(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 |
| [02:52.97] |
Comin' atcha |
| [02:54.83] |

| [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 |
| [03:55.69] |
Everybody, just coolin |
| [03:59.35] |
This song we dedicate |
| [04:01.66] |
To the one and only |
| [04:04.12] |
Never be another |
| [04:06.96] |
He was my brother |
| [04:08.37] |
Trouble T-Roy |
| [04:11.68] |
It's like that y'all |
| [04:13.04] |
And you don't stop |
| [04:16.41] |
Pete Rock and CL Smooth for '92 |
| [04:21.64] |
And we out, later |
