Christmas Eve in Da Hood

Wuz de nite befo Crismmus;
And all ova da hood;
ereybody wuz' sleepin';
Dey wuz sleepin' good.

We hunged up our stockings;
An hoped like de' heck;
That old Santa Clause;
Be bringin' dat check.

All o'de fambily;
Wuz layin in de beds;
While Ripple and Thunderbird;
Danced through dey heads.

I passed out on na' flo;
Right nex to my Maw;
When I heard sech a fuss;
An thunk it mus be de law!!!"

I lookted out thru de bars;
What covered my doe;
'spectin' de sheriff;
Wif a warrent fo sho.

And what did I see;
I said, "Lawd look at dat!!"
Ther' wuz a huge watermellon;
Pulled by giant warf rats!!

Now ober all de years;
Santa Clause, he be white;
But looks liken us bros;
Gets a black Sanna dis nite.

Faster dan a Po'lees car;
My homeboy he came;
He whupped on dem warf rats;
An' called dem by name!

On Leroy, on 'Lonzo..
And on Rufus "G";
On Saphire, on Chenequa...

Dey wuz some site to see!!

As he landed dat watta' mellon;
Out der in da skreet;
I knowed it was fo' sho';
Da damndest site I ebber did see.

He didn't go down no chimbley;
He picked da' lock on my doe;
An' I sez to myself;
"Damn ! He done dis befoe!!!"

He had dis big bag;
Full of prezents I 'spect;
Wit Air Jordans and fake gold;
To wear roun' my neck.

But he wern't leaving prezents;
He was stealing my shit;
Got my drugs, got my guns
Got my burgular's kit!!

Wit my stuff in de bag;
Out da window he flewed;
I woudda' catchted him;
But he stoled my 'nife too!!

He jumped on dat wadda' mellon;
An' whipped out a switch;
He wuz gone in a seccon';
Dat son of a bitch!!

Next year I be hopin':
Anutha Sanna we git;
Cuz' diz here Sanna Clause;
Jus' ain't werf a shit!!!
