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