LYRICS
I reminisce, I reminisce

I reminisce for a spell, or shall I say think back
Hella great things that tell the way we act
Born on the 12th of October
Never smoked, never drank, life-long sober
Over-stated as underrated since the beginning
when in second grade it was stated that I was a musician
From piano to the sax and other woodwinds
Lessons with jazz legends where Inglewood ends
From the vinyl to the tracks and bumpin good blends
Breaking and tagging and banging with my 'hood friends
I was about that life for more than a minute
Even though my parents raised me different, I was in it
Irresponsible, plain not thinking
Peers and constables, years of obstacles
Finally hurdled and liquidated like Squirtle
when I verbally murdered derkles, underground never commercial
I make music because music made me
It seems you all forgot the value of it lately
Appreciation is missing, so I'm on a mission
To help you see it glisten when you close your eyes and listen
Positive over negative, gotta let it live
before it dies - that's a lesson in rhetoric
De ja vu, still the crew gets hella blue
when they reminisce over Drew
Good lord

I reminisce, I reminisce

Anacron - They Reminisce Over Drew (T.R.O.D.)

Flirt (prod. smokeb1n & fukkgold)

ce qui est à moi
c'est un homme seul emprisonné de blanc
c'est un homme seul qui défie les cris blancs de la mort blanche
TOUSSAINT
TOUSSAINT LOUVERTURE
TOUSSAINT

c'est un homme seul qui fascine l'épervier blanc de la mort blanche
c'est un homme seul dans la mer inféconde de sable blanc
c'est un moricaud vieux dressé contre les eaux du ciel

la mort décrit un cercle brillant au-dessus de cet homme
la mort étoile doucement au-dessus de sa tête
la mort souffle, folle, dans la cannaie mûre de ses bras
la mort galope dans la prison comme un cheval blanc

TOUSSAINT, TOUSSAINT, TOUSSAINT LOUVERTURE

la mort est un oiseau blessé
la mort décroît
la mort vacille

la mort expire dans une blanche mare de silence

TOUSSAINT, TOUSSAINT
TOUSSAINT LOUVERTURE
TOUSSAINT

c'est un homme seul emprisonné de blanc
c'est un homme seul qui défie les cris blancs de la mort blanche
une petite cellule dans le Jura,
une petite cellule, la neige la double de barreaux blancs

TOUSSAINT
TOUSSAINT
TOUSSAINT
