I Reminice
Eternal Homage: Reflecting on Loss and Memories in 'I Reminisce'
Lyrics
Only 2 1/2 years but a lifetime of memories
Reflecting on 2 1/2 years filled with significant memories.
The moment I heard you were gone I broke down crying on my knees saying Lord please
Expressing emotional breakdown and plea to God upon hearing about the person's death.
Take me instead 'cause I feel like I'm already dead
Desiring to trade places, feeling emotionally dead.
My methods ahuevo de smoke that's why the future will roll in his head
Using drugs to cope with the pain, referencing a bleak future.
Man getting a little choked up just rubbing about it
Feeling emotional while talking about it.
Los hombres no lloran for shit homeboy quit rubbing about it
Rejecting the idea that men cry, encouraging to stop crying.
I reminice about back in the day we use to play before we lift weights
Recalling the past when they used to play and lift weights.
But I also remember the scuffles we had in pulling the plane this way
Remembering both positive and negative experiences, including conflicts.
Hearing you say to this day "Hey perro come over so we can lift weights"
Recalling invitations to lift weights and go on first dates.
And getting a hyna and getting first dates
Reflecting on past relationships and experiences.
And I embrace finally grasping hard to reality 'cause I hate living a fantasy
Embracing reality, expressing dislike for living in a fantasy.
Realizing that not really here I said to myself that it cannot be
Doubting the reality of the person's absence.
It cannot be that you're not really here
Repeating disbelief that the person is not really there.
It cannot be it cannot be that you're not really here
-It cannot be it cannot be that you're not really here
-It cannot be it cannot be that you're not really here
-You're not really here
-Chorus: 2x
Chorus expressing nostalgia and missing the departed friend.
I reminice about back in the days carnal
-We use to kick it in the playground and lift weights carnal
-I wonder why you had to leave my side
-Your memories on my mind everyday and every night
-All of the time
-You're probably wondering why I didn't show up to the funeral
Regretting not attending the funeral, expressing gratitude and confusion about the person's passing.
I bet it was beautiful carnal did it hurt just to look at you
-Laying there in the coffin on your back just in black 'cause I couldn't understand the fact
-That you had to pass and couldn't get a chance
-To live a holy life
-Always did something right our couple of days were tight
-Thanks for everything expressing my gratitude with tears trickling
-Down my face 'cause I went out with praise is this a bunch of no maze?
-But in the end of my days thinking of ways
Contemplating life, expressing a desire for divine help.
I'd rather get by or leave myself a place so I must get high
-Why is it so many questions to solve?
-Not enough answers so it's easy to call I don't worry it all
-I'll be your help when I fall when I feel pretty sure with your pictures on my wall
-Now I lay me down to sleep dream my soul for the Lord to keep
-And if you ever see me sleep anything close to a week
Hoping for peaceful rest in sleep, expressing a wish for eternal peace.
Now I want to let you know that I truly rest in peace
-Yeah was sup. This song is dedicated to my homie Gabriel
Dedication to the friend Gabriel, acknowledging his passing and expressing gratitude.
who passed away on Mother's Day. And is dedicated to his familia
-and everyone who's lost someone out there. Rest in Peace. I know
-you're looking down on me homie. And I know it. Rest in peace.
-Gracias Por everything homie. I'll miss you. Al rato
-Chorus
Chorus repetition.
It's hard homie putting these words in a song 'cause now you're gone
Expressing difficulty in putting emotions into a song, dealing with loneliness and suicidal thoughts.
And I'm all alone suicidal thoughts just rolling through my dome
-I'm sorry ese if it seems like my voice is getting eerie
-But every night I think about that day I get a little teary
-Si supieras lo que hicistes dejastes a tus padres bien triste no es un chiste
Reflecting on the impact of the friend's actions and the consequences for the family.
Es algo serio caiste al cemeterio
-De los 17 años nomas por un paño
-why el varrio que queries tanto como les canto
Pondering the seriousness of the story, questioning the appropriateness of singing without tears.
Esta historia sin estar llorando?
-Cuando ando solo en mi carro me acuerdo en esos tiempos desmadrosos
Recalling carefree times, street life, and searching for rivals.
Dos mocosos jugandole los pozos
-De las calles we were whooped we went out to the valles
-Looking for enemigas listos para ser desmadres was an everyday thing
-And until that night when I heard the phone ring at about 2:00 in the morning
Receiving the news of the friend's death and experiencing intense sorrow.
My jefita gave me the bad news and my tears just started pouring, pouring
-This is for all my homies that passed away. Descansa en paz.
Dedicating the song to all departed friends, wishing them to rest in peace.
