Oi, look at this lad.
Not even tall enough for the big rides,
but singin' lyrics that would make a sailor blush.
I try to educate. I try to be the "good dad".
And you know what he says?
Listen to this...

In the back of the car, lookin' innocent and small
But he’s screamin' lyrics that hit like a wreckin' ball
Words about the blocks, the straps, and the fakes
I’m sweatin' at the wheel, hittin' the brakes!
I say: "D’you know what that means? It’s foul, it’s wrong!"
"You can't be spittin' that filth in a song!"
I give him the lecture, I’m preachin' the law
But he’s seen it all before, he’s heard even more...

He just shrugs his shoulders: "Shut the fok up!"
Yeah, stone-cold stare: "Shut the fok up!"
I give him the wisdom, I give him the truth
But there’s no gettin' through to the modern youth!
One look in my eye, like I’m some kind of clown
Then he turns the volume up and lets the beat drown!

I explain the history, the weight of the word
The most offensive thing that I’ve ever heard!
I’m talkin’ ‘bout respect, and why we don’t say it
He’s checkin’ his phone, waitin’ to play it!
He waits for the hook, he waits for the drop
He doesn’t give a toss if I tell him to stop.
I finish my sentence, I’m feelin’ quite proud...
Then he screams that same word—twice as loud!

He just shrugs his shoulders: "Shut the fok up!"
No respect given: "Shut the fok up!"
I give him the wisdom, I give him the truth
But there’s no gettin' through to the modern youth!
One look in my eye, like I’m some kind of clown
Then he turns the volume up and lets the beat drown!

It’s that adrenaline spike, the rebel in his soul
Trying to keep the boy under control.
But the more you explain, the more he’ll defy
With that "I don't care" look in his eye.

YEAH, THAT LOOK IN HIS EYE!

Shut the fuck up.
Straight to the point, innit?
No "Boeien", just the hard truth.
Fine then. Sing your lungs out.
Don't come cryin' to me later.
