Christmas in Harlem

Right after autumn falls

Soakin’ it all in

Then we go hit the mall

Even though we ain’t ballin’

Feels like we bought it all

The mistletoe’s right here

Come give a kiss to Santa Claus

Merry Christmas to all, and all a good night

Huh, now we all livin’ the good life

Yeah, though it’s forty below the wind chill

And we wipin’ snow up off the windshield

It’s still, wonderful night to be alive, baby

And I’m, so happy I’m with my baby

And we a little late with the Christmas gifts

Rushin’ for the mall, don’t trip

You know I drive crazy

The streets lit up, it feel like Christmas officially

Told her that

“You the star at the top of my Christmas tree”

My only question is, “Where my presents?”

She said, “Shhh,”

She got a gift for me that ain’t for the kids to see

Well, I like the way you think, mami

Now pour some more eggnog in you drink, mami

You've been a bad girl, give Santa three kisses

Gave her the hot chocolate, she said “It’s Dee-ricious”

Christmas in Harlem

Right after autumn falls

Soakin’ it all in

Then we go hit the mall

Even though we ain’t ballin’

Feels like we bought it all

The mistletoe’s right here

Come give a kiss to Santa Claus

Merry X-mas, Santa Claus cherry X6

They ain't hear my rain, dear

Make it snow on the next chick

Got enough toys, wondering what's my next pick

Before my exit, it get diamond rolex reckless

Big bags, Got everything on the checklist

Necklace, Baguette wrist

Pockets fat, they Precious

Give Ma a peck kiss, look and tell her she precious

Lighting up the sour, this tree give me the best gifts

And I remember when I couldn't play Santa Claus

No reindeers, just horses and a Panamera Porcshe

We on two fifth shopping, what the damage cost

I got your fam while you bidding in the can up north

Woops, I’m at Niemens I hope they still got em

She want the thigh high spikes with the red bottoms

Let's make a toast cause Christ is born

We gon’ party all night til the lights come on

Christmas in Harlem

Right after autumn falls

Soakin’ it all in

Then we go hit the mall

Even though we ain’t ballin’

Feels like we bought it all

The mistletoe’s right here

Come give a kiss to Santa Claus

Yeah, mom and dad I won't be home for the holidays

I’m over 800 miles away

In the city that's so pretty

Where the hustlers dash through the snow without a sleigh

Tell my family that I’m sorry that I gotta stay

I’m with Ye at the Macy Day parade

Letting the snow fall on my aviator shades

Even though I’m in New York I’m still repping for the A

Cyhi!

Christmas in Harlem

Right after autumn falls

Soakin’ it all in

Then we go hit the mall

Even though we ain’t ballin’

Feels like we bought it all

The mistletoe’s right here

Come give a kiss to Santa Claus

On the stoop of that Brownstone shovelling the brownstone

Santa’s on a diet, gotta get the pounds gone

Down town got me feeling like it’s Dow Jones

But uptown got me feeling like its down home

Snow like sugar hill

Chains on wheels

We turn our two doors into snowmobiles

We got our own style, no Soho feel

Put on your play clothes, how that logo feel?

Oh, pose for them photo stills

You dont wanna miss a moment

Where’s your NoDoz pills

I caught her looking at my Rollie as my mojo spills

Snowflakey on the bezel

Hope you know those real

Okay my white girl Veronica

Black girl Monica

Got me celebrating ChristmaHanuKwanzaakah

Rocking dashikis with a yarmulke

Where the Christmas tree at?

Let's design it up!

Christmas in Harlem

Right after autumn falls

Soakin’ it all in

Then we go hit the mall

Even though we ain’t ballin’

Feels like we bought it all

The mistletoe’s right here

Come give a kiss to Santa Claus

Lenox Ave to Saint Nick

Never seen St Nick

Just niggas selling the same nicks, the same bricks

Same hustlers running up the broadway

Thats where the snow’s at, taste it, foreplay

No turkey or greens, just Jimbo’s

Christmas lights in project windows

Shouts to the coldest on my barometer

Berkman, Shapiro, Kalina, Hanukkah

(My lawyers)

All the flashin’ lights up on a tree

The house lit up ni-ice

Wit’ your family’s where you wanna be

Here on Christmas night

When you wake up and you see the gifts

Don’t that make you feel go-ood?

So since we all snowed in in Harlem

Let’s have Christmas in the hoo-hood

All of the flashin’ lights

Yeah, when they shine so bright

Always for you and me

Baby, you’re Christmas Eve

If you like what you see

Won’t you come sit on my knee?

Tell me everything that you want

‘Cause, baby, I’m your Santa Claus

Christmas in Harlem

Right after autumn falls

Soakin’ it all in

Then we go hit the mall

Even though we ain’t ballin’

Feels like we bought it all

The mistletoe’s right here

Come give a kiss to Santa Claus
