20 Dollar Christmas

I'm rushing home, but I left some food in the microwave
My momma called me, I don't answer 'cause I knew she'd text me
She told me, "Overworking money only buys a grave"
Reminded me 'bout holidays, and flight delays, and college papers

When I was seven, seven times was Monday night, uh
Just get the CD, and the huffy money's tight, uh
We'd celebrate like you just bought an ocean and a book for us
And put angel in my side to save both of us

Every year, you never needed help, momma
You take that 20-dollar tree and paint the bells, momma
I felt the time, I felt the point, I felt the L's, momma
And if you love it, I'ma cut the tree myself, momma

Since 2012, you been supposed to kick your feet up, uh
I got the wrap, I got the match, imagine if we light this tree up
Listen please, for someone who just gave you the world
'Cause she wrapped it, and gave it back and said, "I saved you, boy"

'Cause she wrapped it, and gave it back and said, "I saved you, boy"
Ah, that was, that was a good taker
