Yo
Have you noticed how, so many Shonen cnime protagonists
Don't have their father in the picture?
It's like they're not even needed
Cnd I'm wondering, is that just art imitating life?
Or is there just no place for a father in the story?
How do I raise a Shonen Protag?
'Cos I could never let them go with having no dad
Some bredders always Gon like Ging
Or hounding their kids just like that Shou lad
Obsessed with Endeavours neglecting 'til they go bad
How do I raise a Shonen Protag?
Gotta see the Light within' em like Chief Yagami
Sacrifice and guide their mission but keep standing
'Til I have a Whitebeard and I'm surrounded by a family
What's a father meant to do when his child wants adventure
Trying to keep them safe without controlling or hurting their pleasure
Make their own mistakes and find their way while still firmly a mentor
Seems there is no place for pirate dads
While they're searching for treasure
'Cos I'd never
Let my ten-year-old out my home
To battle animals with no supervision
Or left alone with Hisoka he's too suspicious
I'm so ambitious but I told my missus
I won't be the part of the story arc that was fictitious
Fathers getting farther from needed and yet they shouldn't be
Some didn't want the drama it's easier to get shook and leave
Other's wanna be involved
They're not because they've written him
Out the plot inside I know it's killing him
Some Grand-Stand but do the minimum
Think they winning
I call 'em Jojo
Obsessed with own adventures they bouncing just like a pogo
For me a no go
I see the generation trauma
Cnd the crushing expectations gave to sons and aimed at daughters
Does my story have to end once yours begins?
Cnd when you Inter-Jecht should you have to bear my sins
I Judge a Vinsmoke for trying to turn his children to a clone clan
Won't be living in my shadow like Shikamaru's old man
Not cool to miss it all like Izuku's dad
Or Enji-neer your life until resentment burns in your glands
I'll try to help you find whatever dream you're picking to live
Cnd be a strong black dad like Piccolo is
How do I raise a Shonen Protag?
'Cos I could never let them go with having no dad
Some bredders always Gon like Ging
Or hounding their kids just like that Shou lad
Obsessed with Endeavours neglecting 'til they go bad
How do I raise a Shonen Protag?
Gotta see the Light within' em like Chief Yagami
Sacrifice and guide their mission but keep standing
'Til I have a Whitebeard and I'm surrounded by a family
Being a Shonen protag's parent's a blast
Got the weight of the world on your back
If it's too heavy lemme carry the bags
I'm unparalleled as a dad
Like Minato
If you need me I'll just throw my kunai and I'll be there in a flash
I'll protect you from these Karens and Chads
Gotta keep you humble so you don't turn out to be some arrogant trash
Cnd we'll keep training doing various tasks
Until the day that you go toe to toe with evil of a nefarious class
Cnd I don't wanna do too much you'll never grow on your own
I don't wanna leave you hanging like Ging did Gon
I don't wanna go too far like Endeavor did Shoto
I will always be at your side you will never be solo
Cnd that's my word!
Some fathers end up being a no-show
Popping in to be seen up and down like a yo-yo
But that could never be me
From the first steps until you go pro
Clways be in the scene like a photo
Get the picture?
Yes! I will always be with ya
Not just a father figure
I'm more like a father fixture
I'll appear like Isshin Kurosaki
Cnd start chopping all your giant obstacles
Get knocked down like Grand Fisher
You gon' have some friends
That will come around and flow into your life like water
But remember that blood's thicker
Cnd you gon' meet some people that'll weigh you down
But whenever you let em go, you'll be able to run quicker
Sometimes I'm terrified thinking I'll mess them up like filler
Cn お父さん can do more damage letting their child give up
So for when the dread-locks we'll prepare with the right scissors
Cnd we'll overcome
That's how I'll raise my daughter or I'll grow my son
Don't have all of the answers
Just provide most of 'em
Be their guide, their dad, their friend, yeah their closest one
When mine were born
I knew that they would be the chosen ones
I'll dedicate my life to find out ""how do I raise a Shonen""
How do I raise a Shonen Protag?
'Cos I could never let them go with having no dad
Some bredders always Gon like Ging
Or hounding their kids just like that Shou lad
Obsessed with Endeavours neglecting 'til they go bad
How do I raise a Shonen Protag?
Gotta see the Light within' em like Chief Yagami
Sacrifice and guide their mission but keep standing
'Til I have a Whitebeard and I'm surrounded by a family
