Eminem - Sing For The Moment
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,
its so scary in a house that allows
no swearing
to see him walking around with his headphones blaring,
alone in his own zone,
cold and he dont care
Hes a problem child, and what bothers him all comes out,
when he talks
about, his fuckin dad walkin out
cuz he just hates him so bad that he blocks him out.
If he ever saw him again
hed probably knock him out
His thoughts are wacked, hes mad so hes talkin back,
talkin black,
brainwashed from rock and rap
He sags his pants, do-rags and a stocking cap,
his step-father hit him, so he
socked him back
and broke his nose, his house is a broken home.
Theres no control, he just
lets his emotions go...
Chorus
Cmon! Sing with me (Sing!)
Sing for the year (Sing It)
Sing for the laughter
sing for the tear (Cmon!)
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 sinners mind is a sanctum
holy or unholy, only have one homie, only this gun,
lonely cuz dont anyone
know me
Yet everybody just feels like they can relate,
I guess words are a mothafucka
they can be great
or they can degrate, or even worse they can teach hate
Its like these 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 want a turn at you
To get they 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
wont hesitate to produce handguns
Thats why these prosecutors wanna convict me,
strictly just to get me off of
these streets quickly
But all they kids be listenin to me religiously,
so Im signin CDs while
police fingerprint me
Theyre for the judges daughter but his grudge is against me.
If Im such a
fuckin menace, this shit doesnt make sense B
Its all political, if my music is literal,
and Im a criminal how the fuck
can I raise a little girl?
I couldnt. I wouldnt be fit to. Youre full of shit too,
Guerrera, that was
a fist that hit you!
Chorus
They say music can alter moods and talk to you,
well can it load a gun up 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 Ill get sued
See what these kids do is hear about us totin pistols
and they want to get
one cuz they think the shits cool
not knowin we really just protectin ourselves, we entertainers,
of course
the shits affectin our sales, you ignoramus
But music is reflection of self, we just explain it,
and then we get our
checks in the mail. Its fucked up aint it?
How we can come from practically nothing
to being able to have any fuckin
thing that we wanted
Thats why we sing for these kids,
who dont have a thing except for a dream,
and a fuckin rap magazine
who post pin-up pictures on they walls all day long,
idolize they favorite
rappers and know all they songs
Or for anyone whos ever been through shit in their lives,
till they sit and
they cry at night wishin theyd die
Till they throw on a rap record and they sit, and they vibe.
Were nothin to
you but were the fuckin shit in they eyes
thats why we seize the moment try to freeze it and own it, squeeze it and
hold it, cuz we consider these minutes golden
and maybe theyll admit it when were gone.
Just let our spirits live on,
through our lyrics that you hear in our songs and we can...
Chorus (X2)
