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 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 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 He took me from a boy to a man So Phil is my father 'cause my biological didn't bother
