EMINEM SING FOR THE MOMENT (INSTRUMENTAL VERSION) Lyrics

Sing for the moment
Eminem
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
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 what bothers him all comes out
When he talks about his f___in' dad walkin out
Cos he hates him so bad that he blocks him out
But if he ever saw him again he'd prolly 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 2 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
(Come on)

Sing with me sing for the year
Sing for the laughter sing for the tear
Sing with me if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

Entertainment is changing 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 m_________er 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 f___ 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
That's why these prosecutors wanna convict me
Swiftly just to get me offa these streets quickly
But all their kids been listen'n 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 f___in' menace this s___ doesn't make sense Pete
It's all political if my music is literal and I'm a criminal
How the f___ can I raise a little girl
I couldn't I wouldn't be fit to
You're full of s___ too Guerrera that was a fist that hit you

Sing with me sing for the year
Sing for the laughter sing for the tear
Sing with me if it's 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 up for you and c___ it too
Well if it can then the next time you a__ault a dude
Just tell the judge it was my fault and I'll get sued
See what these kids do is hear about us toting pistols
And they want to get one cos they think the s___'s cool
Not knowin' we're really just protectin' ourselves
We're entertainers of course this s___'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 f___ed up ain't it how we can come from practically nothin'
To bein' able to have any f___in' 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___ing 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 s___ in they lives
So they sit and they cry at night wishing they die
Till they throw on a rap record and they sit and they vibe
We're nothing to you but we're the f___in' s___ in their eyes
That's why we seize the moment and 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
And we can

Sing with me sing for the year
Sing for the laughter sing for the tear
Sing with me if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
