"Sing For The [Verse 1] These ideas are nightmares white parents Whose worst is a child with dyed hair and who likes earrings Like whatever they say has no it's so scary in a house that allows no swearing To see him walking around his headphones blaring Alone in own zone, cold and he don't care a problem child And what bothers him all comes out, when he talks His in' dad walkin' Cause he just hates so bad that he blocks him out If he saw him again he'd probably knock him out thoughts are whacked, he's mad so he's talkin' back Talkin' black, from rock and rap sags his pants, do-rags and a stocking cap His step-father hit him, so he socked back, and broke his nose His house is a broken home, there's no control, he let's his emotions go... [Chorus] {C'mon}, with me, {sing}, sing for the years {Sing it}, sing for the laughter, sing the tears, {c'mon) Sing it with me, just for today, maybe tomorrow the good Lord will you away... [Verse 2] Entertainment is intertwinin' with gangsta's In the land of the killers, a sinner's is a sanctum Holy or unholy, only one homie Only this gun, lonely don't anyone know me Yet everybody just feels like they relate, I guess words are a mothaa can be great Or they degrade, or even worse they can teach hate It's like kids hang on every single statement we make Like they worship us, all the stores ship us platinum Now how the did this happen From standin' on corners and just rappin' To havin' a fortune, more kissin' ass But then these critics crucify you, journalists try to you turn on you, attorneys all want a turn at you To get they hands on every dime you have, they want you to your mind every time you So they can try to make you out to look like loose cannon Any dispute won't hesitate to handguns That's why these prosecutors wanna convict strictly just to get me off of streets quickly But all they kids listenin' to me religiously, so i'm signin' cd's while police me They're for the daughter but his grudge is against me If i'm such a menace, this shit doesn't make sense Pete It's all political, if my music is literal, and i'm criminal how the can raise a little girl couldn't, I wouldn't be fit to, you're full of shit too, Guerrera, that a fist that hit you... [CHORUS] [Verse 3] They say music can alter and talk to you Well can it load a up for you , and cock it too Well if it can, then the next time assault a dude Just tell the judge it was my fault and i'll get See what these kids do is hear about totin' pistols And want to get one cause they think the shit's cool Not we really just protectin' ourselves, we entertainers Of course the shit's affectin' our sales, ignoramus But music is reflection of self, we explain it, and then we get our checks in the It's up ain't it How we can from practically nothing to being able to have any in' thing that wanted That's why we sing for these kids, don't have a thing Except a dream, and a in' rap magazine Who post pin-up pictures on walls all day long Idolize they favorite rappers and know all songs Or for anyone who's ever been through shit their lives Till sit and they cry at night wishin' they'd die Till they on a rap record and they sit, and they vibe We're nothin' to but we're the in' shit in they eyes That's why seize the moment try to freeze it and own it, squeeze it and hold it Cause we consider these golden And they'll admit it when we're gone Just let our spirits live through our lyrics that you hear in our songs and we can... SING THE MOMENT
