Parents need to know that although this album has a circus theme, it's definitely not kid friendly; this is a gritty, sexually infused performance. Although somewhat toned down from his previous releases, T-Pain's common topics are the same: drinking, drugging, and clubbing. Women are seen as either sexual prizes or manipulative seducers. Expletives are scattered throughout the songs, but the album's numerous skits contain the most profanity and iffy content. But the theme of most concern is T-Pain's single-minded connection between women and money. On the album, women are after money, men use money to get sex, and T-Pain discusses giving strippers dollar bills. The message that comes across is that women are commodities to be bought, traded, and sold.
Positive messages:Misogyny and oversexed lyrics run rampant throughout the album. "Take a Ride" also discusses joyriding in a stolen car.
Sex:Many of the songs are about propositioning women at clubs for sex. The skit "Take a Ride" explicitly discusses having sex with a woman who has multiple names tattooed on her behind. In "It Ain't Me," T-Pain sings with Akon and T.I. about women who would like to get their money. The rappers warn women that if you want them to buy you things, you need to have sex with them first. "Get you whatever you like, I could / But all I be givin' you tonight is just wood." "Long Lap Dance Song" needs no further explaining.
Language:"Welcome to Thr33 Ringz" is packed with profanities like "F--k that motherf----r, s--t." The expletives continue throughout the album, and on opening track "Ringleader Man," T-Pain explains why: "I'm trying to stop cursing, but I dont give a f--k."
Consumerism:T-Pain brags a lot about the "bling" he owns, his cars, and his money. "Can't Believe It" is a song about lavishing gifts such as a "log cabin in Aspen, expensive paintings ... a mansion somewhere in Wisconsin" on an attractive woman.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:There are a few references to smoking marijuana, and most songs have some lyrics about drinking at clubs.

this cd is not that bad. the song with most swears is karaoke with dj khaled
Its a good cd.T pain does use auto tune so thats why he doesnt sound a thing like the voice he raps with when he sings. He does mention strippers and sex but. some songs are swear free. one of the songs talks about changing the world. which is a good message. some of my favorite rappers and singers are in it like: Lil wayne, Kanye west, Akon, Ludacris. other guests are: Ciara,DJ Khaled, Musiq Soulchild, Raheem DeVaughn,Jay Lyriq,Young Cash and more! My 2 favorite songs are karaoke and chopped n skrewed.
This album has its share of explicit music. A lot of the songs have sexual behavior in them. And some songs have a small amount of language. But there are some songs that have great messages to them. The ones that are the most concerning are Take A Ride, Freeze, Long Lap Dance, etc. Anything with the explicit mark next to one of these songs on this album you should stay away from.
I have the most of the songs on my ipod, and I'm still very young!
I can listen to "Three Ringz", some of the songs swear a lot, but not, all. It's some really good music, and T-Pain features a lot of cool and famous artists\singers.
