[Common, Bilal, Yasiin Bey - Reminisce lyrics]
Yo just when I think that I forgot you
I hear that dub that we used to rock to
Just when I think I'm gettin' on without you
Somebody passed and asked me about you
Was in the back of a cab the other day
Swear to God I saw you
Walking past the other way
My heart rushed, my face flushed
Tell the driver hit the brakes
Slow the pace up wait up, It wasn't you
Realized it's a mirage I was running to
Damn, can the effects of love and time
Cause the mind to trick the eye?
I wonder how you're gettin' by
And all the stars still in your eye
But you still just get the vibe
You break the bank to spend the time
I reminisce of shifting time to
When you was mine
Years ago, in the midst
Of hallways and sliding doors
Missing links are very very obscure
Vision of you shines
But only for a short time
My mistake I didn't pick up on
It 'til years down the line
Here now as I reminisce
Will I ever see your face again?
Baby, as I lay back
Will I ever see your face again?
As I reminisce as I reminisce
Hold still the divine has placed us
In a small world and thankfully so
Our paths cross once more
And to whose surprise but mine
West 14th and 6th was the place
Where we combined once more
There at the front door of
The corner store you stood
I reminisce infection as I think back
Will I ever see her face again?
As I reminisce as I reminisce
A happy story always ends as it starts
But with few exceptions involved
We became an item me for you and you for me
Good times in sickness and health
Brokeness and richness, baby, we made it work
Yes sir yo, I reminisce over this chick
Colder than a soda princess a soldier
Raised in Islamic culture
Sexy as the girl on the Jamaica poster
Met her overseas where it really
Don't be no sistas brought her on stage as
Bilal sang "Soul Sista"
In body parts the blood was thicker
Sweet only tryna make sure
It ain't the liquor
She was with a nigga come to find out
She and sista backstage
Conversation kissed her
Made me forget to remember that
I'd pimp or die
Put the pimpin' aside, I see Kenya in her eye
Our connection lies in a life before
For us to meet again was divine law
So I can't describe how deep I dug her
Now only in memory can I hug her
I reminisce, y'all oh my God
I hear that dub that we used to rock to
Just when I think I'm gettin' on without you
Somebody passed and asked me about you
Was in the back of a cab the other day
Swear to God I saw you
Walking past the other way
My heart rushed, my face flushed
Tell the driver hit the brakes
Slow the pace up wait up, It wasn't you
Realized it's a mirage I was running to
Damn, can the effects of love and time
Cause the mind to trick the eye?
I wonder how you're gettin' by
And all the stars still in your eye
But you still just get the vibe
You break the bank to spend the time
I reminisce of shifting time to
When you was mine
Years ago, in the midst
Of hallways and sliding doors
Missing links are very very obscure
Vision of you shines
But only for a short time
My mistake I didn't pick up on

Here now as I reminisce
Will I ever see your face again?
Baby, as I lay back
Will I ever see your face again?
As I reminisce as I reminisce
Hold still the divine has placed us
