20 Classic Christmas Lyrics to Celebrate The Holiday Season 

Damn, look at em sittin there, cats missin their chance 

Pissin their pants for opportunities and disappear into a bar stool 

Pardon you for thinkin I forgot about 

The way that children act when the stars come out 

It would be too much like right for them to tune up their sight and then 

Pursue something tight within, the blue ugly life they're in 

Liked your grimace but I must admit it's been a while 

Since my outer adult disciplined your inner child 

I've taught you the limits now when I crack your slumber 

I expect you to say, "Thank you sir, can I have another?" 

Your chance to wonder is up holler enough talkin 

So they won't be caught off guard when I'm knockin the dust off em 

Plus tossin em in a moshpit, my village sacrifices virgin rappers 

Who don't do the Rites of Passage 

Curl em backwards till they faces touch they asses 

Mail em off the parage way and don't insure the package 

Burned your vermin asses, learned your nervous habits 

In turn my current status lefts serpents swervin backwards 

I rock parties where half the crowd is rappers 

And analyze my diction as if their opinion matters 

I splatter patterns of poetic eloquence 

Mutterin bone shudderin utterin sense, they fluter and twitch 

The ironic part of it is, I ain't tryin to scare these kids 

Just tryin to connect them to the heritage 

Photos 

Beneath the outer layer the train is black 

You just don't disrespect the people that lay the tracks 

You love this human expression and they gave you that 

And so the least y'all can do is try and pay em back 

I said beneath the outer layer the train is black 

You just don't disrespect the people that lay the tracks 

You love this human expression and they gave you that 

And so the least y'all can do is try and pay em back 

You ain't the first, you will not be the last 

Contribute 

Do your shit, step the fuck off 

You're not half as important as you think you are
