Reminisce Songtext
von Nas

Go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go
Go, go, go

My comfort gave you discomfort (discomfort)
Just know that in the hood they gon′ bump this (gon' bump this)
And I′m only strong as my circle (as my circle)
The things that shaped me would've murked you (would've murked you)

I didn′t have to die so that they could call me the great one
Didn′t take a couple albums, people said it from day one
From wings with hot sauce to tuna tartare
Driven in RR's
From hidin′ from robbery victims in back of cop cars
Tatted from my neck to abdomen
Almost gettin' shot was averagin′ once every two weeks
Blessed what, I had to be in these painful words
Hearing these liars puttin' my name in dirt
Aim and I burst, pistol practice until my fingers hurt


I hit my target, uh, I up the margin
What they on?
You know how Nas do, don′t get me started
Cheek, sleek, and snazzy from a small family
Fine taste and I hate, the unsatisfactory
We can gun blast or party, Great Gatsby theme
Bring your first ladies or come with your new nasty thing (nasty thing)
'Cause every other day I'm remindin′ myself
I reached every goal that was high on the shelf

My comfort give you discomfort (discomfort)
Just know that in the hood they gon′ bump this (they gon' bump this)
And I′m only strong as my circle (as my circle)
The things that shaped me would've murked you (would have murked you)

The things that shaped me (go)
And I′ll (go) like to (go) reminisce (go)
Go, go, go (the things) go (that shaped me)
'Cause (go) what we doin′ right now is really lit
Right (go) now is (go) really lit
The things that shaped me would've murked you


When you're high as me you get highly critiqued
Hacked on a beat, purposely sounding like nine-three
None quite like me, so haters got S-M-D
When they bit out, like black liquor is
My life′s still sweet
I went for the cash grab
Crack cash was my math class, fresh white teeth
Two down, the crosses look like a hashtag
News is fake, never knew I′d soon relate
To Tom Brady goin' for seven in Tampa Bay

It′s that crazy, I ain't never been bothered, that bothered you
You ain′t born for this shit, being great is too hard for you
That's a hater problem
They try to say it first what you might say about ′em
Why you stuck in the past? I stay vibin'
Can't just reminisce only, got to live in the moment
Talked my shit at the MOMA with The Weeknd performin′
I′m chosen, got off the big Boeing in Rick Owens
Rick owe us, peep how different it look on us

My comfort give you discomfort (discomfort)
Just know that in the hood they gon' bump this (gon′ pump this)
And I'm only strong as my circle (as my circle)
The things that shaped me would′ve murked you (would've murked you)

(The things that shaped me)
(Go) the streets (go) the beef (go) the beats (go)
(The beats) go, go, go
(The things that shaped me)
(Go) the creeps (go) the thieves (go) defeat (go)
The things that shaped me (go) would′ve murked you (go)

(Go, go) and now, I'll like to reminisce
Shout out to Mary J. Blige
YO, Cue
'Cause what we doin′ right now is really lit
Those things were great man
But today what we doin′ is next level

And I'll like to reminisce (reminisce)
For what?
That was then, this is now
′Cause what we doin' right now is really lit (It′s about right now)
The things that shaped me would've murked you (go)
Go, go (remind me, yeah) go, go
(You remind) go, go
Go, go (remind me) go, go (yeah)
Go (you remind) go

Trippin′ on 'em (trippin' on ′em)
Spinnin′ corners (spinnin' corners)
Distant times (distant times)
I reminisce on ′em (reminisce on 'em)
Reminisce (reminisce)
And my past ain′t the prettiest (prettiest)
There was a time they wasn't feelin′ us

Mass Appeal now we really up
Reminisce (reminisce)
Relationships ain't the prettiest
I was stuck on the silliness
Was it love that I was really in?
We don't know until it really end
But then it′s too late, reminisce (reminisce)

′Mind me yeah
Reminisce (you remind-)
