[Verse 1: Ritchie With a T]They ask me “Hey brotha how u doin”I give the response that your supposed to answer withAnd that's the- you know it's never the truthEspecially when you a starving artist and these beats is your cancer sticksYou got a beat I can dismantle itManifest with a flow meltin your favorite record on wax like candle stickWhack emcees you know they can't handle itBut the honest truth is I can't eitherGot a bunch of what if questions in my headLike what if me and my father patched up our relationship before he was deadHow would things be differentWhat kind of person would I be insteadAll I got is a bunch a texts I already readAnd some I never answered toA selfish and angry individual who told himself that his hands were fullBut you know they had a pen and a pad an excuse or twoNow all I got is this name I was given by you[Verse 2: Stepa J Groggs]What's in a name, that which we call a roseBy any other name would it smell as sweetSo you telling me if my mom never adopted meI would of grew up on them Chi-town streetsAnd there would be no Stepa, no J GroggsI never think about this cause it never really hurts you seeNo animosity to the woman that gave birth to meI ain't mad at you, it actually worked out perfectlyEven though I got a big brother that I'll never get to meet or knowBut I just keep it moving, guess that's what feet are forI should really thank you, life for me has been beautifulAnd I hope for you the same is trueI'm sure giving up a child is the hardest thing to doJust know that I keep you in my prayers tooAnd I'll always be thankful for this name that wasn't given by you[Bridge: Stepa J Groggs]Heard this beat and I thought of youI heard this beat and I thought of youHeard this beat and I thought of you(oh oh oh oh)I thought of youI heard this beat and I thought of youHeard this beat and I thought of you(oh oh oh oh)
