They Reminisce Over You

Intro：
(i reminisce, i reminisce) x3
I reminisce, i reminisce
Uh! (i reminisce, i reminisce)
Yeah (i reminisce, i reminisce)
(i reminisce , i reminisce)
(i reminisce, i reminisce)
Verse one:
[cl]
I reminisce for a spell, or shall i say think back
22 years ago to keep it on track
The birth of a child on the 8th of october
A toast but my granddaddy came sober
Countin all the fingers and the toes
Now i suppose, you hope the little black boy grows, huh
18 years younger than my mama
But i really got beatings cause the girl loved drama
In single parenthood there i stood
By the time she was 21, had another one
This ones a girl, lets name her pam
Same father as the first but you dont give a damn
Irresponsible, plain not thinking
Papa said chill but the brother keep winking
Still he wont down you or tear out your hide
On your side while the baby maker slide
But mama got wise to the game
The youngest of five kids, hon here it is
After 10 years without no spouse
Mommas gettin married in the house
Listen, positive over negative for the women and master
Mother queens risin a chapter
Deja vu, tell you what im gonna do
When they reminisce over you, my god
[pete rock]
My god
Its so...
Yeah, so lovely
Thats how we like to do it in the 90s
Pete rock & cl smooth comin atcha. ..
Verse two:
[cl]
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 didnt bother
Taking care of this so who am i to bicker
Not a bad ticker but im clocking pops liver
But you can never say that his life is through
5 kids at 21 believe he got a right too
Here we go while i check the scene
With the portugese lover at the age of 14
The same age, front page, no fuss
But i bet you all your dough, they live longer than us
Never been senile, thats where youre wrong
But give the man a taste and hes 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 dont wake him
For this man do cuss, hear it all in verbatim
Telling me how to raise my boy unless hes taking over
I said pop maybe when youre older
We laughed all night about the hookers at the party
My old man standing yelling good god, almighty
Use your condom, take sips of the brew
When they reminisce over you, for real
[pete rock]
For real, baby
Like that
We for real
Comin atcha...
In 92
Pete rock & cl smooth
Yeah, cmon, hit me!
Verse three:
[cl]
I reminisce so you never forget this
The days of wayback, so many bear witness the fitness
Take the first letter out of each word in this joint
Listen close as i prove my point
T to the r-uh-o-y, how did you and i meet?
In front of big lous, 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
My grandmom pam holds the family together
My uncle docs the greatest better yet the latest
If were talking about a car, uncle sterling got the latest
I strive to be live cause i got no choice
And run my own business like my aunt joyce
So pete rock hit me, nuff respect due
When they reminisce over you, listen
[pete rock]
Listen, just listen
To the funky song as i rock on
And thats word is bond
Im not playin
Everybody, just coolin
This song we dedicate
To the one and only
Never be another
He was my brother
Trouble t-roy
Its like that yall
And you dont stop
Pete rock and cl smooth for 92
And we out, later
