Sing For The Moment Lyrics - The Eminem Show - 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 blaring 

Alone in his own zone, cold and he don't care 

He's a problem child, and what bothers him all comes out 

When he talks about, his fucking dad walking out 

Cause he hates him so bad that he, blocks him out 

If he ever saw him again he'd probably knock him out 

His thoughts are wacked, he's mad so he's talking back 

Talking black, brainwashed from rock and rap 

He sags his pants, doo-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 lets his emotions go

Sing with me, sing for the year (sing it) 

Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear (Come on!) 

Sing it with me, just for today 

Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away 

Entertainment is changing, intertwining with gangsters 

In the land of the killers a sinner's mind is a sanctum 

Holy or unholy, only have one homie 

Only this gun, lonely cause don't anyone know me 

Yet everybody just feels like they can relate 

I guess words are a mothafucka, 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 fuck did this metamorphosis happen? 

From standing on corners and porches just rapping 

To having a fortune, no more kissing ass 

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 handguns 

That's why these prosecutors wanna convict me 

Strictly just to get me off of these streets quickly 

But all their kids been listening to me religiously 

So I'm signing CD's while police fingerprint me 

They're for the judge's daughter but his grudge is against me 

If I'm such a fucking menace this shit doesn't make sense B 

It's all political, if my music is literal 

Then I'm a criminal, how the fuck can I raise a little girl? 

I couldn't, I wouldn't be fit to 

You're full of shit too Guerrera; that was a fist that hit you

Sing with me, sing for the year (sing it) 

Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear (sing this shit!) 

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 

Well, can it load a gun up for you and cock it too? 

Well if it can, and 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 'bout us toting pistols 

And they wanna get one cause, they think the shit's cool 

Not knowing we really just protecting ourselves 

We entertainers, of course the shit's affecting 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 fucked up ain't it? How we can come from practically nothing 

To being able to have any fucking thing that we wanted 

That's why we, sing for these kids who don't have a thing 

Except for a dream and a fucking rap magazine 

Who post pin-up pictures on they walls all day long 

Idolize their favorite rappers and know all their songs 

Or for anyone who's ever been through shit in they lives 

So they sit and they cry at night wishing they'd die 

'til they throw on a rap record and they sit and they vibe 

We're nothing to you, but we're the fucking shit in their 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 year (sing it) 

Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear (Come on!) 

Sing it with me, just for today 

Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away 

Sing with me, sing for the year (sing it) 

Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear (Come on!) 

Sing it with me, just for today 

Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
