[Hook] Reminiscin' Reminiscin', I am Reminiscin' Reminiscin', I am Reminiscin' by fishing up all these memories The only problem is I think they might just be the end of me Reminiscin' Reminiscin, I am Reminiscin' Reminiscin, I am Reminiscin' by fishing up all these memories The only problem is I need to throw most back into the sea [Verse 1] I graduated '09, and thought that I was so fine But I often hit rewind in my mind reminiscin' old times That whole time was a gold mine but my slow mind couldn't grow I was so blind, didn't know why all this old pride wouldn't go Away so I stayed in this maze my face portrayed A pain that was so great but I was playin' the game I was so F-A-K-E just put on a smile and front it Some say to take heed while playin' these games out in public But i was stuck in it, lovin' it was fun I must admit These thoughts were rushin in, crushin men jumpin front of it I was losin' my trust in this musket the bayonets rustin' quick So I'm luggin' this shotgun a slug I got one I'm pumpin' it, uh Aimin' for lies, but these guys keep comin' in Changin' they disguise every time we discover them I never summoned them, yet still they found there way to me No matter my direction memories kept chasin' me Embracin' me persuasively takin' me to sedated sleep
And through evasive schemes, I still kept chasin' dreams Though most were make believe, just constantly replayin' scenes Of my past and how I acted when I shattered These dreams and broken fragments of patterns that never mattered I was dramatic and lavished my habits that were average Established tragical matters actin' just like a savage I would ravage the pa**age laughin' at lower cla**es Tactically surpa**ing the sadness like when you close a casket I was absent, in thought and deed Possibly so lost in greed, it's costing me The lock and key which constantly was causing me To think back to a different time and place But it's pointless to embrace the past if you can't find a way To stray from these legitimate yet intimate memories Very intricately woven when holding em' inwardly ugh If I don't let em go I know they'll be the end of me yup [Hook] Reminiscin' Reminiscin', I am Reminiscin' Reminiscin', I am Reminiscin' by fishing up all these memories The only problem is I think they might just be the end of me Reminiscin' Reminiscin, I am Reminiscin' Reminiscin, I am Reminiscin' by fishing up all these memories The only problem is I need to throw most back into the sea
