Reminisce
Soulful Reflections: Menlik Zergabachew's 'Reminisce' Unveiled
Lyrics
Been a long time
Expressing the passage of a significant amount of time.
Since you crossed my mind
Reflecting on thoughts of someone or something from the past.
Been so many places drank so much wine
Having experienced various locations and consumed a considerable amount of wine.
Still ain't found no one I could confide in
Struggling to find a trustworthy person to share deep thoughts with.
All of my feelings inside me
Acknowledging internal emotional complexities.
Most of my friends actin brand new
Observing a change in the behavior of most friends, appearing distant or unfamiliar.
I thought I really could see through
Realizing a difficulty in seeing through the true intentions of others.
But I guess I just fooled myself
Admitting to self-deception or misunderstanding.
In the end all ya got is yaself
Emphasizing the ultimate reliance on oneself.
Holdup wait
Requesting a pause or delay in the narrative.
Theres a couple people that do come to mind
Identifying specific individuals who come to mind.
When I think about who Ima always have around my side
Considering those who will consistently be by one's side.
Start off with my family and the rest of who love
Starting with family and those who genuinely love.
Anybody scheming, they will never sigh deep enough
Warning that those with malicious intentions will never understand deeply enough.
Living in the same trap
Sharing a common struggle or challenge.
Smoking on the same pack
Indicating shared habits or vices.
Talking all that same talk
Referencing repetitive and insincere conversations.
Really wishing they could take back
Expressing a desire for remorse or undoing past actions.
All that shit from way back
Reflecting on negative experiences from the past.
When they see me in a Maybach
Anticipating envy or resentment when achieving success.
They gonna really really hate that
Expecting negative reactions from others in response to personal achievements.
Been a long time
Reiteration of the significant passage of time.
Since you crossed my mind
Recalling thoughts of someone or something from the past (repeated).
Been so many places drank so much wine
Reiterating experiences of travel and wine consumption (repeated).
Still ain't found no one I could confide in
Continued difficulty in finding a confidant (repeated).
All of my feelings inside me
Reiterating internal emotional complexities (repeated).
Most of my friends actin brand new
Observing continued changes in the behavior of friends (repeated).
I thought I really could see through
Reiterating the challenge of seeing through others' intentions (repeated).
But I guess I just fooled myself
Reiterating self-deception or misunderstanding (repeated).
In the end all ya got is yaself
Emphasizing the enduring truth that one can rely on oneself (repeated).
