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 blarin
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
dad
walkin' out
'Cause
he
just
hates him
so bad
that
he
blocks him out
If
he
ever
saw him
again
he'd
probably
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
Do-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
let's his emotions go
Sing
with me
Sing
for the years
Sing
for the
laughter
Sing
for the
tears
Sing
it
with me
just
for today
Maybe
tomorrow
the good Lord'll
take you away
Entertainment
is
changin'
Intertwinin'
with
gangsters
In the land
of the
killers
A sinner's mind
is
a sanctum
Holy
or
unholy
only
have one
homie
Only
this
Lonely
'cause
don't anyone
know me
Yet
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
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
did
this metamorphosis
happen
From
standin'
on corners
and
porches
just rappin'
To
havin'
a
fortune
no more
kissin'
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
That's why
these
prosecutors
wanna convict
me
Strictly
just
to
get me off
of these streets
quickly
But
all they kids
be
listenin' to me
religiously
So
I'm signin'
CDs
while police
fingerprint me
They're
for the
judge's
daughter
but
his
grudge
is
against me
If
I'm
such a
menace
This
doesn't
make sense
Pete
It's
all
political
if my music
is
literal
And
I'm a
criminal
how the can
I
raise
a little girl
I
couldn't
I
wouldn't
be fit to
you're
full of
too
Guerrera
that was
a fist
that
hit you
Sing
with me
Sing
for the years
Sing
for the
laughter
Sing
for the
tears
Sing
it
with me
just
for today
Maybe
tomorrow
the good lord'll
take you away
They
say
music
can
alter
moods
and
talk to
you
Well
can it
load
a
up for you
And
it
too
Well
if
it
can
Then
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 about
us
And
they
want to get
one 'cause
they
think
the cool
Not knowin'
we really just
protectin' ourselves
We
entertainers
Of course
the
affectin'
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
up ain't it
How
we can
come from
practically nothing
To
being
able to
have
any thing
that we
wanted
That's why
we sing
for these kids
Who
don't have
a thing
Except for
a dream
And
a rap magazine
Who
post
pin-up pictures
on their walls
all day long
Idolize
they
favorite
rappers
and
know
all they
songs
Or
for
anyone who's
ever
been through
in their lives
Till
they
sit
and
they
cry
at night
wishin'
they'd
die
Till
they
throw on
a rap record
and
they
sit
And
they
vibe
We're
nothin' to
you
but
we're
the in
they
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 years
Sing
for the
laughter
Sing
for the
tears
Sing
it
with me
just
for today
Maybe
tomorrow
the good Lord'll
take you away
Sing
with me
Sing
for the years
Sing
for the
laughter
Sing
for the
tears
Sing
it
with me
just
for today
Maybe
tomorrow
the good Lord'll
take you away
