Reminisce
(专辑: 3rd Wish To Rock The World - 1999)
[This song is on SPM's album, but SPM isn't on it, only Rasheed] [First Verse:] This weed got my brain burning, Learning as the
World turning, Concerning the
truth, I
reminisce as a
youth, Mommy fighting Daddy while I'm developing in the
stomach, While he punching I'm feeling it coming I
feel the
Mama hummin, Numbing the
brain, cocaine flowing through my veins, Born addicted and picked it up in this pleasure and pain, I
guess that's the
reason for the
natural chip up on my shoulder, My children keep me from growing colder and growing bolder, I
bent the
block and think about when I
was on lock, Then got my glock and put it back up in the
stash box, So many soldiers doing life up in the
prison system, A
million eyes couldn't list 'em, so I
reminisce them, I
miss 'em, as I'm floating back to yesterday, I
sure would kiss 'em, if I
could see my 'G' again today, But now I'm up in the
studio, with my nigga Ro, Fat money G's, big T, reminisce 'em 'G' [Chorus:] Time and Time again, as I
pick up the
pen, As my thoughts emerge, these are those words, Time and Time again, as I
pick up the
pen, As my thoughts emerge, these are those words [Second Verse:] I
used to ride trains from Philly, to New York State, But now I'm on planes from Cali to Texas with Lexus plates, Hanh, even so though, I
wish I
could go back, Granny sitting while I'm throwing rocks, on the
railroad tracks, Blast "Rapper's Delight", Marvin Gaye, During that time, my Mother and Father, was out the
way, Damn, and now that I
think about it, We all been to jail, plus my teacher say "She'd never doubt it", SCHOOL, what a
fool I
was, Skipping education for the
fun to run from the
fuzz, '85, '86, crack cocaine was the
crucifix, Lucifer's mix, another level of the
Devil's tricks, Fifteen on the
scene gotta make my green, Make my weight by any means, Learning my way by street schemes, Cream, Cash Rules Everything Around Me, But I
learned not to hound the
money, but let the
money hound me, [Chorus] [Third Verse:] Nineteen Ninety-Nine, Here I
be, balling G, At the
turn of the
century, destined for death eventually, Was the
boy, cutting class and breaking rules, But now I'm the
father making sure, my children go to school, It's beautiful, but then again it's funny, Back in the
day, somebody told me life was just about bitches and money, Damn dummies, misdirected so many, Used to watch Tom & Jerry, Not about that Mr. Kenny, Wash riots, Martin Luther King, L.A. Riots, down to Rodney King, Vince is the
Mama in the
pen, got 'em backed in, But ten years later I'm doing the
same thing again my friend, Looking at my sin deep in his eyes Rivisty headed is the
lifestyle that my family lives, deeply embedded I
have to wait, watching this, I'm hoping ten years down the
line, my daughter or son'll reminisce, And miss us [Chorus]
