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 bearing Its so scary in a house that allows no swearing To see him walkin around wit his headphones blaring Alone in his own zone, cold and he dont care Hes a problem child, what bothers him all comes out When he talks about his ****** dad walkin out Cuz he hates him so bad that he blocks him out Cuz he hates him so bad that he blocks him out But if he ever saw him again, hed prolly knock him out His thoughts are whacked, hes mad so hes talkin back Talkin black, brainwashed from rock and rap He sags his pants, dew-rags and a stockin cap His stepfather hit him so he socked him back And broke his nose, this house is a broken home Theres no control, he just lets his emotions go- C`mon! Sing with me (Sing!), sing for the year (Sing It!) Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear (C`mon!) Sing it with me, just for today Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away Entertainment is changin, intertwinin with gangstas In the land of the killers, a sinners mind is a sanctum Only ya unholy, only have one homey Only this gun, lonely, cuz dont anyone know me But 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 Its like 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 ass But then these critics crucify you, journalists try to burn you Fans turn on you, attorneys all wanna turn at you 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 cannon Any dispute, dont hesitate to produce handguns Thats why these prosecutors wanna convict me Strictly just to get me offa these streets quickly But all their kids been listenn to me religiously So Im signin CDs while police fingerprint me Theyre for the judges daughter, but his grudge is against me If Im such a ****** menace, this **** doesnt make sense B Its all political, if my music is literal and Im a criminal, How the **** can I raise a little girl? I couldnt, I wouldnt be fit to Youre full of **** too, Guerrera, THAT WAS A FIST THAT HIT YOU! C`mon! Sing with me (Sing!), sing for the year (Sing It!) Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear (C`mon!) Sing it 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 Ill get sued See what these kids do, is hear about us totin pistols And they wanna get one, cuz they think the shits cool Not knowin were really just protectin ourselves We entertainas, of course this shits affectin our sales You ignoramus, but music is reflection of self We just explain it, and then we get our checks in the mail Its ****** up aint it, how we can come from practically nothin To bein able to have any ****** thing that we wanted Thats why we sing for these kids that dont have a thing
