[ Intro: ViBE ]
(I reminisce, I reminisce)
(I reminisce, I reminisce)
When I reminisce over you
When I reminisce
When I reminisce over you my, God
Get out of the past
[ Verse 1: ViBE ]
These n***as know I run the show
They can't walk in my shoes
There ain't no lighters up
Match.com give them boos
She play my flute
So I tend to win and they tend to lose
The masses apply pressure to rock ice like when you mend a bruise
But I don't need the jewels
Cause I'm already shining
Through all the blood sweat and tears my heart's a conflict diamond
And though this life is rough and tough it's nothing like the bottom
A winner so I spring up when I fall, unlike it's autumn
Show me the top of the list
I'll be mopping the competition
Stop and listen
Y'all just be reminiscing
I'm so fly, I can hop and ascend
Hop in a Benz
N***as try slashing the tires
Mad cause they're fast to retire
What happened to Var?
N***a was happy and all
But now he be snapping on songs, Damn
I miss the old days
That's what you say if you ain't striving for your own pay
Live life like it's Coldplay
But I'm hot and I'm serious
Y'all can't put no fear in us
They can't make up their own shit so they try to mirror us
A spitting image, spitting gimmicks won't get you digits
I won't look back at you haters when I get bigger wit it
That's like admitting that y'all were with it from the beginning
Y'all never listened
I'm lighting L's but y'all never winning
[ Bridge: ViBE ]
I want the money respect and just to live comfortable
I try to tell em to focus on what's in front of you
Or else you'll always be trippin on what you wanna do
These n***as never listen
All y'all just be reminiscing x2
Oooo, ooooo, oooooooo
[Interpolation of Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth's "T.R.O.Y. (They Reminisce Over You)"]
[ Verse 2: T.ruly Y.ours ]
I've been going through the worst living trying to maintain
Hustled everyday, only trying to make change
True to my homies, praying that it stay the same
Why talk about my pain? Cause it's exactly what I go through
One of the main reasons I've been anti-social
You looking for advice my n***a I can't coach you
Lost in the streets where I'm trapped with no way out
Jail ain't no option so I'm fighting for a way out
Plans go accordingly to how the cards play out
Traumatized from the memories I can't fade out
Lord please help me and forgive me for my actions
All this anger built up got me overreacting
Rumor is, ain't no happiness around trapping
You've been talking to the captain
I'ma show you how it happened
I've been ready for this action
Been built since a youngin'
My little n***as bucking cause this shit will just get real
When we out here (haha)
We don't play
Fuck it, we get the chips Frito Lays
Stack it in my pocket
Let it stack to the ceiling
Let you know I got it
Trying to get me profit
All knowledge
That's why I spit it off the dome
When I'm wiling through the streets with my bros, I got the chrome
It's just the real life
Fuck it
Y'all don't know what it feel like
[ Verse 3: ViBE ]
This is about progression
I count my blessings and found a lesson
I learned that what you had was building blocks to what you're getting
Them n***as ghost while you struggle until ghosts what you get in
Don't boast what you're getting
Then you should hope for protection
N***as lurking
Bitches twerking asses like Perkins
Some bitches foul but they give them the D like Kendrick Perkins
It's ok to see a thick bitch do the thunder clap
But I won't pull my sword for a hoe
I ain't the Thunder Cats
But them other cats gonna fall in baby mother traps
And run from ex lovers
Sex in covers cost but can't cover that
The love in fact was never much of that and he was never rich
That bull was tellin fibs, now all he do is reminisce
