- Sing For The Moment
- Eminem
- These ideas are nightmares for white parents
- Whose worst fear is a child with dyed hair and who likes earrings
- Like whatever they say has no bearing
- It's so scary in a house that allows no swearing
- To see him walkin' around wit his headphones blaring
- Alone in his own zone, cold and he don't care
- He's a problem child, what bothers him all comes out
- When he talks about his fuckin' dad walkin' out
- 'Cuz he hates him so bad that he blocks him out
- But if he ever saw him again, he'd prolly knock him out
- His thoughts are whacked, he's mad so he's talkin' back
- Talkin' black, brainwashed from rock and rap
- He sags his pants, dew-rags and a stockin' cap
- His stepfather hit him so he socked him back
- And broke his nose, this house is a broken home
- There's no control, he just lets his emotions go-
- C`mon! Sing with me (Sing!), sing for the year (Sing It!)
- Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear (C`mon!)
- Sing it with me, just for today
- Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
- Entertainment is changin', intertwinin' with gangstas
- In the land of the killers, a sinner's mind is a sanctum
- Only ya unholy, only have one homey
- Only this gun, lonely, 'cuz don't anyone know me
- But everybody just feels like they can relate
- I guess words are a motherfucka, they can be great
- Or they can degrade, or even worse, they can teach hate
- It's like kids hang on every single statement we make
- Like they worship us, plus all the stores ship us platinum
- Now how the fuck did this metamorphosis happen?
- From standin' on corners and porches just rappin'
- To havin' a fortune, no more kissin' ass
- But then these critics crucify you, journalists try to burn you
- Fans turn on you, attorneys all wanna turn at you
- To get their hands on every dime you have
- They want you to lose your mind every time you mad
- So they can try to make you out to look like a loose cannon
- Any dispute, don't hesitate to produce handguns
- Thats why these prosecutors wanna convict me
- Strictly just to get me offa these streets quickly
- But all their kids been listen'n to me religiously
- So I'm signin' CDs while police fingerprint me
- They're for the judge's daughter, but his grudge is against me
- If I'm such a fuckin' menace, this shit doesn't make sense B
- It's all political, if my music is literal and I'm a criminal,
- How the FUCK can I raise a little girl?
- I couldn't, I wouldn't be fit to
- You're full of shit too, Guerrera, THAT WAS A FIST THAT HIT YOU!
- C`mon! Sing with me (Sing!), sing for the year (Sing It!)
- Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
- Sing it with me, just for today
- Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
- They say music can alter moods and talk to you
- But can it load a gun for you and cock it too?
- Well if it can, then the next time you assault a dude
- Just tell the judge it was my fault, and I'll get sued
- See what these kids do, is hear about us totin' pistols
- And they wanna get one, 'cuz they think the shit's cool
- Not knowin' we're really just protectin' ourselves
- We entertainas, of course this shit's affectin' our sales
- You ignoramus, but music is reflection of self
- We just explain it, and then we get our checks in the mail
- It's fucked up ain't it, how we can come from practically nothin'
- To bein' able to have any fuckin' thing that we wanted
- That's why we sing for these kids that don't have a thing
- Except for a dream and a fuckin' rap magazine
- Who post pin-up pictures on their walls all day long
- Idolize their favorite rappers and know all they songs
- Or for anyone who's ever been through shit in they lives
- So they sit and they cry at night, wishin they die
- Till they throw on a rap record, and they sit and they vibe
- We're nothin' to you, but we the fuckin' shit in they eyes
- That's why we sieze the moment, try to freeze it and own it
- Squeeze it and hold it, 'cuz we consider these minutes golden
- And maybe they'll admit it when we're gone
- Just let our spirits live on, through our lyrics that you hear in our songs
- And we can-
- Sing with me (Sing!), sing for the year (Sing It!)
- Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear (C`mon!)
- Sing it with me, just for today
- Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
- Sing with me (Sing!), sing for the year (Sing It!)
- Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear (C`mon!)
- Sing it with me, just for today
- Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
