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