[Verse 1]

Reminiscent of my bedroom, and my shoe box
And my gym shirt, and my boom box
Reminiscent of my Pop Pop purchasing doughnuts
Letting me sleep in on weekend
Reminiscent of my driveway, pedaling big wheel
Burger King crown with a kid's meal
Reminiscent of the frost on the windshield
Sunday evening getting lost in the Springfield Elementary
Reminiscent of penciling, stenciling fast, watching wrestling
Reminiscent of the bell at the end of the lesson
Reminiscent of the smell at the delicatessen
Reminiscent of the dust on the basketball court floor
Hopping and hoping to hit the backboard
Reminiscent of my old life
Reminiscing 'cause I carry it my whole life

[Chorus]
Go back to your roots
Lot to pursue but you got to recoup
Know that, if you grew
Up with somebody they will always be with you
Go back to your roots
Lot to pursue but you got to re...coup
Know that, if you grew
Up with somebody they will always be with you

[Verse 2]
Reminiscent of my high school graduation
Week at the beach with my brothers was amaziing
Crashing parties, relaxed and tardy
And darting at the opportunity to rock 'til 2 or 3
Reminiscent of swimming pools and getting too hyped up
Years prior to being mic'd up
I light up at the very thought of a long drive
With song high volume play, outside all through day
Reminiscent of dorm rooms and lounges to study
The rowdiest buddies who prowl to get lucky
Reminiscent of a crowd that was stunning
Backyard day party was sunny when we depart it was fuzzy, funny
Reminiscent of Russell Hall and Harrington Complex
Open response tests and prospects, some regrets?
Well, I guess but I ain't dwell, so
Thank God I ain't too cool for that safe belt
Reminiscent of Philadelphia peeps with Philadelphia eats
on Philadelphia streets
I miss the smell of a cheese (steak), cannot be re (placed)
And rent was cheap (rate), the day I peaced (wait)
Reminiscent of packing up a van, and stacking up two grand
To up and grab a chance to have what it takes
Or back up and break, to work your back 'til it breaks
Reminisce on all you have to they day, hey

[Chorus]
Go back to your roots
Lot to pursue but you got to recoup
Know that, if you grew
Up with somebody they will always be with you
Go back to your roots
Lot to pursue but you got to re...coup
Know that, if you grew
Up with somebody they will always be with you
