⁣⁣⁣[Verse 1: Eminem]

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 walkin' around with his headphones blarin'

Alone in his own zone, cold and he
don't care, he's

A problem child, and what bothers him all comes out

When he talks about his fuckin' dad walkin' out (Bitch!)

'Cause 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 wacked, he's mad so
he's talkin' back

Talkin' black, brainwashed from rock and rap

He sags his pants, do-rags and a stockin'
cap

His stepfather 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



[Chorus: Steven Tyler (& Eminem)]

(Come on!) Sing with me (Sing!),
sing for the year (Sing it!)

Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear (Come on!)

Sing it with me, it's just for today

Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away



[Verse 2: Eminem]

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 gun, lonely ‘cause don't anyone know me

Yet everybody just feels like they can relate (Huh-uh)

I guess words are a motherfucker,
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 fuck did this
metamorphosis happen?

From standin' on corners and porches just rappin'

To havin' a fortune, no more kissin' ass

But then these critics crucify you
(Yep), 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 handguns

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 fuckin' menace, this
shit doesn't make sense, B

It's all political, if my music is literal

And I'm a criminal, how the fuck can I raise a little girl?

I couldn't, I wouldn't be fit to

You're full of shit too, Guerrera,
that was a fist that hit you! (Bitch!)

[Chorus: Steven Tyler (& Eminem)]

(Come on!) Sing with me (Sing!),
sing for the year (Sing it!)

Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear (Sing that shit!)

Sing it with me, it's just for today

Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away



[Verse 3: Eminem]

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, 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 totin' pistols

And they wanna get one ‘cause they think the shit's cool

Not knowin' we really just protectin'
ourselves

We entertainers, of course the shit's
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 fucked up, ain't it? How we can
come from practically nothin'

To bein' able to have any fuckin' thing that we wanted

That's why we sing for these kids who
don't have a thing

Except for a dream and a fuckin' rap magazine (Ha-ha!)

Who post pin-up pictures on they walls all day long

Idolize they favorite rappers and know all they songs

Or for anyone who's ever been through
shit in they lives

So they sit and they cry at night, wishin' they'd die

'Til they throw on a rap record and they sit and they vibe

We're nothin' to you, but we're the
fuckin' shit 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…

[Chorus: Steven Tyler (& Eminem)]

Sing with me (Sing!), sing for
the year (Sing it!)

Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear (Come on!)

Sing it with me, it's just for today

Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away



[Chorus: Steven Tyler (& Eminem)]

Sing with me (Sing!), sing for
the year (Sing it!)

Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear (Come on!)

Sing it with me, it's just for today

Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
