I kept my babies fed. I could have dumped them, but I didn’t. I decided that whatever trip I was on, they were going with me. You’re looking at a real daddy.

In this statement, White frames fatherhood as an active, chosen responsibility rather than a mere biological fact. The blunt contrast—he “could have dumped them, but… didn’t”—highlights how easily parental obligations can be evaded, and positions his decision to keep his children with him as a moral commitment. “Whatever trip I was on” suggests a life marked by instability, ambition, or personal struggle; he insists his children would not be collateral damage of that journey. The closing line, “You’re looking at a real daddy,” asserts pride in providing and staying present, redefining masculinity through care, endurance, and accountability.
