Am
Christmas in the ghetto,

Am
Merry Christmas to the
C
people in the ghetto,
Am
your family's the only
C
Santa Claus you ever know
Am
C
It ain't no chimneys or stockings
in the projects,
Am
C
and if you get a gift it came out of pocket
Am
So be thankful
C
even if you get a small amount,
Am
C
it ain't the gift it's the thought
that really counts
Am
You know it's true
C
that money can't buy you happiness
So count your blessings
as you listen to me rappin' this
Am
And watch your kids
C
as they open up their presents
Am
C
To see their faces lightin' up like heaven
Am
C
I hope you got all the gifts
that you asked for
Am
Just give me eggnog, Hennessy,
Am
C
On to the hood first stop,
it's Glennie's house
Am
And get that bomb Christmas
C
dinner good lookin' out
Am
C
And after that roam the hood
till I'm dead broke
And Merry Christmas everybody
as I drink and smoke
Am
C
They don't have rights
Am
C
If I could say so
Am
C
Once again
Am
C
It's Christmas in the ghetto
Am
C
Kids are having fun
Am
C
The best way they know how
Am
C
But Christmas in the ghetto
Am
C
Ain't much to talk about
It's Christmas in
Am
C
With no toys for tots,
not for the kids and wats
Am
We had to play in the streets
C
in front of the dope spots
Am
C
And Christmas in the ghetto
was a major event
Am
C
That was the only time we seen
what momma money was spent
Am
C
And those were the days
a nigga kinda felt shame
Am
C
The only thing we afforded
was a Monopoly game
Am
C
We learned to make the be st
out of whatever we had
Am
But no time to bitch and cry,
C
times was already bad
Am
C
They started to get worse
as a nigga grew up
Am
And when I think about those days,
C
shit was fucked up
Am
See I won't get off in
C
to a niggas life story
Am
C
But Christmas in the ghetto
wasn't no peaches and glory
Am
C
Now I'll provide for my daughter
just to see her smile
Am
It makes me feel good
C
cause that's my child
Am
C
And it's still a gang of kids
less fortunate than me
Am
Cause Christmas in the ghetto
C
is a burning tree
Am
C
I don't have words
Am
C
If I could say something
Am
C
Once again
Am
C
It's Christmas in the Ghetto
Am
C
Kids are having fun
Am
The best way they know how
C
Am
C
But Christmas in the Ghetto
Am
Ain't much to talk about
C
It's Christmas in the Ghetto
December 25th, woke up with a fifth
Taking pictures of my kids
As they're cracking open their gifts
On a day to give and hope to receive
Am
C
Jehovah wit ness at my door
Knowing they don't believe
Am
C
We already know that Santa's
Am
ain't bringing us nothing
That mommy and daddy
C
Am
do ing all the stocking stuffing
C
The cookies and all the decorations
Am
C
Preparing for the Christ
mas celebration
Am
C
Ain't nothing wrong with seeing
a kiddo child smile
Am
C
Opening presents,
running around acting wild
Am
C
Thinking back when that was me
Am
Mama worked hard
C
and looked it out for the family
Am
C
We don't have much,
Am
C
if I could say something
C
Am
C
it's Christmas in the ghetto
Am
C
Kids are having fun,
Am
the best we can do
C
Am

But Christmas in the ghetto,
ain't much to talk about

It's Christmas in the ghetto
