Sing For The Levon-Eminem/Elton John

These ideas are nightmares for white parents Whose worst fear is a child with dyed hair and who likes earrings Like whatever they say has no bearin' Its so scary in a house that allows no swearin' To see him walkin' 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 f**kin' dad walkin' out 'Cos he hates him so bad that he blocks him out But 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 two rags and a stockin' cap His step father hit him so he socked him back And broke his nose this house is a broken home There's no control he just lets his emotions go (C'mon) Sing with me (Sing) Sing for the year (Sing) Sing for the laughter Sing for the tear (C'mon) Sing with me just for today Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away Entertainment is danger intertwine it with gangsters In the land of the killers a sinner's mind is a sanctum Only you're unholy only have one homey Only this gun lonely 'cuz don't anyone know me But everybody just feels like they can relate I guess words are a motherf**ker they can be great Or they can be great or even worse they can teach hate Its like kids hang on every single statement we make Like they worship us plus all the stores ship us platinum Now how the f**k did this metamorphosis happen? From standin' on corners and porches just rappin' To havin' a fortune no more kissin' a** But then these critics crucify you journalists try to burn you Fans turn on you attorney's all gonna turn it to To get their 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 canon You need to spew don't hesitate to produce air guns Thats why these prosecutors wanna convict me Swiftly just to get me off these streets quickly But all their kids been listen to me religiously So I'm signin' cds while police fingerprint me They're for the judges daughter but his grudge is against me If I'm such a f**kin' menace this sh*t doesn't make sense, Pete It's all political if my music is literal and I'm a criminal How the f**k can I raise a little girl? I couldn't I wouldn't be fit to You're full of sh*t too Guerrera that was a fist that hit you Sing with me (Sing) Sing for the year (Sing) Sing for the laughter Sing for the tear (C'mon) Sing with me just for today Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away They say music can alter moods and talk to you But can it load a gun for you and cock 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 totin' pistols And they want to get one 'cos they think the sh*t's cool Not knowin' we're really just protectin' ourselves We're entertainers of course this sh*t's 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 f**ked up ain't it how we can come from practically nothin' To bein' able to have any f**kin' thing that we wanted It's why we sing for these kids that don't have a thing Except for a dream and a f**kin' rap magazine Who post pinup pictures on their walls all day long Idolize their favorite rappers and know all they songs Or for anyone who's ever been through sh*t in they lives So they sit and they cry at night wishin' they die Till they throw on a rap record and they sit and they vibe We're nothin' to you but we're the f**kin' sh*t in their eyes That's why we seize the moment and try to freeze it and own it Squeeze it and hold it 'cos we consider these minutes golden And maybe they'll admit it when we're gone Just let our spirits live on through out lyrics that you hear in our songs And we can Sing with me (Sing) Sing for the year (Sing) Sing for the laughter Sing for the tear (C'mon) Sing with me just for today Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away Sing with me (Sing) Sing for the year (Sing) Sing for the laughter Sing for the tear (C'mon) Sing with me just for today Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
