歌詞
[Verse 1]
Now, on the first day of Christmas, my homeboy gave to me
A sack of that Crazy Glue and told me to smoke it up slowly
Now, on the second day of Christmas, my homeboy gave to me
A fifth of the Hendog and told me take my mind of that weed
Now, on the third day of Christmas, my big homeboy gave to me
A whole lot of everything, and it wasn't nothin' but some game to me
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls
Make some noise for the one and only Boyz II Men
[Chorus]
Santa Claus
Is comin' straight to the ghetto
Ghetto, ghetto
Welcome to the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto, ghetto
Whether naughty or nice
[Verse 2]
Put the gifts under the tree but not go through the chimney (No way)
Kids around the world get what they want but only if they're winnin'
You gotta have the right sleigh to make it through the winter
You gotta make a way, get the pay for the day
And always remember
It's not about you, 'posed to be about them
And as long as you believe, he'll come through
He'll arrive
[Chorus]
Santa Claus
Is comin' straight to the ghetto
Ghetto, ghetto
Welcome to the ghetto, ghetto
Whether naughty or nice
[Verse 3]
Santa Claus on the ceilin', Jack Frost chillin'
I pinch the Grinch for bein' a holiday a villain
Seasons greetin's, all the proceedin's
Are brought to you by the church house, where we'll be eatin'
Chestnuts roastin' on an open fire
I'm singin' my jingle, where is Kris Kringle?
I didn't pout and I ain't even shout
I even stayed in the house
When the homies tried to sneak me out
Now, all I want for Christmas is my '64 Chevrolet
And a granddaughter for her grandmother, Beverly
Ain't that somethin'?
Nah, ain't that nothin'?
How it's Christmas time, on my rhyme steady bumpin'
[Verse 4]
Everybody happy, hair still nappy
Gonna steal a gift for my old grandpappy
Now catch me givin' out turkeys at the church house
Don't try to work me, just stand in line and everything is gon' be fine
[Chorus]
Oh, Santa Claus
Santa Claus is comin'
Is comin' straight to the ghetto
Comin' straight to the ghetto
Ghetto, ghetto
Welcome to the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto, ghetto
Comin' straight to the ghetto
[Chorus]
Oh, Santa Claus
Santa Claus is comin'
Is comin' straight to the ghetto
Ghetto, ghetto
Welcome to the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto, ghetto
Whether naughty or nice
[Outro]
Yeah
Whether naughty or nice
Coming through, straight up
Yeah
