'they're sharp and' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.

'left omens out' is the wordplay.
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'omens' anagrammed gives 'emons'.
'l'+'emons'='LEMONS'

'have' is the link.
