Reminiscing
5ive Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo I've got a little story that I'd like to address
To individuals
Gotta get it off of my chest
It ain't about who the best
Of 5ive bein' better then the next
We're just a little different from the rest
'Cause see we got each other
When things go down
And time is just too important to be messin' around
So understand

Not what I'm trying to say
But appreciate living life day to day
So how does it feel to be the only ones
Left out in the rain 'cause you're phoney ones
Wake up and realize what you live is a dream
Ain't gonna be there for long even though it may seem
Like a never ending story
You in it for the money or the glory
Open up your ears or ignore me
All I'm tryin' to do is be the man I am and be the best in this world I can
Reminiscing bout the time we used to share
If you feel it throw your hands up in the air
Time is running out
Memories die
Keep movin' on
Gotta keep movin' on

You got to open your mind up and kick both your feet up
I'll hit you with a tale of how the five of us were meet up
We're just five guys who want to rise to the skies
No we got a vision in our eyes
Now people want to step up and try to hold us back
They want to try to stop us getting freaky on this track
But this is how we kick it and this is how we swing
And this is how I hit you w/ the funk that I bring
Now you gotta select to connect not disrespect
And you gotta learn to keep your negativity in check
'Cause everybody knows what goes around comes around
I'll put it down w/ my sound
Reminiscing bout the times we used to share
If you feel it throw your hands up in the air
Time is running out memories die

Keep movin' on
Gotta keep movin' on
Reminiscing bout the times we used to share
If you feel it throw your hands up in the air
Time is running out
Memories die
Keep movin' on
Gotta keep movin' on

Reminiscing bout the times we used to share
If you feel it throw your hands up in the air
Reminiscing bout the times we used to share
If you feel it throw your hands up in the air




How does it feel to be the only ones
Left out in the rain 'cause you're phoney ones
