[ti:sing for the moment] [ar:Eminem] [al:344424] [by:] [offset:0] [00:24.22]These ideas are nightmares for white parents [00:27.02]Whose worst fear is a child with dyed hair and who likes earrings [00:29.92]Like whatever they say has no bearing [00:32.91]It's so scary in a house that allows no swearing [00:35.92]To see him walkin' around wit his headphones blaring [00:38.86]Alone in his own zone cold and he don't care [00:41.60]He's a problem child [00:42.81]What bothers him all comes out [00:44.40]When he talks about his f**kin' dad walkin' out [00:47.27]'Cuz he hates him so bad that he blocks him out [00:50.39]But if he ever saw him again he'd prolly knock him out [00:53.45]His thoughts are whacked [00:54.49]He's mad so he's talkin' back [00:56.18]Talkin' black [00:57.24]Brainwashed from rock and rap [00:59.03]He sags his pants [01:00.43]Dew-rags and a stockin' cap [01:02.02]His stepfather hit him so he socked him back [01:04.82]And broke his nose [01:05.95]This house is a broken home [01:07.72]There's no control [01:08.84]He just lets his emotions go-chorus [01:10.25]C`mon sing with me (sing ) [01:12.71]Sing for the year (sing it ) [01:14.31]Sing for the laughter

[01:29.95]Intertwinin' with gangstas [01:31.65]In the land of the killers [01:33.11]A sinner's mind is a sanctum [01:34.58]Only ya unholy [01:35.82]Only have one homey [01:37.37]Only this gun [01:38.21]Lonely 'cuz don't anyone know me [01:40.37]But everybody just feels like they can relate [01:43.04]I guess words are a motherf**ka [01:44.75]They can be great [01:45.78]Or they can degrade [01:46.93]Or even worse they can teach hate [01:48.77]It's like kids hang on every single statement we make [01:51.68]Like they worship us [01:52.96]Plus all the stores ship us platinum [01:54.87]Now how the f**k did this metamorphosis happen [01:57.78]From standin' on corners and porches just rappin' [02:00.71]To havin' a fortune [02:01.98]No more kissin' a** [02:03.53]But then these critics crucify you [02:05.17]Journalists try to burn you [02:06.58]Fans turn on you [02:07.95]Attorneys all wanna turn at you [02:09.65]To get their hands on every dime you have [02:12.15]They want you to lose your mind every time you mad [02:14.97]So they can try to make you out to look like a loose cannon [02:18.28]Any dispute don't hesitate to produce handguns [02:21.12]Thats why these prosecutors wanna convict me [02:23.92]Strictly just to get me offa these streets quickly [02:27.14]But all their kids been listen'n to me religiously [02:30.08]So i'm signin' cds while police fingerprint me

[03:31.15]You ignoramus but music is reflection of self [03:33.99]We just explain it and then we get our checks in the mail [03:37.82]It's f**ked up ain't it how we can come from practically nothin' [03:39.76]To bein' able to have any f**kin' thing that we wanted [03:42.88]That's why we sing for these kids that don't have a thing [03:45.93]Except for a dream and a f**kin' rap magazine [03:48.60]Who post pin-up pictures on their walls all day long [03:51.16]Idolize their favorite rappers and know all they songs [03:54.59]Or for anyone who's ever been through sh*t in they lives
