RAPPIN' ON LIFE

* On his recently released rap album ``Shaq-Fu: Da Return'' (Jive Records), Shaquille O'Neal pays tribute to his stepfather while rebuking his biological father, who deserted him early in life but has tried to nose in on his son's current fame. O'Neal says the song deals with what being a real man is all about. (His first album, ``Shaq Diesel'' went platinum last year.) Introductory lyrics to ``Biological Didn't Bother'' follow:

Yo Yo I want to dedicate this song

to Phillip Arthur Harrison,

`cause he was the one who took me

from boy to man.

'Cause as far as I'm concerned, he is my father,

`cause my biological didn't bother.
