We can do whatever's necessary just so we can celebrate
No matter our monetary situation
All my problems feelin' secondary, got a lotta shit to carry
Pockets slow with cash, flow intimidation
I remember when we got wick
Government cheese and powder milk drank until we got sick
Coupons and food stamps really sucked
But it put presents under the tree and the choice cut's on the plate
Mama cooked me and daddy a steak and for dessert
A piece of cheese as birthday cake, Lord we was livin'
Seein' how we ain't get much for Thanksgivin', keepin' it pushin' was the mission
Hey, Santa brought me shit I probably didn't even deserve
I couldn't wait to kick the people said he was fake to the curb
Years later, celebratin' with a drink and some herb
Reminiscin' on the holidays and feelin' superb
Lost in the holiday glow
A million miles away from all the problems, don't you know?
The monetary solitude in the North Pole
I've been blowin' up another one and blowin' out smoke
Let the memories flow like snow
Lights, easy lights, Sunday with the cruise control
Life's not so bad when you let it go
Tomorrow is another day, I'ma have to let you know
I remember sleddin' on Deadmans Hill gettin' chills
Make you shiver, turn late, take a dip in the Clinton River
Doin' donuts with my big bro on the road
Iced over, covered in a blanket of snow while we laughin'
Real spinnin', snow spittin' from the car
Snow wars put boards in the front yard
Seems like them days'll never end 'til they gone
And you wishin' you had 'em back again
Fake snow on the tree 'cause there was none on the ground
Had no chimney for the Santa Claus to come slidin' down
And nah, they ain't even bother with the wrappin' of the gifts
But we was happy for the presents so we didn't give a shit
No hit from the belt, I felt like nothin' was wrong
The only time I recollect that everybody got along
New year on the way had me hopin' for the best
So I remember that day much better than the rest
Lost in the holiday glow
A million miles away from all the problems, don't you know?
The monetary solitude in the North Pole
I've been blowin' up another one and blowin' out smoke
Let the memories flow like snow
Lights, easy lights, Sunday with the cruise control
Life's not so bad when you let it go
Tomorrow is another day, I'ma have to let you know
A ho-ho-ho is what it felt like
'Cause I was broke as a joke with no male right
And it was Christmastime, it didn't feel right
Pockets broke and busted like a tail light
Gotta do somethin' to change up the function
And all of a sudden the perfect combustion
Get to robbin' and stealin' the wheelin'
And dealin' with all that I'm feelin' I'm reelin' in sorrow
No hope for tomorrow, we're legally ballin'
Was how I got to get me a swallow
I wouldn't follow bein' broke like a bottle
But no matter the road went, oh shit the police comin'
I got to go quick, runnin' like noses, I'm surroundin' it's so thick
I heard the sound of the gun click, on your fuckin' knees to bring the cuffs and they come get
A bad predicament that I'm stuck with
Just another criminal on Christmas gettin' caught doin' dumb shit
Lost in the holiday glow
A million miles away from all the problems, don't you know?
The monetary solitude in the North Pole
I've been blowin' up another one and blowin' out smoke
Let the memories flow like snow
Lights, easy lights, Sunday with the cruise control
Life's not so bad when you let it go
Tomorrow is another day, I'ma have to let you know
Lost in the holiday glow
A million miles away from all the problems, don't you know?
The monetary solitude in the North Pole
I've been blowin' up another one and blowin' out smoke
Let the memories flow like snow
Lights, easy lights, Sunday with the cruise control
Life's not so bad when you let it go
Tomorrow is another day, I'ma have to let you know
