(I reminisce, I reminisce) x3

I reminisce, I reminisce

Uh! (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 one's a girl, let's name her Pam

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

Irresponsible, plain 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 kids, hon here it is

After 10 years without no spouse

Momma's gettin married in the house

Listen, positive over negative for the women and master

Mother Queen's risin a chapter

Deja vu, tell you what I'm gonna do

When they reminisce over you, my God

My God

It's so...

Yeah, so lovely

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