More details to this question:
Well when I was young my father was naturalized as U.S citizen, I lived in the U.S from the age of 9 till 21. When I was 17 years old I caught a possession of cocaine, delivery and resisting arrest I received for years in prison plus deported after my time served. I had a social security card and everything my dad applied for all of us but I didn’t understand how I could deported if my dad being naturalized made me also a citizen. Can u shed some light in this situation so I would know what steps to take?

You may be a U.S. citizen by way of your father, but if that was not brought to the attention of the court, they would deport you. Did you have a lawyer? You need to call a lawyer to provide some additional details. Even if you were deported, if you can prove your citizenship you will be able to return.
