Yo, yo, I to dedicated this song to Philip Arthur Harrison Word up, 'cause he was the one who me from a boy to a man So as far as I'm concerned, my father 'Cause my biological bother
Biological father, left me in the cold, a few months old Aa father's child was greater gold but I guess not You brought me the world but you're not my dad Mess around with those makes my moms mad
So we left you with no pity, took the first bus York to Jersey City, women and child alone Noww that's pressure, got to go to work, drop me off By Obesa momma, DeDe, whoever aunt Falma, uncle Roy We stuck together, a year by and I could walk y'all
Moms got that ol' job at city hall She probably didn't trust men Until Philip Harrison though the door Went out a few times but what Shaquille Mom's offered him a million dollar deal She said, "You want me, you take my son"
Or else it's like a hot dog but the bun Guess what he accepted, he never left it He kept it, he it he took me from a boy to a man So Phil is my father, 'cause my biological bother
He took me a boy to a man So is my father 'cause my biological didn't bother He took me a boy to a man So is my father 'cause my biological didn't bother
He took me a boy to a man So Phil is my father 'cause my biological bother He me from a boy to a man So Phil is my father my biological didn't bother
January fifth, made a promise, what's that? He joined the army, we to Fort Mamth He disciplined me from the get go Age two and my mom shaquille let go Actin' spoiled, rotten,
Got a butt whippin' because I listen Back then you see privates made no Had to get another job driven Workin' as hell didn't satisfy him Had to another job at the gym
He wasn't with the wind like Clark Gable Work all them jobs to put food on the Phil's my father, and that's the scoop Can I go to the gym with you and shoot hoops Come on he, put me his wing
Was the ball boy for his little team Sometimes he made me mad but it didn't matter 'Cause I still wanted to be like dad but a bit better Encouraged me to stay in school and to get then letters I wasn't a brainiac but I tried
Got to watch the knicks, play if I had a good report All types, all sorts, disobeyed my dad and I play sports I learned to dribble right to left, I couldn't do a damn thang With all them F's, age fifteen father and son
That's nothin' but father and son and tribulation Back then I could understand but I'm you did it 'Cause now I'm a man, he me from a boy to a man So Phil is my father 'cause my didn't bother
He me from a boy to a man So Phil is my father 'cause my didn't bother
Look at me now for sure Phil raised me well to be an And if your making big be materialistic 'Cause end up another statistic going well following my dreams
I dunked on Ewing, I won the ring like Hakeem Oh, what do you know? Biological one's on the Lake show does he want, does he want money? What people do for money It's kinda funny to me, he ain't gettin' no check from me, it
He can go on all the shows he want phil is my dad So don't even front, he took me a boy to a man So Phil is my father my biological didn't bother
He me from a boy to a man So is my father 'cause my biological didn't bother
