Yo, yo, I want to this song to Philip Arthur Harrison Word up, he was the one who took me from a boy to a man So as far as I'm concerned, my father 'Cause my biological didn't

So we left you no remorsal pity, took the first bus From York to Jersey City, women and alone Noww that's pressure, got to go to work, drop me off By Obesa momma, aunt DeDe, whoever aunt Falma, Roy We stuck together, a year by and I could walk y'all
got that good ol' job at city hall She didn't trust men anymore Until Philip Harrison walk the door Went out a few but what about Shaquille Mom's offered him a million dollar package She said, "You want me, you take my son"
