[Am](I remin[G]isce, I reminisce-nisce)
(I [Em]reminisce, I reminisce-nisce)
[Am](I remin[G]isce, I reminisce-nisce)

[Am](I remin[G]isce, I reminisce-nisce)
(I [Em]reminisce)

[Verse 1]
I remi[Am]nisce for a [G]spell, or shall I say
think back
Twenty-two years a[Em]go to keep it on track
The [Am]birth of a child [G]on the eighth of October
A toast but my [Em]granddaddy came sober
[Am]Countin' all the fingers [G]and the toes
Now I suppose, you hope
the little black [Em]boy grows, huh
[Am]Eighteen years [G]younger than my mama
But I really got beatings [Em]'cause
the girl loved drama
[Am]In single parentho[G]od there I stood
By the time she was twenty-[Em]one
had another one
[Am]This one's a girl [G](what?), let's name her Pam
Same father as the first
[Em]but you don't give a damn
[Am]Irresponsi[G]ble, plain not thinking
Papa said, "Chill" [Em]but the brother
keep winking
[Am]Still he won't down [G]you or tear out your hide
On your side [Em]while the baby maker slide
[Am]But mama got w[G]ise to the game
The youngest of five [Em]kids, hon' here it is
[Am]After ten [G]years without no spouse
Momma's gettin' married [Em]in the house
Listen
[Am]Positive over [G]negative
for the women to master
Mother [Em]queen's risin' a chapter
[Am]Déjà vu, [G]tell you what I'm gonna do
When they reminisce [Em]over you, my God

[Bridge 1]
My [Am]God[G][Em]
It's [Am]so[G][Em]
Yeah, so [Am]lovely[G]
That's how we like to do it [Em]in the 90s
[Am]Pete[G] Rock and C.L. Smooth
[Em]comin' atcha

[Verse 2]
When I [Am]date back I [G]recall a man off
the family tree
My right hand [Em]Poppa doc I see (woo)
[Am]Took me from a boy [G]to a man
so I always had a father
When my bio[Em]logical didn't bother (yeah)
[Am]Taking care of [G]this, so who am I to bicker?
Not a bad ticker [Em]but I'm clocking Pop's liver
But [Am]you can never say [G]that his life is through
Five kids at twenty-[Em]one,
believe he got a right to
[Am]Here we go while[G] I check the scene
With the Portuguese lover
[Em]at the age of fourteen
[Am]The same age, fron[G]t page, no fuss
But I bet you all your dough they [Em]live
longer than us
[Am]Never been se[G]nile, that's where you're wrong
But give the man a taste [Em]and he's gone
[Am]Noddin' off, sleep [G]to a jazz tune
I can hear his head banging [Em]on the wall
in the next room
[Am]I get the pill[G]ow and hope I don't wake him
For this man to cuss, [Em]hear it all in verbatim
[Am]Telling me how to raise [G]my boy
unless he's taking over
I said, [Em]"Pop maybe when you're older"
We [Am]laughed all night a[G]bout the hookers
at the party
My old man standing [Em]yelling,
"Good God, Almighty"
[Am]Use your condom, t[G]ake sips of the brew
When they reminisce [Em]over you, for real

[Bridge 2]
For [Am]real, baby
[G]Like tha[Em]t
We for [Am]real
[G]Comin' atc[Em]ha
[Am]In '92[G]
[Em]Pete Rock and CL Smooth
[Am]Yeah[G], c'mon, h[Em]it me

[Verse 3]
I remi[Am]nisce so you never [G]forget this
The days of way-back, so many [Em]bear
witness the fitness
[Am]Take the first letter [G]out of each word
in this joint
Listen close [Em]as I prove my point
[Am]T to the R the-O-Y[G], how did you and I meet?
In front of Big [Em]Lou's, fighting in the street
But [Am]only you saw [G]what took many time to see
I dedicate [Em]this to you for believing in me
[Am]Rain or shin[G]e, yes, in any weather
My Grandma Pam [Em]holds the family together
My [Am]Uncle Doc's the great[G]est,
better yet the latest
If we're talking 'bout a car,
[Em]Uncle Sterling got the latest
I [Am]strive to be live [G]'cause I got no choice
And run my own [Em]business like my Aunt Joyce
So [Am]Pete Rock hit [G]me, 'nough respect due
When they reminisce [Em]over you, listen

[Outro 1]
[Am]Listen, [G]just lis[Em]ten
To the funky [Am]song [G]as I rock on[Em]
And that's word is [Am]bond[G]
I'm not [Em]playin'
Every[Am]body, [G]just coolin'
[Em]This song we dedicate
[Am]To t[G]he one and only
Never [Em]be another
He was [Am]my br[G]other
Trouble [Em]T-Roy
It's like [Am]that [G]y'all
And [Em]you don't stop
[Am]Pete[G] Rock and C.L. Smo[Em]oth for '92
[Am]And [G]we out, [Em]later
[Am][G][Em]
[Fade out]
