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

Y'know he left us, he was always there for us. Y'know there were a lot of that happened I didn't understand.

So of course
