verse 1: Don't act like you don't get excited inside and feel giddy/ I know I've felt that way ever since I was kiddie/ used to go to bed early maybe 8 maybe 9/ then wake up at 5 am and open mines/ I knew Santa wasn't real my relatives bought the gifts/ every Christmas me and my cousin made a list/ of everything we wanted versus what we knew we'd get/ and were happy if the top gifts were complied with/ the good old days when you had more from’s than to's/ fore the paradigm shift when it was all about you/ before you got older and learned of the Christmas blues/ passed out on your pullout couch reeking of booze/ when you would go to bed but could barely even snooze/ sitting by the tree counting presents by the two's/ where at the very least you'd get a new fit and some shoes/ where even if your poor there's something in store for you verse 2: Man I hate the Christmas story, yeah I had to say it/ it wouldn't be so bad if TBS didn't play it/ for a whole day on the same day every year/ they need a new version where they let Ralphie swear/ and I swear I don't wear reindeer sweaters/ and egg nog with Courvoisier taste way better/ whether its ice skates or sledding snowflakes/ I treasure the winter wonderland the weather makes/ take a cruise late at night to check out the sights/ tiny fluorescent lights decorating homes bright/ tis the season to do good for no reason/ even if it’s something you normally don’t believe in/ cause just receiving can goods or a gift/ could change the outcome of someone's December 25th/ never mind how you find this holiday should be defined/ it happens once a year spread cheer at Christmas time

Every time around this year it’s like impossible to shop/ you might catch your grandpops fighting in the parking lot/ upright citizens is bitching and complaining to the cashier/ who’s at the register about to break down inta tears/ yeah the Christmas rush you work retail it’s a must/ that’s when consumers are sooner to spend all of they bucks/ and you can trust/ that you’ll get overtime with a plus/ but it comes with a whole lot of bullheaded fuss/ case in point I’m at riverside in the foot locker/ watching this manager trainee get treated improper/ by this rugrat’s mama who’s ready to go to war when/ she finds out they don’t got her son’s size in Jordans/ meanwhile a group of teens is in the corner on a scheme/ stuffing everything they find without a sensor in they jeans/ security hit the scene/ attempting to intervene/ and that’s when shorty and his mama ran a screen/ why she kick the stroller at’em and they trip trying ta pivot/ the stroller tips over and out hops a damn midget/ who’s running with her after the teens screaming wait up/ he catches up/ the tallest kid reaches down and picks him up/ they heading to the exit and I’m cracking the hell up/ cause the midgets on a cell yelling bring around the truck

yeah, so i made a Christmas album....i know, kinda left field, but that's me. Christmas rap doesn't have to sound corny, that's a terrible misconception. i had a blast writing this ep, it proved to be more challenging than i expected. great for the (hip hop) holiday person in us all...pause.....lol
