Biological Didn't Bother (Original Flow)

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 your 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 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 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

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 didn't bother

[chorus] He took me from a boy to a man so Phil is my father

cause my biological didn't bother. [x4]

January 5th 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 2 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 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 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 15 father and son confrontation that's nothin

but father and son trials and tribulation

Back then I could under stand 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

[chorus]

Look at me now successful for sure

Phil raised me well, to be an entrepeneur

and if your making big dope 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

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!!!

It's 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 didn't bother

[Chorus]
