As soon as I heard the beat for “Parental Advisory,” I knew I’d use it for the first song on “Live From Fatherhood.” The beat for “Parental Advisory” samples a classical piece composed by J.S. Bach, in tune with the album’s initial classical theme. After years of not recording music, “Parental Advisory” was the first song I recorded for “Live From Fatherhood.” It took the longest to record due to rust. I was too excited and had to better manage my adrenaline distribution. The title “Parental Advisory” also is a warning of the explicit content to come, with a lot of fuckin’ cussin’.
The Impact of My Kids on Me
This song, my album, starts off with banter with my daughters. Although I have a lot of humorous lines throughout the entirety of ‘Live From Fatherhood,’ my kids serve as comedic relief from the seriousness of the subject matter. In the first verse, I get straight to it, “Having kids was the best thing to happen to me. It’s like they gave me permission to focus on me. Had I did it prior to their arrival, I’d be a better father and provider.”
The Unpredictable Ride of Parenthood
My kids, with their charming interruptions, remind me life doesn’t always follow a plan. However, the real challenge? “Other adults that I gotta deal with, who want more attention than my own children,” I rapped. Co-parenting, child support, and courts. “Parental Advisory” unravels the unpredictability of fatherhood.
Sibling Rivalry and Unconditional Love
I’m not one of those parents who insists every sacrifice I make is for my kids; they are not. If I were pressed to give the most important line on ‘Live From Fatherhood,’ it’d be “Everything I do is for me, but I’m tryna make sure my kids are beneficiaries.” In the second verse, I also admit the nightmare that is sibling rivalry. “I can’t force y’all to be best friends. But, if I had one wish, that’d probably be it,” I rapped to my kids, planting seeds of understanding for their future.
The Father’s Pride
Throughout “Parental Advisory,” I take pride in being a father. I proudly proclaim, “I’m the greatest father ever. I’ll give that title to you, um, never.” It’s a reflection of my unwavering love and commitment to my kids. They’re my top priority, and I stand with them through it all.
Celebrating Authentic Fatherhood
“Parental Advisory” offers a glimpse into my life as a father, sharing genuine experiences, emotions, and warnings of parenting. It’s challenging yet rewarding.
Ladaryl, the rapper, and Ladaryl, the father, coexist in this song, showing that, despite the challenges, the adventure of fatherhood is a beautiful and profoundly meaningful one. “Yep, still learning. Welcome to the journey.”
Parental Advisory lyrics
“Live from fatherhood.” “Live, not farterhood, fatherhood.” “I said fa…”
Having kids was the best thing to happen to me. It’s like they gave me permission to focus on me. Had I did it prior to their arrival, I’d be a better father and provider. It’s kinda hard to forgive myself. But I do feel better the more money I make. Well, until the time I don’t spend. It’s like an endless cycle of parental guilt. Know what makes parenting so motherfucking challenging?
Other adults that I gotta deal with, who want more attention than my own children and don’t wanna be responsible for their own feelings. And I ain’t even talking co-parenting. Now, that shit can get so damaging. How two people get together fuck, have kids can’t even communicate? Now, that shit embarrassin’. And then there’s child support. Boi, that type of shit would never happen to me. I’ll give my baby mama way more money than any child support court could ever enforce. It’s not about being morally correct.
I just don’t want the courts in my shit. Ain’t no random ass judge gon’ be telling me what’s in the best interest of my muthafucking kids.
Been a father for 8 years. Yep, still learning. Welcome to the journey. You are live from fatherhood, for real. Hold up! My kids keep fucking up my recordings. Chill! Parenting is so challenging. You ain’t no lie from me. Aye, I got cho’ explicit content and yo’ parental advisory. Hm. Been a father for 8 years. Yep, still learning.
Welcome to the journey. You are live from fatherhood, for real. They really fucking up my recordings. Chill! Parenting is so challenging. You ain’t no lie from me. Aye, I got cho’ explicit content and yo’ parental advisory.
Siblings Rivalry. Hm! That’s a nightmare right there. You weren’t convinced to be unhealthy lifetime competitors. I should know. I was right there. I can’t force y’all to be best friends. But, if I had one wish that’d probably be it.
Already have to parent with pop culture. It’ll be a lot easier if y’all were closer. But, it’s the teenage years I’m supposed to fear. No, I’ll be too happy to make it there. See, everything I do is for me. But, I’m try’na making sure my kids are beneficiaries. I know too many parents who’ve died, leaving kids behind who will never hear their voice. And every story their parents make an appearance in from somebody else experience. Read an article that claimed a parent’s brain is similar to that of a serial killer.
Because we’re always thinking sadistic, trying to prevent the shit from happening to our children. You know what? That’s so true. Well, I sho’ll do. Think of murdering everybody over my kids but if I go that route, cops lock me down. Who the hell gon’ protect ’em from the next one? Man, parenting is such a dilemma. Imma prove that I love my kids for sure. And I ain’t letting shit hinder my agenda. Not even my expectations for ’em. It may appear that I have morals. You know, shit that I stand for.
No, my kids are the expectation. Whatever happens, I stand with them. I am the greatest. Nope, nope, nope I’m not just talking rapper. I’m the greatest father ever. I’ll give that title to you, um, never. I am the greatest. Listen, I don’t say it to debate it. I just heard confidence is contagious. Well, catch it baby.
