Eminem - Sing For The Moment (Album Version (Explicit))

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 walking around
with 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 fucking dad walking out
Cause he hates him so bad
that he blocks him out
If he ever saw him
again he'd probably
knock him out
His thoughts are whacked
he's mad so
he's talking back
Talking black
brainwashed from
rock and rap
He sags his pants
Two rags and a stocking cap
His step father
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
Come on
Sing with me
Sing for the year
Sing for the laughter
Sing for the tear
Sing with me just for today
Maybe tomorrow
the good Lord will
take you away
Entertainment is danger
intertwine it with gansters
In the land of the killers
a sinner's mind is a sanctum
Only you're unholy
Only have one homey
Only this gun
lonely cause don't
anyone know me
But everybody just feels
like they can relate
I guess words are a
mother fucker
they can be great
Or they can be great
or even worse
they can teach hate
It's like he's 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 metamorphasis happen
From standing on
corners and porches
just rapping
To having a fortune
no more kissing ass
But then these critics
crucify you
journalists try to burn you
Fans turn on you
attorney's all gonna
turn it to
the 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 canon
You need to spew
don't hesitate to produce
air guns
That's why these prosecutors
wanna convict me
Swiftly just to get me
offa these streets quickly
But all their kids been
listen me religiously
So I'm signing cds
while police fingerprint me
They're for the
judges daughter
but his grudge is against me
If I'm such a fucking menace
this shit doesn't make
sense Pete
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
Sing with me
Sing for the year
Sing for the laughter
Sing for the tear
Sing 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
hear about us toting pistols
And they want to get one
causes
they think the shit's cool
Not knowing
we're really just
protecting ourselves
We're entertainers
of course this shit's
affecting our sales
You ignoramus
but music is reflection
of self
We just explain it
and then we get our
cheques in the mail
It's fucked up ain't it
how we can come from
practically nothing
To being able to
have any fucking
thing that we wanted
It's why we
sing for these kids
that don't have a thing
Except for a dream
and a fucking rap magazine
Who post pinup pictures
on their walls all day long
Idolise their
favourite 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
wishing they die
Till they throw
on a rap record
and they sit and they vibe
We're nothing to you
but we're the fucking
shit in their eyes
That's why we
sieze the moment
try to freeze it and own it
Squeeze it and hold it
cause we consider
these minutes golden
And maybe they'll admit it
when we're gone
Just let our spirits live on
through out lyrics that you
hear in our songs and we can
Sing with me
Sing for the year
Sing for the laughter
Sing for the tear
Sing 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 with me just for today
Maybe tomorrow
the good Lord will
take you away
