reminisce penning scripts in the shade
Before the days when I'd ever set a foot on the stage
The days when all i had was a pen and a dream
Before the rhythm caught the vision of the pendulum swing
I remember life before Primitive
The instrumental, force so raw, i swore I'd never limit it
Arithmetic, I spit like my days are numbered
Some is in addition to the place of hunger
So i reference my citations
It's not about the clinic when I hide my patience
I abide by tight rhymes and high vibrations
Primitive, live from Einstein's basement
Huh, 3 takes to take 2
I've been crushing mics since before my debut
Sometimes to stay still is still to make moves
Stay true on the break before the breakthrough
I reminisce (singing)
about the bars and breaks, the heart it takes.. and the masquarades
I reminisce (singing)
Cause we aren't the same, i craft my pain directly through the darkest days
I reminisce (singing)
You were waiting there
to catch my fall, when i hit the wall
I reminisce (singing)
I remember all the days back then, writing bars in the park with a pad and a pen
Dope kicks, flow sick
Came a long way from bong haze n smoke sticks
Long way from doctor jeckel and hide
My devils inside, Still develop levels of pride
No if buts or maybies, Spit love on the daily
Risk a little comfort to be living a daydream
I may seem to spit frees with such ease
While I crush motherfuckers who claim to blaze heat
Just, drop it and watch, probably rocking the obvious lot
Time to grind, nevermind when they're blind to the shine, in my prime n watching the clock
No option to stop..Reassure my assurances
Been pursuing the dream and the dreams looking glorious
Like looking back on the rest of my life
Like looking back on the best on the mic
Perpetual vibes, I do it for love, I do it for me
Do it for my fans, my one true family
I reminisce (singing)
about the bars and breaks, the heart it takes.. and the masquarades
I reminisce (singing)
Cause we aren't the same, i craft my pain directly through the darkest days
I reminisce (singing)
You were waiting there (with open arms,) to catch my fall, when i hit the wall
I reminisce (singing)
I remember all the days back then, writing bars in the park with a pad and a pen
Uh, Vernacular universal
Coming spectacular with the verbal
Dispersal, prim the lyrical flare gun
Back to square one, in fact it's full circle
The go-getter who flows better
Than half of these, so-called rappers, I'm writing the next chapter
Fresh wheels to deliver the rhymes
That's word to Matt Xander, word to kazi a
Word to Jake Izzy in the city we play
And that's word to my girl as we're drifting away
I've been: keeping it lit, peeping the secrets at creep in the mist
Reaching a peak they swear exists.. bare my teeth, prepare to spit
Barbarian shit, the Primitive sound
A taken man but a couple tryna single me out
I made a plan to up and bring it while I'm holding it down
Remember those days? Well I'm living em now
I reminisce (singing)
about the bars and breaks, the heart it takes.. and the masquarades
I reminisce (singing)
Cause we aren't the same, i craft my pain directly through the darkest days
I reminisce (singing)
You were waiting there (with open arms,) to catch my fall, when i hit the wall
I reminisce (singing)
I remember all the days back then, writing bars in the park with a pad and a pen
