Sing For The Moment Lyrics by Eminem Eminem
Below, you will find the lyrics for Sing For The Moment by Eminem.
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 walking around with his headphones blarin
Alone in his own zone
Cold and he don't care
He's a problem child
What bothers him all comes out
When he talks about
His dad walkin' out
'Cause he just hates him so bad that he blocks him out
If he ever saw him again he'd probably knock him out
His thoughts are whacked
He's mad so he's talkin' back
Talkin' black, brainwashed from rock and rap
He sags his pants
Do-rags and a stocking cap
His step-father hit him
So he socked him back, and broke his nose
His house is a broken home
There's no control
He just let's his emotions go
Sing with me
Sing for the years
Sing for the laughter
Sing for the tears
Sing it with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord'll 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
Lonely 'cause don't anyone know me
Yet everybody just feels like they can relate
I guess words are a 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 did this metamorphosis happen
From standin' on corners and porches just rappin'
To havin' a fortune, no more kissin'
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
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 menace
This doesn't make sense Pete
It's all political, if my music is literal
And I'm a criminal how the can I raise a little girl
I couldn't, I wouldn't be fit to, you're full of too
Guerrera, that was a fist that hit you
Sing with me
Sing for the years
Sing for the laughter
Sing for the tears
Sing it with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord'll take you away
They say music can alter moods and talk to you
Well can it load a up for you
And it too
Well if it can
Then the next time you assault a dude
Just tell the judge it was my fault and I'll get sued
See what these kids do is hear about us
And they want to get one 'cause they think the cool
Not knowin' we really just protectin' ourselves
We entertainers
Of course the affectin' our sales
You ignoramus
But music is reflection of self
We just explain it
And then we get our checks in the mail
It's up ain't it
How we can come from practically nothing
To being able to have any thing that we wanted
That's why we sing for these kids
Who don't have a thing
Except for a dream
And a rap magazine
Who post pin-up pictures on their walls all day long
Idolize they 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 die
Till they throw on a rap record and they sit
And they vibe
We're nothin' to you but we're the in they eyes
That's why we seize the moment try to freeze it and own it
Squeeze it and hold it
'Cause we consider these minutes golden
And maybe they'll admit it when we're gone
Just let our spirits live on
Through our lyrics that you hear in our songs and we can
Sing with me
Sing for the years
Sing for the laughter
Sing for the tears
Sing it with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord'll take you away
Sing with me
Sing for the years
Sing for the laughter
Sing for the tears
Sing it with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord'll take you away
