Album | Sing For The Moment |
[00:00.00] | These ideas are nightmares for white parents |
[00:03.48] | Whose worst fear is a child with dyed hair and who likes earrings |
[00:06.31] | Like whatever they say has no bearing |
[00:09.30] | It's so scary in a house that allows no swearing |
[00:12.18] | To see him walkin' around wit his headphones blaring |
[00:15.18] | Alone in his own zone cold and he don't care |
[00:18.90] | He's a problem child what bothers him all comes out |
[00:20.87] | When he talks about his fuckin' dad walkin' out |
[00:22.85] | 'Cuz he hates him so bad that he blocks him out |
[00:26.64] | 'Cuz he hates him so bad that he blocks him out |
[00:28.72] | But if he ever saw him again he'd prolly knock him out |
[00:29.88] | His thoughts are whacked he's mad so he's talkin' back |
[00:31.96] | Talkin' black brainwashed from rock and rap |
[00:35.28] | He sags his pants dew-rags and a stockin' cap |
[00:38.41] | His stepfather hit him so he socked him back |
[00:41.47] | And broke his nose this house is a broken home |
[00:44.21] | There's no control he just lets his emotions go- |
[00:46.76] | C`mon! Sing with me (Sing!) sing for the year (Sing It!) |
[00:50.53] | Sing for the laughter sing for the tear (C`mon!) |
[00:52.59] | Sing it with me just for today |
[00:55.71] | Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away |
[00:59.42] | |
[01:05.19] | Entertainment is changin' intertwinin' with gangstas |
[01:07.87] | In the land of the killers a sinner's mind is a sanctum |
[01:10.54] | Only ya unholy only have one homey |
[01:12.80] | Only this gun lonely 'cuz don't anyone know me |
[01:16.54] | But everybody just feels like they can relate |
[01:19.47] | I guess words are a motherfucka they can be great |
[01:22.38] | Or they can degrade or even worse they can teach hate |
[01:25.27] | It's like kids hang on every single statement we make |
[01:27.71] | Like they worship us plus all the stores ship us platinum |
[01:30.67] | Now how the fuck did this metamorphosis happen |
[01:32.71] | From standin' on corners and porches just rappin' |
[01:36.34] | To havin' a fortune no more kissin' ass |
[01:39.28] | But then these critics crucify you journalists try to burn you |
[01:42.40] | Fans turn on you attorneys all wanna turn at you |
[01:45.67] | To get their hands on every dime you have |
[01:48.59] | They want you to lose your mind every time you mad |
[01:51.60] | So they can try to make you out to look like a loose cannon |
[01:54.74] | Any dispute don't hesitate to produce handguns |
[01:57.58] | Thats why these prosecutors wanna convict me |
[02:00.40] | Strictly just to get me offa these streets quickly |
[02:03.74] | But all their kids been listen'n to me religiously |
[02:06.29] | So I'm signin' CDs while police fingerprint me |
[02:09.21] | They're for the judge's daughter but his grudge is against me |
[02:12.14] | If I'm such a fuckin' menace this shit doesn't make sense B |
[02:15.46] | It's all political if my music is literal and I'm a criminal |
[02:18.51] | How the FUCK can I raise a little girl |
[02:23.39] | |
[02:24.80] | I couldn't I wouldn't be fit to |
[02:26.97] | You're full of shit too Guerrera THAT WAS A FIST THAT HIT YOU! |
[02:28.40] | C`mon! Sing with me (Sing!) sing for the year (Sing It!) |
[02:30.59] | Sing for the laughter sing for the tear (C`mon!) |
[02:32.16] | Sing it with me just for today |
[02:36.90] | Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away |
[02:41.14] | |
[02:44.28] | They say music can alter moods and talk to you |
[02:47.50] | But can it load a gun for you and cock it too |
[02:50.10] | Well if it can then the next time you assault a dude |
[02:52.93] | Just tell the judge it was my fault and I'll get sued |
[02:55.81] | See what these kids do is hear about us totin' pistols |
[02:58.51] | And they wanna get one 'cuz they think the shit's cool |
[03:01.45] | Not knowin' we're really just protectin' ourselves |
[03:04.72] | We entertainas of course this shit's affectin' our sales |
[03:06.75] | You ignoramus but music is reflection of self |
[03:09.96] | We just explain it and then we get our checks in the mail |
[03:13.63] | It's fucked up ain't it how we can come from practically nothin' |
[03:15.94] | To bein' able to have any fuckin' thing that we wanted |
[03:18.59] | That's why we sing for these kids that don't have a thing |
[03:22.10] | Except for a dream and a fuckin' rap magazine |
[03:25.10] | Who post pin-up pictures on their walls all day long |
[03:29.47] | Idolize their favorite rappers and know all they songs |
[03:32.25] | Or for anyone who's ever been through shit in they lives |
[03:35.26] | So they sit and they cry at night wishin they die |
[03:38.80] | Till they throw on a rap record and they sit and they vibe |
[03:41.14] | We're nothin' to you but we the fuckin' shit in they eyes |
[03:44.00] | That's why we sieze the moment try to freeze it and own it |
[03:47.20] | Squeeze it and hold it 'cuz we consider these minutes golden |
[03:49.38] | And maybe they'll admit it when we're gone |
[03:52.13] | Just let our spirits live on through our lyrics that you hear in our songs |
[03:55.33] | And we can- |
[03:56.21] | C`mon! Sing with me (Sing!) sing for the year (Sing It!) |
[03:59.19] | Sing for the laughter sing for the tear (C`mon!) |
[04:01.21] | Sing it with me just for today |
