What is eminem talking about in his song called sing for the moment?

Answer 1

The lyrics are as followed:

Verse 1

These ideas are nightmares to white parents,

Whose worst fear is a child with dyed hair and who like earrings

Like whatever they say has no bearing

It's so scary in a house that allows no swearing

They 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**king dad walking out

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 whacked, mad so he's talking back, talking black

Brainwashed from rock and rap

He sags his pants, durags, and a stocking 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

(C'mon)

Sing with me, sing for the year

(Sing)

Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear

(Sing it)

Sing with me, just for today

Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take us away

Verse 2

Entertainment is changing, intertwining with gangsters

In the land of 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

And everybody just feels like they can relate

I guess words are a motherfu**er

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 these stores ship us platinum

Now how the f**k did this metamorphosis happen

From standing on corners and porches just rapping

To having a fortune no more kissing a*s

But then these critics crucify you, journalists try to burn you

Fans turn on you, at tourneys all want they 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 keep listening to me religiously

So I'm signing Cd's while police fingerprint me

They're for the judges daughter but his grudge is against me

If I'm such a f**king menace, this doesn't make sense Pete

It's all political, if my music is literal, and I'm a criminal

How the f**k can I raise a little girl?

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

You're full of sh*t too, Guerrera, that was a fist that hit you

Chorus

Verse 3

They say music can alter you 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 here about us toting pistols

They wanna get one, they think the sh*t's cool

Not knowing we really just protecting ourselves,

We're entertainers, of course the sh*t'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**ked up ain't it, how we can come from practically nothing

To being able to having any f**king thing that we want

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

Except for a dream and a f**king rap magazine

Who post pinup pictures on they walls all day long

Idolize they favorite rappers and know all they song

So for anyone who's every been through sh*t in they lives

And they sit and they cry, wishing they die

Till they throw on a rap record, and sit and they vibe

We're nothing to you, but we're the f**king sh*t in they eyes

That's why we seize the moment, try to freeze it and holy it, squeeze it and hold it

Cause' we consider these minutes golden

And maybe they'll admit it when I'm gone

Just let our spirits live on through the lyrics that you hear in our songs

Chorus

Hey, sorry for any typos or incorrect lyrics I could have made, this was purely form memory(:
