[chorus]
got me thinking yeah yeah
reminiscing yeah yeah
got me thinking yeah yeah
reminiscing yeah yeah

[verse 1]
growing up as fortunate as i am is a blessing
i’m losing count of countless time i been needlessly stressing
speaking with international flows impressive
just a b*tterfly inside a cocoon feeling the pressure

first generation, first child
first immigrant
from desert weather to snowstorms with a new vision
i called it home even though i knew that i was different
young hairy adolescent always in his element

baba scowered through toronto for a job after we landed
didn’t have n0body here saying hamdillah asslamah
bussing from sauga to scarborough rocking sandals and a jacket
days after the storm in 99 had happened

[chorus]
got me thinking yeah yeah
reminiscing yeah yeah
got me thinking yeah yeah
reminiscing yeah yeah
[verse 2]
searching for greater
made our way to o*town
the place i call my hometown
stuck in an apartment now the pressure feeling profound

mama baba head to school to redo they degrees
system so flawed, disregard what they achieved
dropping me at daycare i would cry when mama leaves
they graduated with honours getting closer to they dream

of living in a country in peace
add another son on the team
now we four people in between
four walls became a cage

questioning if it was worth it when there was no family
around us showing love
grandma got sick back home baba said he had enough
his momma passed away couple days before he was boutta hop on a plane
to tell his momma your son ain’t forget about where he was raised
but it was too late
9,676 kilometres away

[chorus]
got me thinking yeah yeah
reminiscing yeah yeah
got me thinking yeah yeah
reminiscing yeah yeah
