Christmas Wish
Date Written December 2004 Length 3:39
This is my Christmas rap from 2004. It is a moving story about a gangsta who feels that it would be a good idea if gang warfare was put aside during Christmas, just like the Christmas day football match between soldiers serving in the Somme. The song is very uplifting at the end when the singer actually gets his wish. One can only imagine what Christmas must have looked like in the 'nigga crib'.
Lyrics
"Yo. This is dedicated to my nigga Ramone. Taken from me on Christmas day. Always makes things so much harder at this special time of year. R.I.P."
Verse 1
If I had one wish for me to make amends
To see the victimz of the game niggaz rise again
I see no point; did they have to die?
While a nigga feels remorseful for the times gone by
Is it worth the pain for this lavish lifestyle
When seen from up above through the eyes of a child?
Smokin' in my crib I have one wish
That the niggaz lay their arms down for Christmas
Chorus 1
Yeah, and the tree ...
The festive spirit ...
Yeah
Verse 2
I think I'll have another wish now I'm on the scent
When I see hos touting muff and all my money's spent
It hurt me back in March when they gave it up for Lent
But that's not as special as Advent
Can they stop for just a day from tryin' to make a buck?
You know we're here to worship God, not to smoke and fuck!
A nigga don't need AIDS this time of year
I just wish the hos would pull their draws up for one day at Christmas
Chorus 2
Christmas cards ...
Carols ...
Yeah
Verse 3
I see my wish coming true 'round the nigga crib
We all laughin', jokin', singin' in the festive spir't
I hear my nigga Paulie tell me how he love the homie
We friends for fifteen years he never says this to me
We dim the lights and bring the mulled wine and Ferrero Rocher
My nigga Dan tells a story of the virgin Mary
My gift of hos got nothin' on the gift of love
I'm just glad the nigga found the time inside for Christmas
Chorus 3
Reindeer ...
Snowmen ...
Yeah
