[Intro]

Doh-doh-doh

Real life situation (This is when shit turns into work!), the names have been changed (Right here, this is when the shit... this is why the checks is sent(?)), niggas go through this (the names has been changed)


[Verse 1]

Uh, uh

One day I was chilling in the crib, rocking the PS3

Until the telephone rang, wondering who it could be

Looked at the caller ID, never seen this number befo´

But I answered the bitch anyway, hello

The man on the other end said "Good evening"

Is this Mr. Franklin with whom I´m speaking

And I said yes, indeed it is

Now pardon my French, who the fuck is this

My name is Bryce and excuse me bro

But I´m calling on behalf of the Maury Show

Judy Jetson gave birth to a daughter

And submitted your name as the definite father

We think paternity test is in orda´

If you want one, we´ll fly you out tomorra´

And I said yes, I´ll hop on that Jet

To come out there and prove my point

Cause if you know me, you know no poking

Unless I got a Magnum on my joint

Now I´m having sex flashbacks

In this truck

I remember that night when the condom bust

Time past then, damm it´s been about 12 months

How many months is the child

Three?

Fuck! That sound about right

First I thought I wasn´t, but now I think I might

Be raising a little girl

Butterflies on the flight

Spitta welcome to the real world

Tires screeching

Plane is landing

Trying not to think about what´s happening

Checked into my hotel room

And lit a fat one

Watching cartoons but a nigga wasn´t laughin´

Cause my mind elsewhere

Front desk called said the limo´s downstairs

Too bring me to the set where they tapin´ the show

Now I´m in the green room pacin´ the floor

When they call me out to the stage

The women in the crowd all look at me with hate

The men look at me with expressions that say

"Damn youngster, hope it all go your way"

They put pictures of me and baby side-by-side

The crowed sighed when they saw how much we look alike

Even Maury said we had the same eyes

Funny how one night can rearrange a whole life

Took a commercial break and came back

An assistant dropped a folder in his lap

He pulls out a envelope and holds it up

Says these are the results

And then the crowd hushed

Suspense was building in the buildin´

I hope my parents is ready for grandchildren

Cause I might just have one to give them

Cause if it´s my baby I´ma man up, pilgrim

The test results are unfolded

He lowers his brow as he looks over it

Looks up grinnin´ and says: Relax pimpin´

The bitch lyin´ that ain´t your


[Outro]

That is not my B-A-B-Y

Not, my B-A-B-Y


That is not my B-A-B-Y

Not, my B-A-B-Y


That is not my B-A-B-Y

Not, my B-A-B-Y


Shorty you can take me to Maury, I´m not claiming her

“I hope my parents is ready for grandchildren Cause I might just have one to give them Cause if it´s my baby I´ma man up, pilgrim”

Spitta is prepared to be involved in his alleged daughter’s life, finally accepting that she is his own.

“Man up, pilgrim” is a nod to the graphic novel series, Scott Pilgrim. This is the story of a teenage slacker who must “man up” and defeat the seven evil exes of his love interest.

“Time past then, damm it´s been about 12 months How many months is the child Three? Fuck!”

Spitta is realizing that the age of the baby coincides with how long it’s been since he and Ms. Jetson last had sex. He’s slowly realizing he may be it’s father.

The women in the audience already hate Spitta because they believe him to be a deadbeat, like every other guy who ends up on Maury. Meanwhile, the men are more sympathetic, hoping that, for his sake, the baby indeed isn’t his.

Spitta can’t enjoy the simple things he once did (weed and cartoons) because he’s nervous about potentially being a father.
