Reminiscence Lyrics

Told 'em "Sit the fuck down!" They ain't listen though

Used to hit the liquor store for a fifth and go

Back to the crib and smoke Blacks while we spittin' flows

Me and Will would go half on some Michelob

Split a six pack, chit chat about business goals

Had big plans but our paths split on different roads

This ain't a diss track, no subliminals

But I look back and just laugh at the shit you wrote

Too nice to say it's wack or it isn't dope

Guess that's the price you pay to deliver hope

No need to fix it if it isn't broke

I don't even miss it or wish that you were still my bro

None these clowns loyal, kissin' ass just to get some doe

Crown Royal in the glass, I would sip it slow

Always neat, no rocks, never mixed with Coke

Always weed, no rocks, never did the coke

Different strokes, I've been told I'm a misanthrope

'Cause they cherry pick the quotes that the kid has spoke

Used to keep a Swisher rolled when we hit the road

Now it means somethin' different if you get the smoke

Everything that glitters really isn't gold

Grabbed the bull by the horns and I slit his throat

Maestro set me up for the pick and roll

And I took it to the hole with the wrist control

I've been known to mix the flow with some poignancy

I'm just tryin' to stay afloat, no buoyancy

Most the people that I've known disappointed me

I don't know why my foes wanna toy with me

I'm from the era of Kangols and shell toes

My bro used to slang dope, it was well known

Hell no, we ain't tell, fuck 12 though

Only way we came close is if hell froze

Have you ever been high but you felt low?

Reminiscing on the times we would tell jokes

We used to stick together like some velcro

He was like 17, I was 12 though

Never thought he'd switch lanes, but he's bitch made

Used to pack the switchblade back in the sixth grade

High school, me and JIN droppin' mixtapes

And we used every gig of the disc space

Taught myself how to ride a bike

And I taught myself how to write a rhyme

How to stay on beat and how to count bars

Never really had a sound till we found ours

Had that sloppy flow, I thought it was dope

Switched it to Ras Kass from that Prodigy flow

Used to rap fast, now it's probably slow

Had to try it all if I wanted to grow

You don't wanna provoke me, don't want any smoke

You don't wanna approach, have the squad at ya throat

This is ominous prose meant to caution my foes

Flip it all into gold, the Philosopher's Stone

Never really had friends in my whole life

No one to depend on in go time

They turn to enemies and to lowlifes

They lie and deceive, I don't know why

We didn't have heat on them cold nights

Nothin' to eat and no lights

Broke tryin' to survive a slow grind

An eye for an eye leaves us both blind

Listen, I'm just reminiscing

Friend or foe, it's hard to tell the difference

You never know when you gon' catch 'em slippin'

They only help if it benefits 'em

Note to self, they been pennin' fiction

Alone in my cell in this mental prison

I know this hell is self-inflicted

I'm tryin' my best to pretend it isn't

You won't see the revolution on the television

This the sickest evolution that you've ever witnessed

I tried to tell 'em but they never listen

This is how you turn men to villains

This is how you turn men to villains
