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
its so scary in a house that allows no swearing
to see him walking around with his head phones 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 fucking dad walking out
cuz 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 whack
hes mad so hes talking back
talking black
brainwashed from rock and rap
he sags his pants two rags and a stocking cap
his step father 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
come on!


Chorus
sing with me sing for the year
sing for the laughter sing for the tear
sing with me just for today
maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away


entertainment is danger intertwining with gangsters
in the land of the killers a singers mind is a sanctum
only youre unholy, only have one homie
only this gun, loney, cuz dont ne one know me
and everybody just feels like they can relate
i guess words are a motherfucker they can be great
or they can degreat or even worse they can teach hate
its like these kids hang on every statement we make like they worship us
plus all this stores ship us platinum
now how the fuck did this metamorphasis happen
from standing on corners and porches just rappen
to having a fortune no more kissing ass
but then these critics crucify you
journalists try to burn you
fans turn on you attornies all want a turn at you
to get a hand on every dime you have
they want you to loose your mind everytime you mad
so they can try 2 make u out to look like a loose cannon
you need to spew, wont hesitate 2 produce air guns
thats why these prosecutors wanna convict me
swiftly just to get me off of these streets quickly
so im signing cds while police fingerprint me
they're for the judges daughter but his grudge is against me
im in such fuckin mennace this shit doesnt make sense pete!
its all political if music is literal if im a criminal how the f*ck can i raise a little girl
i couldnt i wouldnt be fit to
your full of sh*t too gurrera that was a fist that hit you!

Chorus

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, the next time u assault a dude
tell the judge it was my fault and i'll get sued
see what these kids do is hear about us totin pistols
and they wanna get one cuz they think this sh*ts cool
not knowing we really just protectin ourselves
we entertainers of course this shits affectin our sales
you ingnoramus but music is reflection of self we just explain it
and then we get our checks in the mail its fucked up aint it
how we can go from practically nothing to being able to have any fuckign thing that we wanted
It's why we sing for these kids who dont have a thing
except for a dream and a fucking rap magazine
who post pin up pictures on they walls all day long
idolise they favourite rappers and know all they songs
or for anyone whos ever been through shit in their lives
till they sit and they cry at night wishing theyd die
till 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
thats why we sieze the moment
try to freeze it and own it
squeeze it and hold it cuz we consider these mintues golden
and maybe theyll admit in when were gone
just let our spirits live on through the lyrics that you hear in our songs and we can
