Biological Didn't Bother (G-Funk Version)

Yo, yo, I want to dedicated 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 I'm concerned, he's my father

'Cause my biological didn't bother

Biological father, left me in the cold, when a few months old

Aa father's child was greater than gold but I guess not

You brought me into the world but you're 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 York to Jersey City, women and child alone

Noww that's pressure, mom's 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 y'all

Moms got that good ol' job at city hall

She probably didn't trust men anymore

Until Philip Harrison walk though the door

Went out a few times but what about Shaquille

Mom's offered him a million dollar package deal

She said, "You want me, you gotta take my son"

Or else it's 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 didn't bother

He took me from a boy to a man

So Phil is my father 'cause my biological didn't bother

He took me from a boy to a man

So Phil is my father 'cause my biological didn't bother

He took me from a boy to a man

So Phil is my father 'cause my biological didn't bother

He took me from a boy to a man

So Phil is my father 'cause my biological didn't bother

January fifth, Phil made a promise, what's that?

He joined the army, we moved to Fort Mamth

He disciplined me right from the get go

Age two bottle and my mom shaquille let go

Actin' spoiled, rotten, trippin'

Got a butt whippin' because I didn't listen

Back then you see privates made no bucks

Had to get another job driven trucks

Workin' hard as hell didn't satisfy him

Had to another job working at the gym

He wasn't gone with the wind like Clark Gable

Work all them jobs to put food on the table

Phil's my father, daddy and that's 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 didn't 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 wasn't 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 couldn't play sports

I learned to dribble from right to left, I couldn't do a damn thang

With all them F's, age fifteen father and son confrontation

That's nothin' but father and son trials and tribulation

Back then I could understand but I'm glad you did it

'Cause now I'm a man, he took me from a boy to a man

So Phil is my father 'cause my biological didn't bother

He took me from a boy to a man

So Phil is my father 'cause my biological didn't bother(4x)

Look at me now successful for sure

Phil raised me well to be an entrepeneur

And if your making big **** be materialistic

'Cause you'll end up another statistic

Everything's going well following my dreams

I dunked on Patrick Ewing, I won the ring like Hakeem

Oh, what do you know? Biological one's on the Ricky Lake show

What 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, check it

He can go on all the talk shows he want phil is my dad

So don't even front, he took me from a boy to a man

So Phil is my father 'cause my biological didn't bother
