Verse:
Em             D              C
  Just turned 21 when Anisha called me
                     D            Em
She's talkin' 'bout who my father was
                 D                 C
Thought it was another woman mama told me
               D                Em
Sometimes the lies come out of love

Chorus:
                                C
It don't mean nothing when you take the blame
      D
If I don't know where I'm from
                               Em
It don't mean nothing when you say my name
        D
If I'm not my father's son

               C
Lord take me away
                D
I'm burning in shame

  They call me Ricky's boy like it's the old me
                 D                 Em
Who I've had to get it all out the mud
                        D
When I looked into his eyes man
                  C
The truth it destroyed me

Mmm mm mm
                     D                Em
'Cause now I really know who's in my blood

        D
If I'm not my father's son

                              C
It don't mean nothing if you can't forget
         D
All his wrongs from the start
           Em                      D
Maybe that man was just trying to live
              Cmaj7
With a broken heart

I'm running in place

                               Em
It don't mean nothing when you say my name
        D
If I'm not my father's son
