Eminem - Sing For The Moment Lyrics (.LRC)
[00:23.90]These ideas are nightmares to white parents
[00:26.60]Whose worst fear is a child with dyed hair and who likes earrings
[00:29.80]Like whatever they say has no bearing
[00:32.50]It's so scary in a house that allows no swearing
[00:35.40]To see him walking around with his headphones blaring
[00:38.30]Alone in his own zone, cold and he don't care
[00:41.10]He's a problem child, what bothers him all comes out
[00:43.80]When he talks about his ******' dad walkin' out
[00:46.80]Cause he hates him so bad that he blocks him out
[00:49.60]If he ever saw him again, he'd probably knock him out
[00:52.60]His thoughts are whacked, he's mad so he's talkin' back
[00:55.50]Talkin' black, brainwashed from rock and rap
[00:58.20]He sags his pants, do rags and a stocking cap
[01:01.40]His stepfather hit him so he socked him back
[01:04.30]And broke his nose, this house is a broken home
[01:07.20]There's no control, he just let's his emotions go
[01:10.30](Come on) Sing with me, ( Sing), sing for the years
[01:13.40](Sing it) Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears ( Come on)
[01:16.50]Sing it with me, just for today,
[01:19.30]Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
[01:28.30]Entertainment is changing, intertwining' with gangsters
[01:31.00]In the land of the killers, a sinner's mind is a sanctum
[01:33.80]Holy or unholy, only have one homie
[01:36.60]Only this gun, lonely, 'cause don't anyone know me
[01:39.80]But everybody just feels like they can relate
[01:42.50]I guess words are a ************, they can be great
[01:45.40]Or they can degrade, or even worse, they can teach hate
[01:48.70]It's like these kids hang on every single statement we make
[01:51.10]Like they worship us, plus all the stores ship us platinum
[01:54.30]Now how the **** did this metamorphosis happen?
[01:57.20]From standin' on corners and porches just rappin'
[01:59.90]To havin' a fortune, no more kissin' ass
[02:03.00]But then these critics crucify you, journalists try to burn you
[02:05.90]Fans turn on you, attorneys all want a turn at you
[02:09.10]To get their hands on every dime you have
[02:11.60]They want you to lose your mind every time you mad
[02:14.70]So they can try to make you out to look like a loose canon
[02:17.70]Any dispute, won't hesitate to produce handguns
[02:20.80]That's why these prosecutors wanna convict me
[02:23.60]Strictly just to get me off of these streets quickly
[02:26.60]But all their kids been listenin' to me religiously
[02:29.30]So I'm signing CD's while police fingerprint me
[02:32.30]They're for the judges daughter, but his grudge is against me
[02:35.20]If I'm such a ******' menace, this **** doesn't make sense b
[02:38.30]It's all political, if my music is literal then I'm a criminal
[02:41.20]How the **** can I raise a little girl?
[02:44.20]I couldn't, I wouldn't be fit to
[02:46.40]You're full of **** too, Guerrera, that was a fist that hit you
[02:50.20](Come on) Sing with me, ( Sing), sing for the years
[02:53.10](Sing it) Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears ( Come on)
[02:56.00]Sing it with me, just for today,
[02:58.80]Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
[03:07.40]They say music can alter moods and talk to you
[03:10.30]Well can it load a gun up for you and **** it too?
[03:13.20]Well if it can, then the next time you assault a dude
[03:16.00]Just tell the judge it was my fault, and I'll get sued
[03:19.10]See what these kids do, is hear about us totin' pistols
[03:22.50]And they want to get one, 'cus they think the ****** cool
[03:25.40]Not knowin' we're really just protectin' ourselves
[03:27.70]We entertainers, of course the ****** affecting ourselves
[03:30.70]You ignoramus but music is reflection of self
[03:33.50]We just explain it, and then we get our checks in the mail
[03:36.70]It's ****** up ain't it, how we can come from practically nothin'
[03:39.40]To bein' able to have any ******' thing that we wanted
[03:42.40]That's why we sing for these kids that don't have a thing
[03:45.40]Except for a dream and a ******' rap magazine
[03:48.20]Who post pinup pictures on their walls all day long
[03:51.20]Idolize they favorite rappers and know all they songs
[03:54.10]Or for anyone who's ever been through **** in they lives
[03:56.90]'Til they sit and they cry at night, wishing they die
[03:59.80]'Til they throw on a rap record, and they sit and they vibe
[04:02.70]We're nothing to you, but we're the ******' **** in their eyes
[04:05.80]That's why we seize the moment, and try to freeze it and own it
[04:08.70]Squeeze it and hold it, 'cause we consider these minutes golden
[04:11.60]And maybe they'll admit it when we're gone
[04:13.70]Just let our spirits live on, through our lyrics that you hear in our songs
[04:17.00]And we can
[04:18.20](Come on) Sing with me, ( Sing), sing for the years
[04:21.10](Sing it) Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears ( Come on)
[04:24.00]Sing it with me, just for today,
[04:26.60]Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
[04:36.00](Come on) Sing with me, ( Sing), sing for the years
[04:38.40](Sing it) Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears ( Come on)
[04:41.50]Sing it with me, just for today,
[04:44.20]Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
