Reminiscent

//Verse 1
Thats a common word
For the common bird
But thats not the topic though
I want to make sure that this gets heard
Or prolly read maybe
Fuck, I started cryin' like baby
Thinkin' about those times in the past when my very style was fuckin' crazy
I was makin' rhymes that seemed too hasty lazy and it was fuckin' hazy
Couldn't even tell one line from the other but people bein' nice said I was amazin'
I was 14 at time I wrote my first rhyme to a girl on kik
Few days later she was at my waiter took me to the back room just to be my pick
It made me fuckin' sick, and she was hella thick, prolly woulda smashed her too
If her ass wasn't bein' faker than a sculpture shoe
Well now I rue, questioned every friend that I ever knew
They kept replyin' like "What I do?"
Its not what you do, its who you do it to
And I ran out of empathy, sympathy was more like my enemy
Time goes by then I'm an antipathy, watchin' all for them signs of apathy
Started talkin' to myself telepathically, lettin' everybody actions tell the math for me
In reality, I was checkin' 'em out like I wanted their mentality
//Hook
Reminiscin' on my past
Where everybody last
Stay updated in my past
'Cause the time pass
Noticed the old trash
Where my rhymes was thrown in gas
And I wanted to always ask
Will I ever be the last
But you can see I'm reminiscin' (x3)
I'm just that young nigga with them thoughts thats hella reminiscent
//Verse 2
Theres once was a time before the lines I wrote on paper
Before my fuckin' dog died and my brother's prison papers
Where I can see a bright light
Just at the end of the tunnel
I kept runnin' then I stumbled
'Cause I seen the plight
I seen this plot before
Everybody goes out that door
But I wanted something more
Or something else that helps me forward
Thought 'bout givin' up
Saw no way out thats just my luck
Touched on a wall and it crumbled down
I looked around for a dollar and a buck
Its the devil was in mind, I'm fuckin' up half the time
I just needed a shrine to pray to god so I can feel just fine
For the devil it was lunchtime, it was crunch time, on these bones of mine
Pickin' me apart and thats one by one
Tell the devil job well done, if he wants me gone just pick up a gun
'Cause I been feelin' dead for a couple of months
Never asked for help not once
So I gave in to scraps and crumbs
My worst enemy became my fam
Couldn't accept for who the fuck I am
They started sayin' shit like Uncle Sam
"I want you..." to be a man
//Hook
Reminiscin' on my past
Where everybody last
Stay updated in my past
'Cause the time pass
Noticed the old trash
Where my rhymes was thrown in gas
And I wanted to always ask
Will I ever be the last
But you can see I'm reminiscin' (x3)
I'm just that young nigga with them thoughts thats hella reminiscent
