They Reminisce over You

[00:18.03] (I reminisce, I reminisce) x3
[00:25.13] I reminisce, I reminisce
[00:27.28] Uh! (I reminisce, I reminisce)
[00:29.15] Yeah (I reminisce, I reminisce)
[00:30.99] (I reminisce, I reminisce)
[00:32.64] (I reminisce, I reminisce)
[00:35.19] I reminisce for a spell, or shall I say think back
[00:37.67] 22 years ago to keep it on track
[00:39.59] The birth of a child on the 8th of october
[00:41.88] A toast but my granddaddy came sober
[00:43.90] Countin all the fingers and the toes
[00:46.43] Now I suppose, you hope the little black boy grows, huh
[00:48.97] 18 years younger than my mama
[00:51.66] But I really got beatings cause the girl loved drama
[00:53.76] In single parenthood there I stood
[00:56.41] By the time she was 21, had another one
[00:58.14] This one's a girl, let's name her pam
[01:00.82] Same father as the first but you don't give a damn
[01:03.17] Irresponsible, plain not thinking
[01:05.61] Papa said chill but the brother keep winking
[01:08.56] Still he won't down you or tear out your hide
[01:10.48] On your side while the baby maker slide
[01:13.23] But mama got wise to the game
[01:15.09] The youngest of five kids, hon here it is
[01:17.55] After 10 years without no spouse
[01:19.86] Momma's gettin married in the house
[01:22.11] Listen, positive over negative for the women and master
[01:24.98] Mother queen's risin a chapter
[01:27.27] Deja vu, tell you what I'm gonna do
[01:29.79] When they reminisce over you, my god
[01:32.01] My god
[01:34.10] It's so...
[01:36.42] Yeah, so lovely
[01:43.99] That's how we like to do it in the 90's
[01:47.06] Pete rock & cl smooth comin' atcha...
[01:50.62] When I date back I recall a man off the family tree
[01:53.13] My right hand poppa doc I see
[01:55.65] Took me from a boy to a man so I always had a father
[01:58.10] When my biological didn't bother
[02:00.01] Taking care of this so who am I to bicker
[02:02.54] Not a bad ticker but I'm clocking pop's liver
[02:04.80] But you can never say that his life is through
[02:07.14] 5 kids at 21 believe he got a right too
[02:09.82] Here we go while I check the scene
[02:12.17] With the portugese lover at the age of 14
[02:14.62] The same age, front page, no fuss
[02:16.53] But I bet you all your dough, they live longer than us
[02:19.22] Never been senile, that's where you're wrong
[02:21.53] But give the man a taste and he's gone
[02:23.61] Noddin off, sleep to a jazz tune
[02:26.14] I can hear his head banging on the wall in the next room
[02:28.48] I get the pillow and hope I don't wake him
[02:30.71] For this man do cuss, hear it all in verbatim
[02:33.28] Telling me how to raise my boy unless he's taking over
[02:36.18] I said pop maybe when you're older
[02:38.05] We laughed all night about the hookers at the party
[02:40.15] My old man standing yelling good god, almighty
[02:42.70] Use your condom, take sips of the brew
[02:44.94] When they reminisce over you, for real
[02:47.21] For real, baby
[02:49.99] Like that

[03:08.78] The days of wayback, so many bear witness the fitness
[03:11.04] Take the first letter out of each word in this joint
[03:13.34] Listen close as I prove my point
[03:15.69] T to the r-uh-o-y, how did you and I meet?
[03:18.89] In front of big lou's, fighting in the street
[03:20.45] But only you saw what took many time to see
[03:22.54] I dedicate this to you for believing in me
[03:25.21] Rain or shine, yes in any weather
[03:27.33] My grandmom pam holds the family together
[03:29.86] My uncle doc's the greatest better yet the latest
[03:31.95] If we're talking about a car, uncle sterling got the latest

[03:36.70] And run my own business like my aunt joyce
