[00:22.429] | These ideas are nightmares for white parents |
[00:26.477] | Whose worst fear is a child with dyed hair and who likes earrings |
[00:29.307] | Like whatever they say has no bearing |
[00:32.297] | It's so scary in a house that allows no swearing |
[00:35.182] | To see him walkin'around wit his headphones blaring |
[00:38.181] | Alone in his own zone cold and he don't care |
[00:41.90] | He's a problem child what bothers him all comes out |
[00:43.868] | When he talks about his ******'dad walkin'out |
[00:45.846] | 'Cuz he hates him so bad that he blocks him out |
[00:49.644] | 'Cuz he hates him so bad that he blocks him out |
[00:51.715] | But if he ever saw him again he'd prolly knock him out |
[00:52.883] | His thoughts are whacked he's mad so he's talkin'back |
[00:54.958] | Talkin'black brainwashed from rock and rap |
[00:58.277] | He sags his pants dew-rags and a stockin'cap |
[01:01.411] | His stepfather hit him so he socked him back |
[01:04.474] | And broke his nose this house is a broken home |
[01:07.213] | There's no control he just lets his emotions go- |
[01:09.761] | C`mon!Sing with me (Sing!)sing for the year (Sing It!) |
[01:13.525] | Sing for the laughter sing for the tear (C`mon!) |
[01:15.587] | Sing it with me just for today |
[01:18.711] | Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away |
[01:28.192] | Entertainment is changin'intertwinin'with gangstas |
[01:30.867] | In the land of the killers a sinner's mind is a sanctum |
[01:33.540] | Only ya unholy only have one homey |
[01:35.800] | Only this gun lonely 'cuz don't anyone know me |
[01:39.541] | But everybody just feels like they can relate |
[01:42.470] | I guess words are a *********** they can be great |
[01:45.377] | Or they can degrade or even worse they can teach hate |
[01:48.270] | It's like kids hang on every single statement we make |
[01:50.712] | Like they worship us plus all the stores ship us platinum |
[01:53.668] | Now how the **** did this metamorphosis happen |
[01:55.709] | From standin'on corners and porches just rappin' |
[01:59.344] | To havin'a fortune no more kissin'ass |
[02:02.281] | But then these critics crucify you journalists try to burn you |
[02:05.401] | Fans turn on you attorneys all wanna turn at you |
[02:08.674] | To get their hands on every dime you have |
[02:11.587] | They want you to lose your mind every time you mad |
[02:14.595] | So they can try to make you out to look like a loose cannon |
[02:17.738] | Any dispute don't hesitate to produce handguns |
[02:20.584] | Thats why these prosecutors wanna convict me |
[02:23.396] | Strictly just to get me offa these streets quickly |
[02:26.740] | But all their kids been listen'n to me religiously |
[02:29.288] | So I'm signin'CDs while police fingerprint me |
[02:32.210] | They're for the judge's daughter but his grudge is against me |
[02:35.143] | If I'm such a ******'menace this **** doesn't make sense B |
[02:38.458] | It's all political if my music is literal and I'm a criminal |
[02:41.514] | How the **** can I raise a little girl |
[02:47.79] | I couldn't I wouldn't be fit to |
[02:49.974] | You're full of **** too Guerrera THAT WAS A FIST THAT HIT YOU! |
[02:51.35] | C`mon!Sing with me (Sing!)sing for the year (Sing It!) |
[02:53.587] | Sing for the laughter sing for the tear (C`mon!) |
[02:55.164] | Sing it with me just for today |
[02:59.88] | Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away |
[03:07.280] | They say music can alter moods and talk to you |
[03:10.54] | But can it load a gun for you and cock it too |
[03:13.14] | Well if it can then the next time you assault a dude |
[03:15.934] | Just tell the judge it was my fault and I'll get sued |
[03:18.808] | See what these kids do is hear about us totin'pistols |
[03:21.513] | And they wanna get one 'cuz they think the ****'s cool |
[03:24.449] | Not knowin'we're really just protectin'ourselves |
[03:27.724] | We entertainas of course this ****'s affectin'our sales |
[03:29.752] | You ignoramus but music is reflection of self |
[03:32.958] | We just explain it and then we get our checks in the mail |
[03:36.633] | It's ****** up ain't it how we can come from practically nothin' |
[03:38.939] | To bein'able to have any ******'thing that we wanted |
[03:41.593] | That's why we sing for these kids that don't have a thing |
[03:44.711] | Except for a dream and a ******'rap magazine |
[03:46.903] | Who post pin-up pictures on their walls all day long |
[03:51.274] | Idolize their favorite rappers and know all they songs |
[03:54.55] | Or for anyone who's ever been through **** in they lives |
[03:57.57] | So they sit and they cry at night wishin they die |
[03:59.884] | Till they throw on a rap record and they sit and they vibe |
[04:02.936] | We're nothin'to you but we the ******'**** in they eyes |
[04:05.802] | That's why we sieze the moment try to freeze it and own it |
[04:08.819] | Squeeze it and hold it 'cuz we consider these minutes golden |
[04:11.181] | And maybe they'll admit it when we're gone |
[04:13.927] | Just let our spirits live on through our lyrics that you hear in our songs |
[04:17.127] | And we can- |
[04:18.08] | C`mon!Sing with me (Sing!)sing for the year (Sing It!) |
[04:20.989] | Sing for the laughter sing for the tear (C`mon!) |
[04:23.07] | Sing it with me just for today |
[04:25.723] | Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away |
[04:35.674] | C`mon!Sing with me (Sing!)sing for the year (Sing It!) |
