… I reminisce, I reminisce
Uh (I reminisce, I reminisce)
Yeah (I reminisce, I reminisce)
(I reminisce, I reminisce)
(I reminisce)
… I reminisce for a spell, or shall I say think back (yeah)
22 years ago to keep it on track (uh-huh)
The birth of a child on the 8th of October (it's like that)
A toast, but my granddaddy came sober (crazy fact)
Countin' all the fingers and the toes
Now I suppose (uh) you hope the little black boy grows (yeah), huh
18 years younger than my mama (mama)
But I rarely got beatings 'cause the girl loved drama (yeah)
… In single parenthood, there I stood (huh?)
By the time she was 21, had another one (yeah)
This one is a girl, let's name her Pam
Same father as the first, but you don't give a damn (alright)
Irresponsible, plain not-thinking (yeah)
Papa said, "Chill, " but the brother keep winking (uh-huh)
Still, he won't down you or tear out your hide (right)
On your side while the baby maker slide (slide)
… But mama got wise to the game (uh)
The youngest of five kids, hon, here it is (yeah)
After ten years without no spouse (yeah)
Momma's gettin' married and a house (what?)
Listen, positive over negative for the woman and master (uh-huh)
Mother Queen's rising, a chapter (yeah)
Déjà vu, tell you what I'm gonna do (do it)
When they reminisce over you, my God
… My God
It's so
Yeah, so lovely
That's how we like to do it in the '90s
Pete Rock and CL Smooth comin' at cha
… When I date back, I recall a man off the family tree
My right-hand Poppa Doc I see
Took me from a boy to a man, so I always had a father
When my biological didn't bother (yeah)
Taking care of this, so who am I to bicker (bicker)
Not a bad ticker, but I'm clocking pop's liver (yeah)
But you can never say that his life is through (uh-huh)
Five kids at 21, believe he got a right too (that's right)
… Here we go while I check the scene
With the Portuguese Lover at the age of 14 (tell 'em)
The same age, front page, no fuss
But I bet you all your dough, they live longer than us (that's right)
Never been senile, that's where you're wrong (uh-huh)
But give the man a taste and he's gone
Noddin' off, sleep to a jazz tune
I can hear his head banging on the wall in the next room
… I get the pillow and hope I don't wake him (yeah)
For this man do cuss, hear it all in verbatim (uh-huh)
Telling me how to raise my boy unless he's taking over
I said, "Pop, maybe when you're older" (older)
We laughed all night about the hookers at the party
My old man standing, yelling "Good God Almighty" (uh-huh)
Use your condom, take sips of the brew (that's right)
When they reminisce over you, for real
… For real, baby
Like that
We for real
Comin' at cha
In '92
Pete Rock and CL Smooth
Yeah, c'mon, hit me
… I reminisce so you never forget this
The days of way-back, so many bear witness the fitness (yeah)
Take the first letter out of each word in this joint
Listen close as I prove my point
T to the R the O-Y, how did you and I meet?
In front of Big Lou's, fighting in the street
But only you saw what took many time to see
I dedicate this to you for believing in me
… Rain or shine, yes, in any weather (yeah)
My Grandmom Pam holds the family together (uh-huh)
My Uncle Doc's the greatest, better yet the latest
If we're talking about a car, Uncle Sterling got the latest (yeah)
I strive to be live 'cause I got no choice
And run my own business like my Aunt Joyce (yeah)
So Pete Rock hit me, 'nough respect due (uh-huh)
When they reminisce over you, listen
… Listen, just listen to the funky song as I rock on
And that's word is bond, I'm not playin'
Everybody, just coolin'
This song we dedicate to the one and only
Never be another, he was my brother
Trouble T-Roy, it's like that y'all
And you don't stop
Pete Rock and CL Smooth for '92
And we out, later
… Just listen, just listen
Just listen, just listen
Just listen, just listen
Just listen, just listen
Peace!
