[Intro]
(I reminisce, I reminisce)
(I reminisce, I reminisce)
(I reminisce, I reminisce)
I reminisce, I reminisce
Uh! (I reminisce, I reminisce)
Yeah (I reminisce, I reminisce)
(I reminisce, I reminisce)
(I reminisce, I reminisce)

[Verse 1: CL Smooth and Pete Rock]
I reminisce for a spell, or shall I say think back (Yeah)
Twenty-two years ago to keep it on track (Uh-huh)
The birth of a child on the 8th of October (It's like that)
A toast, but my granddaddy came sober
Countin' all the fingers and the toes
Now I suppose (Uh) you hope the little black boy grows (Yeah)
Huh, eighteen years younger than my mama (Mama)
But I rarely got beatings 'cause the girl loved drama (Yeah)
In single parenthood, there I stood (Huh?)
By the time she was 21, had another one (Yeah)
This one is a girl, let's name her Pam
Same father as the first, but you don't give a damn (Alright)
Irresponsible, plain not-thinking (Yeah)
Papa said "Chill", but the brother keep winking (Uh-huh)
Still he won't down you or tear out your hide (Right)
On your side while the baby maker slide (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 and a house
Listen, positive over negative for the woman and master
Mother Queen's rising a chapter
Déjà vu, tell you what I'm gonna do
When they reminisce over you, my God
