Dad: `that`s How You Got Your Name` (intro) Lyrics
And when we recorded, (chuckles) we recorded your first sound, on the, cassette
tape. You, you were crying, I guess you came out rapping, (chuckles). You had
alot to say, in fact, uh, we, we didn't have a name for you at that time. And
um, I remember, they wouldn't let you leave the hospital with us, until we had
a name for you, and, we asked the, the doctor who delivered you, who actually
delivered mama's youngest brother. I, I asked him, I said, well what's a name
you haven't heard in a long time, because we, I remember we had a lot of
discussion on what your name was going to be if you were a boy or a girl, and
uh, he said well I havent heard the name Jonah, for quite some time, because
you were special, to us, so you were going to have a special name. So we said,
we'll name, I said, well what if, we don't have a name, and he said well, were,
well you can't leave the ba-, leave the hospital with a, with, with baby "x".
(Chuckles) You were going to be baby "x". So I said well we'll name him Jonah,
and I said do you like that name. And she said, yeah, we'll name him Jonah. And
that's how you got your name.
