Sing For The Moment

These ideas are nightmares for white parents

  • 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 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 let's 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 motherf**ka
  • 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 f**k did this metamorphosis happen?
  • From standin' on corners and porches just rappin'
  • to havin' a fortune
  • No more kissin' a**
  • 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 f**kin' menace this sh*t
  • doesn't make sense b
  • It's all political, if my music is literal
  • and I'm a criminal,
  • how the f**k can I raise a little girl?
  • I couldn't, I wouldn't be fit to
  • you're full of sh*t 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 C'mon!
  • 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 sh*t's cool
  • Not knowin' we're really just protectin' ourselves
  • We entertainas, of course this sh*t'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 f**ked up ain't it,
  • how we can come from practically nothin'
  • To bein' able to have any f**kin' thing that we wanted
  • That's why we sing for these kids
  • that don't have a thing
  • Except for a dream and a f**kin' 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 sh*t 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 f**kin' sh*t 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 for the year
  • sing for the laughter
  • sing for the tear
  • sing it with me, just for today
  • maybe tomorrow
  • the good lord will take you away
