Parental Advisory

[Spoken Word]
I miss the parental advisory warning I used to own
(I used to own)
Stuck it in my mind, let it out when I'm grown
But it lingers around, tryna find a new home
I wish it wasn't there to screw with my mind anymore
(FUCK!)
Advisory, like a warning, danger may come
(Danger may come)
Parental, the man and woman that I strive to become
More and more, I seem to fall in a slump
(Fall in a slump)
With the mind of my father, and the mouth like my mom
(Love you mom)
It's frightening
Tellin' stories
Hearin' that they can relate
I want unique memories
Somethin' to eat off my own platе
Somethin' to start my drive to an adjacent placе
Where I can do my own shit, show them that I am great
But why they, them?
Why not me, me, me?

The kid with a legacy
They hear my words, but I know they ain't about it
They're worried about the youngins, themselves, I don't doubt it
They've lived their lives I suppose it's time to live mine
(Time to live mine)
But how can I when parental advisory come's back every time?
It tells me would your parents do this?
(Would your parents do this?)
Would they stay on the line if you told them you wanted a kid?
Would they judge me if I wanted to live in my own crib?
Would they warn me about all the dangers that live?
Of course they would!
'Cause I'll always be their son
I'll always be their Zack
(Be their Zack)
And they'll always want to come
To have my back
They'll protect me
They'll love me
They'll be there when I'm alone
But now that I'm grown
I know
That parental advisory, may disappear on it's own
But I gotta remember
The things that I've grown
I built Always Strong
I did that shit!
None of my parents ever taught me how to spit
I learned for myself how to be the biggest fucking bitch
But only on the mic
'Cause real life does exist
I learned to say
Fuck that warning
I've got so much left to prove
Alarm clocks on snooze
Day before was the booze
So Mom, Dad
I'm Zack
It's me
From now on, no more parental advisory
I'm Always Strong
(I'm Always Strong)
