I used to count down to Christmas
Back when i was a kid
Daddy buys us new clothes, maybe some toys for my sis
Colored lights and balloons hanging down from the ceiling
I could see my reflection on the shinny decorations
Mama take us to go see Santa Claus
Black Santa was a fraud and dirty business man
Cos you pay to see him and you have to buy your gift
Funny, but mehn you should've seen us on the 25th
All dressed up, bunch of kids, paying random visits to school teachers, neighbors and relatives
Getting treated to meals, money, Tom & Jerry cartoon
For us Christmas was like Halloween
Just no superman costumes
Well i'm grown now and i'm just struggling through life here
It's Christmas eve, watching movies, blowing smoke in the air
On my third bottle, dosing off on that arm chair and shit
Scary Christmas and nappy New year
Rice and chicken rice and chicken
All we had was rice and chicken
I was wishing i was wishing
If God could rain down from heaven
Every other thing in life we was missing
Cos i smell something good in the kitchen
Carol dey play for radio, boys dey shoot knockout for street
Kisses under the mistletoe
Rice and chicken rice and chicken
All we had was rice and chicken
All i want for Christmas is some money i my pocket
New shoes on my feet
Family happy, mah niggas happy
G' if only i could cross some shit off my wish list
Then i could wish you merry Christmas
And i ain't even tryna come off ungrateful
Thank God at least i got rice and chicken
Some can't even afford ice in they kitchen
Eyes in the sky wishing
But i still want better though, don't we all
The poor complain, the rich complain still looking for more
Know it's not easy being a man
Having to deal with all the responsibilities that come with being able to use your dick
Besides taking piss, like working double shit to those bills
Crazy if you got a wife and kids
Take a long walk down the streets, fireworks light up the night
Fill my gut with some liquor then go visit a whore house
Catch a bus back to the house, old man yelling you late and shit
Scary Christmas and nappy New year
Rice and chicken rice and chicken
All we had was rice and chicken
I was wishing i was wishing
If God could rain down from heaven
Every other thing in life we was missing
Cos i smell something good in the kitchen
Carol dey play for radio, boys dey shoot knockout for street
Kisses under the mistletoe
Rice and chicken rice and chicken
All we had was rice and chicken
