[00:11.670]These ideas are nightmares for white parents
[00:14.390]Whose worst fear is a child with dyed hair and who likes earrings
[00:17.540]Like whatever they say has no bearing
[00:20.280]Its so scary in a house that allows no swearing
[00:23.030]To see him walkin around wit his headphones blaring
[00:25.960]Alone in his own zone, cold and he dont care
[00:28.510]Hes a problem child, what bothers him all comes out
[00:31.270]When he talks about his ****ing dad walkin ou
[00:33.210]Cuz he hates him so bad that he blocks him out
[00:35.710]Cuz he hates him so bad that he blocks him out
[00:36.810]But if he ever saw him again, hed prolly knock him out
[00:39.630]His thoughts are whacked, hes mad so hes talkin back
[00:42.780]Talkin black, brainwashed from rock and rap
[00:44.960]He sags his pants, dew-rags and a stockin cap
[00:48.630]His stepfather hit him so he socked him back
[00:51.300]And broke his nose, this house is a broken home
[00:53.750]Theres no control, he just lets his emotions go-
[00:57.170]C`mon! Sing with me (Sing!), sing for the year (Sing It!)
[01:00.210]Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear (C`mon!)
[01:03.220]Sing it with me, just for today
[01:05.680]Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
[01:14.500]Entertainment is changin, intertwinin with gangstas
[01:17.390]In the land of the killers, a sinners mind is a sanctum
[01:19.830]Only ya unholy, only have one homey
[01:22.600]Only this gun, lonely, cuz dont anyone know me
[01:25.080]But everybody just feels like they can relate
[01:28.080]I guess words are a mother****er, they can be grea
[01:30.760]Or they can degrade, or even worse, they can teach hate
[01:33.780]Its like kids hang on every single statement we make
[01:36.700]Like they worship us, plus all the stores ship us platinum
[01:39.620]Now how the **** did this metamorphosis happen?
[01:42.480]From standin on corners and porches just rappin
[01:45.220]To havin a fortune, no more kissin ass
[01:47.720]But then these critics crucify you, journalists try to burn you
[01:50.940]Fans turn on you, attorneys all wanna turn at you
[01:54.090]To get their hands on every dime you have
[01:56.450]They want you to lose your mind every time you mad
[01:59.410]So they can try to make you out to look like a loose cannon
[02:02.390]Any dispute, dont hesitate to produce handguns
[02:05.340]Thats why these prosecutors wanna convict me
[02:08.170]Strictly just to get me offa these streets quickly
[02:11.000]But all their kids been listenn to me religiously
[02:13.870]So Im signin CDs while police fingerprint me
[02:16.590]Theyre for the judges daughter, but his grudge is against me
[02:19.540]If I'm such a ****ing menace, this shit doesn't make sense
[02:22.510]Its all political, if my music is literal and Im a criminal,
[02:25.700]How the **** can I raise a little girl?
[02:28.000]I couldnt, I wouldnt be fit to
[02:30.710]You're full of shit too, Guerrera, THAT WAS A FIST THAT HIT YOU!
[02:38.690]C`mon! Sing with me (Sing!), sing for the year (Sing It!)
[02:41.940]Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear (C`mon!)
[02:44.680]Sing it with me, just for today
[02:47.350]Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
[02:56.310]They say music can alter moods and talk to you
[02:58.720]But can it load a gun for you and c**k it too?
[03:01.530]Well if it can, then the next time you assault a dude
[03:04.590]Just tell the judge it was my fault, and Ill get sued
[03:07.300]See what these kids do, is hear about us totin pistols
[03:10.640]And they wanna get one, cuz they think the shits cool
[03:13.370]Not knowin were really just protectin ourselves
[03:15.870]We entertainas, of course this shits affectin our sales
[03:18.790]You ignoramus, but music is reflection of self
[03:21.570]We just explain it, and then we get our checks in the mail
[03:24.580]Its ****ing up aint it, how we can come from practically nothin
[03:27.370]To bein able to have any ****ing thing that we wanted
[03:30.210]Thats why we sing for these kids that dont have a thing
[03:32.950]
[04:07.100]C`mon! Sing with me (Sing!), sing for the year (Sing It!)
[04:09.810]Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear (C`mon!)
[04:12.550]Sing it with me, just for today
[04:15.400]Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
[04:24.020]C`mon! Sing with me (Sing!), sing for the year (Sing It!)
