Verse 1

Ladies and gentlemen, pens down, finish your last sentence

Not me, I want more, I'm sitting in the back of the class

Waiting for the bell and I'm sprinting home

I've got hundreds of ideas and they need to come out

Lippie, you in a hurry? You good, boy?

You wanna be a rapper, right? Rap for me

Chorus 1

Just ignore them, don't look, 'cause I'll have the last laugh

And I can't let it show that what they say hits me

But I'm not made of stone either

Maybe conveniently deaf

Chorus 1

And sometimes you still haunt my head

So thanks for that flame 'cause it's burning like never before

And without you there'd be no music, so it doesn't matter now

Of course you're scared of the reunion

So thanks for that flame 'cause it's burning like never before

And without you there'd be no music, so it doesn't matter now

Of course you're scared of the reunion

Maybe I'll peel an apple at the reunion

But we're both adults at the reunion

So now we shake hands at the reunion

Man, I can't wait for the reunion

And without you there'd be no music, so it doesn't matter now

I'm the man at the reunion now

Verse 2

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm back, four shows, one night

I've got even more problems, but way less stress

Waiting for the taxi and then flooring it home

I've got hundreds of pasts, but they're exactly what shape me

And I was in a hurry, I had work, guys

I could've predicted it for you

Chorus 2

And I'm going all in, watch me have the last laugh

But I can't deny that what they say hits me

But I'm not made of stone either

Maybe conveniently deaf

Chorus 2

And sometimes you still haunt my head

So thanks for that flame 'cause it's burning like never before

And without you there'd be no music, so it doesn't matter now

Of course you're scared of the reunion

So thanks for that flame 'cause it's burning like never before

And without you there'd be no music, so it doesn't matter now

Of course you're scared of the reunion

Maybe I'll peel an apple at the reunion

But we're both adults at the reunion

So now we shake hands at the reunion

Man, I can't wait for the reunion

And without you there'd be no music, so it doesn't matter now

I'm the man at the reunion now

Thanks for that flame 'cause it's burning like never before

And without you there'd be no music, so it doesn't matter now

Of course you're scared of the reunion

So thanks for that flame 'cause it's burning like never before

And without you there'd be no music, so it doesn't matter now

Of course you're scared of the reunion

SONG MEANING

Reünie is Snelle’s victory lap. In the first verses we meet a restless kid sitting at the back of the classroom, bursting with ideas but mocked by classmates who think his dream of becoming a rapper is ridiculous. Every cruel joke lights a flame inside him. He bottles up the hurt, races home, and turns it into lyrics. Years later that same energy has launched him onto big stages, yet those old taunts still echo in his head. The song thanks the bullies for providing the spark that drives his music.

The chorus flips the script: when the long-awaited school reunion comes, Snelle is no longer the shy boy but “the man.” He imagines calmly shaking hands, maybe even peeling an apple, while his former tormentors squirm. There is no gloating rage - just confident closure. By owning his pain and transforming it into art, Snelle shows learners that setbacks can fuel success and that facing your past with grace is the ultimate mic drop.
