[Intro] (Petey Pablo talking) I ain't seen my dad since my Granddaddy passed I ain't even been by the house to see none of em' My Grandma or nothing Ya' know, It was three of us Now one of us gone But there some unanswered questions pop
[Verse 1: Petey Pablo] You and momma seemed fine when y'all was dating She was seventeen you was twenty two when you signed papers Gave her your last name Last name Why do I have your last name If, you wasn't there to take care of the responsibility of the child that you brought here Heh, talk to me Pop I ain't being rude or nothing, talk to me Pop I look just like ya' I'm a chip off the old block Ain't that what they say Pop You know whats funny Cause now I'm on top And I don't need Pop But I still acknowledge See the problem was a problem But it's no longer a problem Cause now I'm grown up Pop And you don't owe me an explanation But I want an explanation Why, because I want one Pop
