December

(앨범: Rittzmas - 2020)

[Rittz:]
Yeah, it's crazy right?
Shit always seems to get tough around December, you know?
I had a fan send me a DM the other day, I'd like to check up on 'em
Told 'em "Happy Holidays"
He wrote me back and said this

I just don't look forward to Christmas
Last few years have been different
Feel like I've been stripped of all my dignity and my income
My kids up, I ain't got no breakfast right this minute
Gotta put in overtime at work and try to buy 'em presents
Presently all my family plans to try to come visit me
There's no way I could pay to feed 'em and put up my Christmas tree
Shit, it's sad my kids don't even misbehave
Wish that I could buy 'em every gift that's on the list they made
I pick up an extra shift at work, it's late, my feet are throbbing
My boss said "Come and see me" in his office, I'm scared I might get fired
But it's there he said that all my hard work ain't go unnoticed
Wrote a check and said "Here's your Christmas bonus"
I'm really hoping Christmas

[Candice:]
I just hope that Christmas is better this year
'Cause every time December's here I end up shedding a tear
I hope that Christmas is better this year
'Cause every time December's here I end up shedding a tear
December's here

[Rittz:]
I was dumb at 19 years old
And the girl finna had at the time
Was the world, [?]
And I'm sure you could identify
[?]
So we love, but blind at the same time
I bought clothes from Victoria's Secret
Looking lame in the checkout line
But it's Christmas, get her what she wants
Fuck the costs, 'cause she worth the amount
I tried to call her later in the evening
"Something wrong? 'Cause you sound kinda down"
She said "I don't know how to say this
These words are sorta hard coming out
And I hate that it's almost Christmas
Me and you just aren't working out"
Now then to make a long story short and down
Spent a holiday by myself in my room
With the gifts that I bought her laying on the bed
Punishment 'cause I kept smelling her perfume
This bullshit is parked outside the house
On the night that her family exchanged gifts
I could see her in the window with a dude
Spent Christmas mad 'cause I ain't him
Just ain't him, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Candice:]
I just hope that Christmas is better this year
'Cause every time December's here I end up shedding a tear
I hope that Christmas is better this year
'Cause every time December's here I end up shedding a tear
December's here

[Ekoh:]
Yeah this was back in 2009 when that family was still strong
I was stuck way on the east coast try'na get myself home
Usually I'm like so depressed and I hate the holidays, yo
But this time I'ma give it one good try and do my best to let go
So even though work sucks and it don't pay
And the girl that I love doesn't wanna stay
I'ma put that all aside for a couple days
When I bought the ticket for the flight then it got delayed
"Hey Mom, sorry but I can't get there on the 25th"
Then she said "It's not Christmas if we're not together, so we'll wait 'til the 26th"
Yeah, so I hopped a flight the next day
But then when I landed, no one came to pick me up
I kept calling and when I finally get a hold of someone they say
My step-dad died that morning from an alcohol withdraw
Fuck Christmas

[Candice:]
I just hope that Christmas is better this year
'Cause every time December's here I end up shedding a tear
I hope that Christmas is better this year
'Cause every time December's here I end up shedding a tear
December's here
