Sing For The Moment (Explicit) - Eminem
Lyrics by:Jeff Bass/Marshall Mathers/Steven Victor Tallarico
Composed by:Jeff Bass/Marshall Mathers/Steven Victor Tallarico
These ideas are nightmares to 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 walkin' around with his headphones blarin'
Alone in his own zone cold and he don't care he's
A problem child and what bothers him all comes out
When he talks about his f**kin' dad walkin' out
B***h
'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 wacked he's mad so he's talkin' back
Talkin' black brainwashed from rock and rap
He sags his pants do-rags and a stockin' cap
His stepfather hit him so he socked him back
And broke his nose his house is a broken home
There's no control he just lets his emotions go
Come on
Sing with me
Sing
Sing for the year
Sing it
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Come on
Sing it with me it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
Entertainment is changin' intertwinin' with gangsters
In the land of the killers a sinner's mind is a sanctum
Holy or unholy only have one homie
Only this gun lonely 'cause don't anyone know me
Yet everybody just feels like they can relate
I guess words are a motherf**ker they can be great
Or they can degrade or even worse they can teach hate
It's like these kids hang on every single statement we make
Like they worship us plus all the stores ship us platinum
Now how the f**k did this metamorphosis happen
From standin' on corners and porches just rappin'
To havin' a fortune no more kissin' a*s
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 won't hesitate to produce handguns
That's 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 I'm signin' CDs while police fingerprint me
They're for the judge's daughter but his grudge is against me
If I'm such a f**kin' menace this s**t doesn't make sense B
It's all political if my music is literal
And I'm a criminal how the f**k can I raise a little girl
I couldn't I wouldn't be fit to
You're full of s**t too Guerrera that was a fist that hit you
B***h
Come on
