Yo, Yo I want to dedicate this song to Philip Arthur Harrison Word up Cause he was the one who took me from a boy to a man So as far as Im concerned, he is my father cause my biological didnt bother [Verse 1] Biological father, left me in the cold, when a few months old Aa fathers child was greater than gold but I guess not You brought me into the world but youre not my dad Mess around with those drugs makes my moms mad So we left you with no remorsal pity Took the first bus from Newark to Jersey City Woman and child alone, now thats pressure Moms got to go to work, drop me off by Obesa Momma, Aunt DeDe, whoever Aunt Falma, Uncle Roy we stuck together A year went by and I could walk yall Moms got that good ol job at city hall She probably didnt trust men anymore Until Philip Harrison walk though the door Went out a few times but what about Shaquille Moms offered him a million dollar package deal She said you want me you gotta take my son Or else its like a hot dog but without the bun Guess what he accepted, responsibility he never left it He kept it, he kept it He took me from a boy to a man so Phil is my father Cause my biological didnt bother [Hook] Took me from a boy to a man So I always had a father When my biological didnt bother 4x [Verse 2] January 5th Phil made a promise whats that He joined the army we moved to fort Monmouth He disciplined me right from the get go Age 2 bottle and my Mom shaquille let go Actin spoiled, rotten, trippin Got a butt whippin because I didnt listen Back then you see privates made no bucks Had to get another job driven trucks Workin hard as hell didnt satisfy him Had to another job working at the gym He wasnt Gone with the Wind like Clark Gable Work all them jobs to put food on the table Phils my father, daddy and thats the scoop Can I go to the gym with you and shoot some hoops Come on he put me under his wing Was the ball boy for his little Arthur team Sometimes he even made me mad But it didnt matter cause I still wanted to be like dad But a little bit better Encouraged me to stay in school and to get then good letters I wasnt a brainiac but I tried hard Got to watch the Knicks play if I had a good report card All types, all sorts Disobeyed my dad and I couldnt play sports I learned to dribble from right to left I couldnt do a damn thang with all them Fs Age 15 father and son confrontation thats nothin But father and son trials and tribulation Back then I could under stand but Im glad you did it Cause now Im a man He took me from a boy to a man so Phil is my father Cause my biological didnt bother chorus [Verse 3] Look at me now successful for sure Phil raised me well, to be an entrepreneur And if youre making big dope be materialistic Cause youll end up another statistic Everythings going well following my dreams I dunked on Patrick Ewing I want the ring like Hakeem Uh oh what do you know Biological ones on the Ricky Lake show What does he want, does he want money What people do for money!!! Its kinda funny to me He aint gettin no check from me check it He can go on all the talk shows he want Phil is my dad so dont even front He took me from a boy to a man so Phil is my father Cause my biological didnt bother Chorus
