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 
Its 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 dont care 
He's a problem child , what bothers him [bad word] out 
When he talks about his [bad word] #39; 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 , 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 lets his emotions go  [bad word] on... 

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 changing, intertwining 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 [bad word] , they can be great 
Or they can be degrate, or even worse, they can teach hate 
Its like these kids hang on every single statement we make 
Like they worship us, plus all the stores ship us platinum 
Now how the [bad word] did this metamorphosis happen? 
From standin' on corners and porches just rappin' 
To havin' a fortune , no more kissin' [bad word] 
But then these critics [bad word] you , journalists try to burn you 
Fans turn on you, attorney's all wanna turn at you 
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 cannon 
Any dispute won't hesitate to produce handguns 
Thats why these prosecutors wanna convict me 
Strictly just to get me offa these streets quickly 
But all their kids be listen'n to me religiously 
So i'm signing cds while police fingerprint me 
They're for the judges daughter , but his [bad word] is against me 
If i'm such a [bad word] #39; menace , this [bad word] doesn’t make sense, B’ 
It's all political, if my music is literal and i'm a criminal, 
How the [bad word] can i raise a little girl? 
I couldn 't. i wouldn't be fit to 
You're full of [bad word] 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, 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 [bad word] 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 toting pistols 
And they want to get one , cos they think the [bad word] #39;s cool 
Not knowin' we're really just protectin' ourselves 
We entertainers; of course this [bad word] #39;s affecting our selves 
You ignoramus. but music is reflection of self 
We just explain it, and then we get our checks in the mail 
It's [bad word] up ain't it, how we [bad word] from practically nothin' 
To bein ' able to have any [bad word] #39; thing that we wanted 
It's why we sing for these kids that don't have a thing
Except for a dream and a [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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
