about

Didn't have time to make artwork this morning so here's a creepy Christmas James Brown album cover. I'll make official artwork tomorrow...

lyrics

Follow me back to Rittenhouse Park
Before the awards before I had gotten my start
Before I had followed my heart
I was still playin football in my yard
Thanksgiving games in dickies and scarves
My cousin Mike always would hit us too hard
December would come & nobody thought
That Santa would ever have come to our part of the hood
It's not that we never were good
Well maybe a few/but what would he do?
If he ends up on our roof
None of us have a chimney to come through
But this year I'm thinkin our chances are better
I made him some cookies I wrote him a letter
My friends think I'm crazy I put on my sweater & woke up my neighbors when I started to yelling



Follow me back to Lynhaven ave
On the east side of the Mac/I was like 8 or maybe was younger than that
It was just me with my Ma & my Dad
I never would want I ain't have to ask
Just bring home good grades be quiet in class
But this year was different I ain't do too bad
But Sega dream cast I just had to have
All A's & B's except for one class
I couldn't explain the D for my math
My Ma would be cool but what bout my Dad
I thought he'd be beating my
But one day he came in my room & he sat
He knows that I'm trying & that's all he ask
Said Santa was comin & gave me some dap
Then gave me a Christmas hat & told me to

Invite my friends over cause

Follow me back to... Wait if I could remember
My brother was 4 so that's makes my sister.....carry the 3
Iziayah was 2 Shontelle was 10 I'm 23 & they were living
Matter of fact they had just moved out to Riverside
At the house right next to river line
And there was this kid
That had told my brother that Santa was rich
Or something else mean that's making him think
That he wont get any presents I had to explain
That Santa loves all & all love him
So wipe off that frown & make it a grin
Go get some ornaments go get some pins
And lets have Merry Christmas begin and I told him to
