Sleepin' by the tree
Hopin' Santa Claus got some gifts for me
Sleepin' by the tree
Hey, look out, look out, look out, yeah
Sleepin' by the tree (I'm on the road)
Hopin' Santa Claus got some gifts for me (This Christmas)
(I said I'm on the road) Sleepin' by the tree
Hope Santa Claus got some gifts for me
Sleepin' by the tree
How about that? Gifts under the tree
Somebody care about me
It was just another Christmas 'til my daughter sent me kisses
Then my feelings got up in it, now I'm bound to spread the spirit
Look out (Look out)
My mama told me "You might not get a gift"
I'm mad than a motherfucker 'cause it's already the 25th
And I ain't got a gift yet, I'm upset
I'm ready to go steal some shit, ready to go and deal some shit
See, Christmas is supposed to fun
Tearing open gifts, comparing 'em, playing with your loved ones
All of my cousins, man, they got everything
ColecoVisions, they even got a Green Machine
While I'm sitting at the pad, moping and mad
Lovin' my mama, but I'm hopin' my dad
Come through with a big bag, tappin' on the front door
Take me on a shopping spree to my favorite stizo'
Let me get what I want, let me get what I need
Is it real? It must be a dream
'Cause the hood that I come from don't believe in no Santa Claus
Mama was Santa Claus, my mama was Santa, dawg
And I love her to death, despite I might not get what I've been needin'
Long as I'm breathin'
See, 'cause she taught me 'bout life and that's a trip
If you're livin' on Christmas, then that's your gift
How 'bout that? Nah, homie, how 'bout this?
See, 'cause I'ma put you on my X-mas list
'Cause I care about it, don't worry 'bout it
It was rowdy and crowded 'cause I invited everybody
That's how Christmas is, you're 'posed to spread love
So I'ma spread love and give it to those who ain't got none
Give it up
How about that? Gifts under the tree
Somebody care about me
It was just another Christmas 'til my daughter sent me kisses
Then my feelings got up in it, now I'm bound to spread the spirit
Look out (Look out)
Ho, ho, ho! I said it's Christmas, it's Christmas, what do I got?
Another day of being blessed to be here on the spot
Plus them 22 inches crawlin' down on the block
I say the Christmas season, bought my mama a fresh new drop
My kids havin' a beautiful Christmas, daddy was glistenin'
Listening to the beat of the crisp Christmas spirit
The 24th, the eve, and everybody knowin'
House lit up like the sun, the whole block glowin'
Home-cooked meals, candied yams, girls shakin' they ass
That's how we do it at the Christmas jam
I get gangsta on Christmas with some 'gnac and a sack
Open up the gifts, kick back and relax
Everybody feeling joyful and blessed on the occasion
This right here is the shh, that's I'm sayin'
A Dogg Pound Christmas and a Dogg Pound New Year
Pop them bottles and take them swallows
Celebrate it for the Man up above
It's the Christmas spirit so show Him some love
It's Christmas
How about that? Gifts under the tree
Somebody care about me
It was just another Christmas 'til my daughter sent me kisses
Then my feelings got up in it, now I'm bound to spread the spirit
Look out (Look out)
Yeah, look, my mama told me and always tried to show me
That when you do good, good things happen to you
But there was times when I didn't think all that was true
Please, sweatin' like a million degrees
But it's Christmas time and me and mama shoppin' for trees
I can't help but think if I did cool or not (Or not)
If I should keep my cool or not
I remember searchin' the whole house for toys
This is all about the mystery, Christmas joy
When I was young, I used to hear stories about, you know
Reindeers, sleds stoppin', hoppin' out
In and out, then back on route
Some places snowflakes fall out the sky
But now we have Christmas parties, kids of our own
It's a whole different ballgame now that we grown
Now sippin' Henn' and smokin' on a Christmas bong (Look)
How about that? Gifts under the tree
Somebody care about me
It was just another Christmas 'til my daughter sent me kisses
Then my feelings got up in it, now I'm bound to spread the spirit
Look out
How about that? Gifts under the tree
Somebody care about me
It was just another Christmas 'til my daughter sent me kisses
Then my feelings got up in it, now I'm bound to spread the spirit
Look out (Look out)
