You want for Christmas? no What chu mean is all we got? it...
It's Christmas time in the home actin' all crazy again Momma got a bloody nose slapped her in the face again Why they always gotta so much? damn face swole Me and my bros in a panic If thats the case, yo I can't just around this Everything was fine, we had dinner We got all the Battle Cat, Adam and Cringer, Castle Greyskull and Snake Mountain
Now we sit and listen to y'all argue about how y'all this day And y'all just admitted to us fake So Kid Vishis ran away poutin' Now I gotta go and him He wasn't nothin' but a spoiled little boy Little with an innocent cry All he wanted to do was fit in with us And y'all bought him a pair of Timberlands and put in a real box I never forget boots, they was called Rugged Outbacks
Momma went and found at Payless and us promise not to say nothin' Pop came in like he ain't know nothin' about it Like, "Judy you send that boy out in public like that?" "He'll be fine, these ain't 'bout to be looking down at his feet for no treat" And she meant that Meanwhile, little arrogant nigga called himself stuntin' on me and Greg him talkin' about, "where your Timbs at?" But he was too to detect sarcasm so we was like, "nigga, your Timbs at?"
Thanksgiving in the Montgomery home Greg just came in here again Now tryna' cover for him, she afraid my gone punch him again Why you get drunk so much? damn! I you would just stay where you was at instead of coming all rude and disrespectin' all our father all the rules and shit, man
The mood switched me and Vicious playing Connect Four Our Favorite just came on the tube and it's ironic it's And I'm looking at Frank Dux and shit, you should split Before Daddy down these stairs of this basement and see you But he cut me off like, "That nigga ain't gon' do shit"
But the is he couldn't whoop my dad even if he was sober I know he tried once Ended up unconscious, a broke arm and a tooth was My big bro got a lot of problems He feel that we was all as kids He saw get dragged down all kinds of stairs like a ragdoll he was two
And this is back when Daddy used to cocaine, poor thang He had to be subjected to this he gets drunk He to losing it He the illusion that he gon' protect us all from the Big Bad Wolf up to him and prove some shit But all he really is stressing Mom out Gotta her goin', "boy you know your up there asleep The is ready, why don't you stop making all this noise and let him sleep?"
The done in the Montgomery home Dad has just awakened again Greg is all kinds of noise Daddy's on his way again "Who is that making all that God damn Greggy, get up here! You out there drinking again? What the fuck I you about coming in my house with disrespectful shit? Nigga the fuck you don' been?"
I'm thinking to Greg please don't say nothin' stupid, man Every time my Daddy in his and he in the hallway mad at somebody, I to God he got the same strength as Superman My brother turned and just walks in the kitchen Without even givin' an answer, with his back to him "I ain't talk to you nigga" "Nigga, you don't hear me to you?" Next thing my did is something that when it comes to my is something you just don't do He looked him right in his and he asked him, "what the fuck is you do?"
My father hit him so his body hit the stove The oven door hit the floor The fell out the oven whole and landed near the stairs Now Daddy standing Greg talkin' 'bout, "Nigga, you hurt! Get up, get up!" And here come talkin' 'bout, "Dad, I think he gon' get up" Then Momma damn near hysterical She called the police, the came is all in the street watching the cops takin' my out in handcuffs Damn, man that shit was real

"When you were a child up with grandad and granny Did you really feel like grandad was a father to you?" Absolutely, absolutely. All my friend's was walking out on them left and right. Y'know he never left us, he was always for us. Y'know there were a lot of that happened that I understand. Maybe I not have answered the the same way when I was a teenager, but I understand and appreciate him so much more as a man. Y'know 'cause he me respect and discipline and for your acts. So of course
"Do you think his approach as a really shaped the type of that you are today, or do you in some ways think it had to it, and if so, kind of negative traits do you try to having as a father right now, to me?"
When you have your own you'll
