Yo, yo, I to dedicated this song to Philip Arthur Harrison Word up, 'cause he was the one who took me a boy to a man So as far as I'm concerned, he's my 'Cause my biological didn't
Biological father, me in the cold, when a few months old Aa father's child was greater gold but I guess not You me into 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 From York to Jersey City, women and child Noww pressure, mom's 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 good ol' job at hall She probably didn't trust men Until Philip walk though the door Went out a few but what about Shaquille Mom's offered him a dollar package deal She said, "You want me, you take my son"
Or else it's like a hot dog but the bun what he accepted, responsibility he never left it He kept it, he kept it 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 'cause my biological bother He me from 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 He me from a boy to a man So Phil is my father my biological didn't bother
January fifth, Phil made a promise, that? He joined the army, we moved to Mamth He disciplined me right the get go Age two and my mom shaquille let go spoiled, rotten, trippin'
Got a butt whippin' because I didn't Back you see privates made no bucks Had to get job driven trucks Workin' hard as didn't satisfy him Had to another job at the gym
He wasn't gone with the wind like Clark Work all jobs to put food on the table Phil's my father, daddy and the scoop Can I go to the gym you and shoot some hoops Come on he, put me his wing
Was the boy for his little Arthur team Sometimes he made me mad but it didn't matter I still wanted to be like dad but a little bit better Encouraged me to stay in school and to get then good I wasn't a brainiac but I tried
Got to the knicks, play if I had a good report card All types, all sorts, disobeyed my dad and I couldn't sports I learned to from right to left, I couldn't do a damn thang With all them F's, age father and son confrontation
nothin' but father and son trials and tribulation Back then I understand but I'm glad 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 took me a boy to a man So Phil is my father 'cause my biological didn't
Look at me now for sure Phil me well to be an entrepeneur And if your making big be materialistic 'Cause you'll end up statistic Everything's well following my dreams
I dunked on Ewing, I won the ring like Hakeem Oh, do you know? Biological one's on the Ricky 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 talk he want phil is my dad So don't even front, he me from 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
