[00:15.58](I reminisce, I reminisce)
[00:33.85]I reminisce for a spell, or shall I say think back
[00:37.56]22 years ago to keep it on track
[00:39.53]The birth of a child on the 8th of October
[00:41.84]A toast but my granddaddy came sober
[00:44.15]Countin all the fingers and the toes
[00:46.00]Now I suppose, you hope the little black boy grows, huh
[00:48.16]18 years younger than my mama
[00:50.93]But I rarely got beatings cause the girl loved drama
[00:53.59]In single parenthood there I stood
[00:55.95]By the time she was 21, had another one
[00:58.32]This one's a girl, let's name her Pam
[01:00.63]Same father as the first but you don't give a damn
[01:03.05]Irresponsible, plain not thinking
[01:05.36]Papa said chill but the brother keep winking
[01:07.62]Still he won't down you or tear out your hide
[01:09.97]On your side while the baby maker slide
[01:12.65]But mama got wise to the game
[01:14.65]The youngest of five kids, hon here it is
[01:17.01]After 10 years without no spouse
[01:19.38]Momma's gettin married in the house
[01:21.39]Listen, positive over negative for the women and master
[01:24.81]Mother Queen's risin a chapter
[01:26.66]Déjà vu, tell you what I'm gonna do
[01:28.93]When they reminisce over you, my God
[01:31.19]My God
[01:33.15]It's so
[01:37.27]Yeah, so lovely
[01:42.35]That's how we like to do it in the 90's
[01:45.51]Pete Rock & CL Smooth comin' atcha
[01:49.79]When I date back I recall a man off the family tree
[01:52.55]My right hand Poppa Doc I see
[01:54.61]Took me from a boy to a man so I always had a father
[01:57.47]When my biological didn't bother
[01:59.34]Taking care of this so who am I to bicker
[02:01.80]Not a bad ticker but I'm clocking pop's liver
[02:04.06]But you can never say that his life is through
[02:06.27]5 kids at 21 believe he got a right too
[02:08.99]Here we go while I check the scene
[02:11.10]With the Portugese Lover at the age of 14
[02:13.47]The same age, front page, no fuss
[02:15.83]But I bet you all your dough, they live longer than us
[02:18.04]Never been senile, that's where you're wrong
[02:20.52]But give the man a taste and he's gone
[02:22.68]Noddin' off, sleep to a jazz tune
[02:24.98]I can hear his head banging on the wall in the next room
[02:27.69]I get the pillow and hope I don't wake him
[02:29.91]For this man do cuss, hear it all in verbatim
[02:32.12]Telling me how to raise my boy unless he's taking over
[02:35.08]I said pop maybe when you're older
[02:36.89]We laughed all night about the hookers at the party
[02:39.10]My old man standing yelling good God, almighty
[02:41.72]Use your condom, take sips of the brew
[02:44.02]When they reminisce over you, for real
[02:46.09]For real, baby
[02:47.54]Like that
[02:50.21]We for real

[02:58.05]Pete Rock & CL Smooth
[03:00.57]Yeah, c'mon, hit me!
[03:05.28]I reminisce so you never forget this
[03:07.04]The days of wayback, so many bear witness the fitness
[03:09.60]Take the first letter out of each word in this joint
[03:12.46]Listen close as I prove my point
[03:14.47]T to the R the O-Y, how did you and I meet?
[03:17.25]In front of Big Lou's, fighting in the street
[03:19.06]But only you saw what took many time to see
[03:21.62]I dedicate this to you for believing in me
[03:24.03]Rain or shine, yes in any weather
[03:26.14]My grandmom Pam holds the family together
[03:28.46]My Uncle Doc's the greatest better yet the latest
[03:30.76]If we're talking about a car, Uncle Sterling got the latest
[03:33.02]I strive to be live cause I got no choice
[03:35.38]And run my own business like my Aunt Joyce
[03:37.89]So Pete Rock hit me, nuff respect due
[03:40.20]When they reminisce over you, listen
[03:42.62]Listen, just listen
[03:46.54]To the funky song as I rock on
[03:50.56]And that's word is bond
[03:53.37]I'm not playin

[04:01.66]To the one and only
