See her face whenever I, I look at you
You remind me of someone
I′m not just here for fun
You broke my heart I'm done
I spent a band on my shoes
Bitch I'm the man when I come through
Walk in the bank nigga like ooh
He ain't even fly, no
He ain′t even drive, no
You ain′t gotta lie, no
I know its hard to see
I need your love so call on me
Whatever you want, it's all on me
Baby girl pleasе just follow me
Won′t you fall in love with me?
Show you things you'vе never seen
I can see you in my dreams
My bitch look like Belle Delphine
Show me love, it′s hard for me
I just want your company
I just want you loving me
Babygirl, please just follow me
Won't you fall in love with me?
Show you things you′ve never seen
I can see you in my dreams
You remind me of someone
I'm not Just here for fun
You broke my heart I'm done
I spent a band on my shoes
Please understand I′m not you
Bitch I′m the man when I come through
Walk in the bank nigga like ooh
He ain't even fly no
He ain′t even drive no
You ain't gotta lie no
Yeah, you
You won′t believe all the things she put me through
This is why I just can't get with you

The lyrics to "Reminiscence" by Staylil4 tell the tale of a man who is reminded of a woman from his past every time he looks at his current love interest. He spends extravagantly on himself in an effort to distance himself from his former lover, but he still longs for the love and affection that he once had. Despite his desire for love, he asserts his confidence as a man and his power in other aspects of life, such as his financial success. The chorus repeats the message that the woman reminds him of someone who broke his heart, leaving him unable to truly invest himself in a new relationship.
At the same time, the song hints at the singer's resentment toward the woman who left him. The line "Please understand I'm not you" suggests that the woman he is addressing may have been selfish or materialistic in a similar way to his past lover. However, he also pleads with her to "call on him" and "fall in love with" him, indicating that he may be willing to open his heart despite his reservations.

You can't imagine the pain and heartache I went through because of the person you remind me of. This is why I can't fully commit myself to you even though I want to.
