[Verse 2: T3] El killin em, Dilla killin 'em Maybe we could hook up again back with 'Tin n' 'nem Together again like armed forces On some Fantastic Four, Four Horsemen Can't do it without your crew, boy Guess who, boy? Comin' through with two, boy Nobody but us, had rap in a clutch Passed and switched it up like kids in double dutch Some couldn't feel our style or feel our flow Never talked our slang, never walked our road All they know is these niggas is tainted Don't know about them Rovers that's candy-painted We been misquoted, misconstrued Misunderstood and overused So we take this time to set the record straight Critics get the di-dick, we did it anyway Now, you hear our raps with Dilla, you all on the team Till you heard 'Tin was gone, was a part of the scheme See? We still got love, where was you at? 'Cause a nigga go solo, think we turn our backs? Maybe we-a reunite on some shit like that But I gotta set it straight 'fore you twists the facts, nigga!
[Hook] Still here, never left, just switched the style up Came through, made moves to get the crowd up It's hard time, "V" time, nigga, your time's up Get riled up for the Reunion
[Verse 3: Elzhi] Yo, 'Tin killin em, 3 killin 'em You thought we broke up, and yeah, you right, we really did I wrote a verse that I recited; it was hot But I had to rewrite it, 'cause I thought we was united, and we not And though all the love that I got for you, partner I picked apart ya words and I'm shocked in the interviews I been accused of not carin' When the city threw your furniture out It's not fair when I'm learnin' about How stressed you feel in a article Forget a rhyme, I'm just as real when I talk to you And you know that we share Kodak moments I wish we could go back, but don't act like you wasn't Buggin' out like a phone tap, chasin' cars in the street I saw you throw up hard in the sink Then after, hit the bar for a drink Who asked you to slow down? Even though niggas told me you was gon' clown But I tried, and you know I cried when I saw you Wilding at the State Theater, near the door by the side Wanted to throw you in the trunk and find a preacher for you 'Cause I thought you had unlawful demons on you Sinkin fast in the deepest soil Your parents finally got you some help You came out seemin' normal, and I heard you on medication Had an illness you couldn't heal with herbs and meditation And believe me, me and T3 kept it low Don't take it as a diss, this is just to let you know that I love you But watch the company you keep Swearing niggas don't care, but they love you in the streets Get your mind right, nigga!

Black Milk used a sample from guitarist John Abercrombie’s song “Timeless”:
This song was intended to reunite the whole Slum Village group (T3, J Dilla, Baatin and added Elzhi), therefore the track was titled “Reunion”. Baatin had an encounter with a mental illness and that is why he is not on the track. Elzhi’s verse explains his “unlawful demons” and refers to his schizophrenia.
