[Here we go]
|
|
Yo ho ho, I'm good to go
|
Hypin' on the mic cause God said so
|
He said, "Yo, go out and fish for men"
|
A genuine commission that put us in
|
To tell you about our Savior and Lord
|
So if you wonder what's up well, you're in store
|
For more than a happy, go-lucky tune
|
About Christmas and how it's coming soon
|
This song will tell ya how it all began
|
And how man [oh man] seemed to change that plan
|
Know this to be true in black and white
|
God's Word said so so you know that's right
|
It's Christmas time
|
|
(chorus)
|
Yo! Ho! Ho! Ho! [repeat 3x]
|
We're good to go
|
[repeat 2x]
|
|
A Benz pulled up figured it was dis
|
So on twelve twenty-fifth give me all the gifts
|
I mean, each year Christmas rolls around
|
For mucho gifts the T was down
|
[From] stereo, mixers, to microphones
|
I caused pops to take ridiculous loans
|
Until a few years back I attended a play
|
About Christmas and it went this way:
|
People were illin' all across the land
|
It was tax season and the king had a plan
|
He sent all the people back to where they were born
|
For a census which I'm sure they adored
|
As we move down the line things start to get hairy
|
God chose Joseph and a virgin named Mary
|
By this time I was on the edge of my pew
|
But hold up I gotta break for a few
|
|
(repeat chorus)
|
|
(bridge)
|
It's Christmas time
|
And all the gifts I find
|
But true love is
|
Found in Jesus Christ
|
Gloria
|
[It ain't jingle bells, baby]
|
|
Mary was a virgin but laden with child
|
Yo doc! [yes?] ponder that for a while
|
They grabbed a couple of mules started across the land
|
Their destination was called Bethlehem
|
Ya know, night had fallen they arrived in a fix
|
Cause every inn was full even Motel 6 [word!]
|
They got it goin' on in the west side of town
|
It wasn't quite home but they had a bed down
|
On this very night she delivered a babe
|
It was a boy [God's Son] comin' into the world to save
|
And unbind mankind from a serious debt
|
Called sin that God couldn't forget
|
Without sendin' His Son as a gift to man
|
He lived to be thirty-three and then died
|
For the plan of salvation so the choice is yours
|
The true gift of Christmas ain't found in stores
|
|
Yo, where's little drummer boy?
|
|
(repeat chorus)
