time you will get it.

Get control of your life or you might regret it. Uh.

 

Hook 1 (Kurt Skrt):

 

These idle eyes won't last forever.

This childish mind will pass, like the weather.

Through all my endeavors these idle eyes won't keep me sheltered.

It's time I search for a path that leads to a place much better.

 

Verse 2 (Tim Lane):

 

Is it me? Nah it can't be.

Got a human being feeling hella empty.

Cause I don't got this and I don't got that.

And I can't do this and I can't do that.

 

And the people that I idolize always try to tempt me to spend my cash on a fancy car.

Gotta have this and that to be amongst the stars.

Gotta play the part.

 

Bump that Ima take charge.

Kurt Skrt got me looking for some great bars.

Here you go fam.

 

No longer idle eyes, cause my throttle's pressed,

getting stronger being careful who I idolize just doing my best.

Separation from people doing less.

Learning to confess my own flaws along with yalls.

 

Hook 2:

 

These idle eyes won't last forever.

This childish mind will pass, like the weather.

Through all my endeavors these idle eyes won't keep me sheltered.

It's time I search for a path that leads to a place much better.

 

Verse 3 (Kurt Skrt & Tim Lane):

 

(Kurt Skrt)

Yo Tim, when you quote any flows don’t ya know that you're givin life through your art work?

So really don't even worry about the people who doubtin you or don’t believe in your hard work.

Haters come and go, like the snow in winter, but what we sow is what grows like a seed on our Earth.

Embrace every season God got you in for reasons to feed in to truly fulfill what you are worth.

 

(Tim Lane)

Yo Kurt, little bit of life advice.

Before making big decisions you might think twice.

 

Cause unlike on the mic, in real life.

Second chances are fairly rare we,

gotta make it over our obstacles, no ferry (fairy).

 

Can't topple, no can't fall.

Although the seasons vary.

Just gotta shine like the summertime.

 

(Kurt Skrt)

But can’t get too distracted by the meaningless things out of habit.

Because as a kid I too have acted in a way my routine was subtracted.

 

(Tim Lane)

True, but the fact is.

Summer nights with the fam is magic.

Therapy it lifts the mind to a different bracket,

then get back to being systematic.

 

(Kurt Skrt)

I think I understand whatchu mean,

life isn’t just about what we plan to achieve.

 

(Tim Lane)

Exactly, balance is key.

We make mistakes, but we live and learn to find the recipe.

 

(Kurt Skrt)

I agree, mentally we should tend to be way less carefree on what we watch and see.

 

(Tim Lane)

Let the negativity escape you.

Let the positivity embrace you.

 

Hook 3:

 

These idle eyes won't last forever.

This childish mind will pass, like the weather.

Through all my endeavors these idle eyes won't keep me sheltered.

It's time I search for a path that leads to a place much better.
