       B
I grew up without a father
                                  E
He's been locked up since ninety-six
              G#m7                         F#/A#
But there's another man, he ain't here no more
                     E
That raised me as a kid

We used to ride out to the battlefield
And he'd tell me stories 'bout the past
He taught me the things he knew I'd need to know
And answered all the questions that I'd ask

G#m                          F#
I hope he's smiling up there lookin' down
E                                 C#m7
And proud of this wild child that came around

Chorus:
          B
I got my pop's last name
Still feel his hand here on my shoulder
         E
I still hear him say
"You'll understand when you get older"
  F#                            B/D#
Today, I couldn't be any more grateful,
                       E
thankful, or proud to say
          B
I got my pop's last name
          E
I got my pop's last name

He taught me, "Yes, Ma'am", "No, Ma'am"
"God is good" and "God is great"
Taught me elbows off the table
And always clean your plate (Ooh)
He said knowledge over money (Ooh-ooh, ooh)
'Cause the ones with money always pay
He left little bits of gold like that
all over the place

Chorus

G#m                F#
He gave it to his daughter and me
           E                           B
Along with all that love and all that time
G#m                  F#
And now here I am a father, proud to be
 E
Giving his to mine

Chorus:
My pop's last name
Still feel his hand here on my shoulder
My pop's last name
I understand now that I'm older
Today, I couldn't be any more grateful,
thankful or proud to say
I got my pop's last name
I got my pop's last name
Yeah

Rest in peace, Pop, I love you, buddy
