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
