Verse one:



[cl]



I reminisce for a spellor 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 supposeyou hope the little black boy growshuh

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 21had another one

This one's a girllet's name her pam

Same father as the first but you don't give a damn

Irresponsibleplain not thinking

Papa said chill but the brother keep winking

Still he won't 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 kidshon here it is

After 10 years without no spouse

Momma's gettin married in the house

Listenpositive over negative for the women and master

Mother queen's risin a chapter

Deja vutell you what I'm gonna do

When they reminisce over youmy god

Yeahso lovely

That's how we like to do it in the 90's

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 didn't bother

Taking care of this so who am I to bicker

Not a bad ticker but I'm clocking pop's 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 agefront pageno fuss

But I bet you all your doughthey live longer than us

Never been senilethat's where you're wrong

But give the man a taste and he's gone

Noddin offsleep 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

For this man do cusshear it all in verbatim

Telling me how to raise my boy unless he's taking over

I said pop maybe when you're older

We laughed all night about the hookers at the party

My old man standing yelling good godalmighty

Use your condomtake sips of the brew

When they reminisce over youfor real



[pete rock]



For realbaby

Like that

We for real

Comin' atcha...

In '92

Pete rock & cl smooth

Yeahc'monhit me!



Verse three:



[cl]



I reminisce so you never forget this

The days of waybackso 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-yhow did you and I meet? 

In front of big lou'sfighting in the street

But only you saw what took many time to see

I dedicate this to you for believing in me

Rain or shineyes in any weather

My grandmom pam holds the family together

My uncle doc's the greatest better yet the latest

If we're talking about a caruncle 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 menuff respect due

When they reminisce over youlisten



[pete rock]



Listenjust listen

To the funky song as I rock on

And that's word is bond

I'm not playin

Everybodyjust 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 outlater
