These ideas are nightmares for white parents |
[00:26.290] |
Whose worst fear is a child with dyed hair and who likes earrings |
[00:30.440] |
Like whatever they say has no bearing |
[00:32.380] |
It's so scary in a house that allows no swearing |
[00:35.130] |
To see him walkin' around wit his headphones blaring |
[00:38.600] |
Alone in his own zone, cold and he don't care |
[00:40.610] |
He's a problem child, what bothers him all comes out |
[00:43.370] |
When he talks about his ****in' dad walkin' out |
[00:45.810] |
'Cuz he hates him so bad that he blocks him out |
[00:49.410] |
But if he ever saw him again, he'd prolly knock him out |
[00:52.730] |
His thoughts are whacked, he's mad so he's talkin' back |
[00:55.880] |
Talkin' black, brainwashed from rock and rap |
[00:58.560] |
He sags his pants, dew-rags and a stockin' cap |
[01:02.230] |
His stepfather hit him so he socked him back |
[01:04.900] |
And broke his nose, this house is a broken home |
[01:07.350] |
There's no control, he just lets his emotions go- |
[01:10.270] |
C`mon! Sing with me (Sing!), sing for the year (Sing It!) |
[01:13.810] |
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear (C`mon!) |
[01:16.820] |
Sing it with me, just for today |
[01:19.280] |
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away |
[01:28.100] |
Entertainment is changin', intertwinin' with gangstas |
[01:30.990] |
In the land of the killers, a sinner's mind is a sanctum |
[01:33.930] |
Only ya unholy, only have one homey |
[01:36.700] |
Only this gun, lonely, 'cuz don't anyone know me |
[01:39.680] |
But everybody just feels like they can relate |
[01:42.180] |
I guess words are a mother****a, they can be great |
[01:45.360] |
Or they can degrade, or even worse, they can teach hate |
[01:48.380] |
It's like kids hang on every single statement we make |
[01:51.300] |
Like they worship us, plus all the stores ship us platinum |
[01:54.720] |
Now how the **** did this metamorphosis happen? |
[01:57.580] |
From standin' on corners and porches just rappin' |
[02:00.320] |
To havin' a fortune, no more kissin' ass |
[02:02.820] |
But then these critics crucify you, journalists try to burn you |
[02:06.400] |
Fans turn on you, attorneys all wanna turn at you |
[02:09.190] |
To get their hands on every dime you have |
[02:11.550] |
They want you to lose your mind every time you mad |
[02:14.510] |
So they can try to make you out to look like a loose cannon |
[02:17.490] |
Any dispute, don't hesitate to produce handguns |
[02:20.940] |
Thats why these prosecutors wanna convict me |
[02:23.770] |
Strictly just to get me offa these streets quickly |
[02:26.600] |
But all their kids been listen'n to me religiously |
[02:29.470] |
So I'm signin' CDs while police fingerprint me |
[02:32.190] |
They're for the judge's daughter, but his grudge is against me |
[02:35.140] |
If I'm such a ****in' menace, this shit doesn't make sense B |
[02:38.610] |
It's all political, if my music is literal and I'm a criminal, |
[02:41.300] |
How the **** can I raise a little girl? |
[02:44.600] |
I couldn't, I wouldn't be fit to |
[02:46.810] |
You're full of shit too, Guerrera, THAT WAS A FIST THAT HIT YOU! |
[02:49.650] |
C`mon! Sing with me (Sing!), sing for the year (Sing It!) |
[02:53.700] |
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear |
[02:55.750] |
Sing it with me, just for today |
[02:59.700] |
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away |
[03:07.180] |
They say music can alter moods and talk to you |
[03:10.190] |
But can it load a gun for you and cock it too? |
[03:13.800] |
Well if it can, then the next time you assault a dude |
[03:16.500] |
Just tell the judge it was my fault, and I'll get sued |
[03:18.990] |
See what these kids do, is hear about us totin' pistols |
[03:22.300] |
And they wanna get one, 'cuz they think the shit's cool |
[03:25.250] |
Not knowin' we're really just protectin' ourselves |
[03:28.300] |
We entertainas, of course this shit's affectin' our sales |
[03:30.590] |
You ignoramus, but music is reflection of self |
[03:33.600] |
We just explain it, and then we get our checks in the mail |
[03:36.510] |
It's ****ed up ain't it, how we can come from practically nothin' |
[03:39.390] |
To bein' able to have any ****in' thing that we wanted |
[03:42.290] |
That's why we sing for these kids that don't have a thing |
[03:45.340] |
Except for a dream and a ****in' rap magazine |
[03:48.230] |
Who post pin-up pictures on their walls all day long |
[03:51.290] |
Idolize their favorite rappers and know all they songs |
[03:54.200] |
Or for anyone who's ever been through shit in they lives |
[03:57.110] |
So they sit and they cry at night, wishin they die |
[03:59.930] |
Till they throw on a rap record, and they sit and they vibe |
[04:02.940] |
We're nothin' to you, but we the ****in' shit in they eyes |
[04:05.680] |
That's why we sieze the moment, try to freeze it and own it |
[04:08.750] |
Squeeze it and hold it, 'cuz we consider these minutes golden |
[04:11.980] |
And maybe they'll admit it when we're gone |
[04:13.970] |
Just let our spirits live on, through our lyrics that you hear in our songs |
[04:17.660] |
And we can- |
[04:18.300] |
Sing with me (Sing!), sing for the year (Sing It!) |
[04:20.850] |
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear (C`mon!) |
[04:24.900] |
Sing it with me, just for today |
[04:26.800] |
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away |
[04:33.980] |
|
[04:35.740] |
Sing with me (Sing!), sing for the year (Sing It!) |
[04:38.520] |
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear (C`mon!) |
[04:41.940] |
Sing it with me, just for today |
[04:44.310] |
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away |
[04:51.560] |
