Reminisce

Ayy, one time for the city though, ayy, one time for the real ones,

Ayy, look, man, I got all of that game from Big Ray
And the OGs from around the way
Uncle said, even Baldy too But my favorite to this day was Uncle Dave
Matter of fact, this beat remind me of the El Camino that he used to have
Lavender paint with the chrome and the slap
I can't even front, man, I wanted it bad

Lil' n***a out the South Bay
You hear it so much cause I'm proud of it
So much love for that Southeast
East Daygo, my memories tied to it

Tournaments out at Encanto Rec
City Heights, then back out to Jackie Robinson
I really thought I was the one on that court
But JayDee Luster was the coldest I ever met

Screamin' T.D. like he never left, man, I miss my dog
Wish we had him back, ridin' with T. Love and Bet
Throw on them beats and freestyle in the back,
We roamin' the city, my momma stay worried

Was livin' too fast, grew up in a hurry
That's probably the reason I'm takin' it slow,
man all of that shit I done seen it before
Know so many n****s who dead or in jail
And half of them n****s should be in the league today
I'm talkin' to God like, lead the way
You know I be stressed, I'm tryin' my best

Really wish I could go back to them days
Really wish all of my people was here
I'm sippin' this liquor, I'm feelin' a way
But thankful I know it's the reason I'm here
Reminiscing,

ayy, ayy Sittin' here, reminiscing, look
Thinkin 'bout all of them days
You know that we miss em, yeah
Wouldn't trade it for nothin
Wouldn't make nothin' different, nah
Wouldn't make nothin' different, nah
Sittin' here, reminiscing, ayy, ayy
Sittin' here, reminiscing, ayy
One time for the ones that we lost
You know that we miss em, yeah
Man, I wish y'all was here
I wish it was different
So we reminiscing, ayy,

look, Barbecues every Saturday
If the family linked, it was Oxford Park
Real life Snoop and Dre video
Everyone chillin' from morning to dark

You get your occasional mothafucka tryin' to act a way
They gon' set him straight, i come from the era of running fades,
We gon' dap it up and everything okay

Watchin' them Spades and Domino games
I'm trippin' cause now we the ones at the table
If ever you that I'm out, and
I'm with the homie, you know he a day one I take a lot of pride in bein' solid Real ones move in silence, if it's one thing I know The ones that need the most attention, be timid, man
Trust me, them niggas gon' fold, that ain't what we on

I'm settin' and chasin' these goals Gettin' to it, then I get me some more
Knew since a youngin' I had to be great, man
that was just settin' the tone, I been through the maze
That's where the Frankie Beverly, the joy and the pain made a better me, Go through the struggle to get to them better things And it's comin' full circle like wedding rings

Lil Boogie Bloss, Naples and Moss
Runnin' through ditches and hoppin' them fences
Now I'm at dinner with millionaires askin' me
What do I do for a livin', that shit got me trippin
I'm just a nigga that's stuck in his ways Embracin' the change, I always remember the days,
Look at how far we done came, you wouldn't believe this shit, man
reminiscing, ayy, ayy

Sittin' here, reminiscing, look
Thinkin 'bout all of them days
You know that we miss em, yeah
Wouldn't trade it for nothin
Wouldn't make nothin' different, nah

Wouldn't make nothin' different, nah
Sittin' here, reminiscing, ayy, ayy
Sittin' here, reminiscing, ayy
One time for the ones that we lost

You know that we miss em, yeah
Man, I wish y'all was here
I wish it was different
So we reminiscing, ayy, look

Ayy
Ayy, one time for the city, though
Ayy, one time for the real ones
Ayy, one time for the...

Ayy
