Xmas Baby

Back then when my mom was alive
Yeah at Christmas time
It was one thing we would do
That would never fail
Is take the trip downtown to
Hear the Christmas carols
Coming out of the
County Jail and sometimes
Maybe sometimes well maybe just for me
I'd hear Happy Birthday from my
Real daddy
Cause I'm a Christmas baby
Born on Christmas Day
Overshadowed by the holiday
But if you'd come here then maybe
You'll sing happy birthday to me
Cause I'm a Christmas baby
Born on Christmas Day
Overshadowed by da holiday
But if you'd come here then maybe
You'll sing happy birthday to me
My morning's shot by NFL on TV
Ain't nobody but debt collectors
Are calling me. Yah
So I walk to the park
See a man dressed like Santa
Drunk as a skunk
While every church is singing Hosanna
And everybody else gets a cake
For their birthday
But not me
There's no special day to celebrate
Cause I'm a Christmas baby
Born on Christmas Day
Overshadowed by da holiday
But if you come here then maybe
You'll sing happy birthday to me
Cause I'm a Christmas baby
Born on Christmas Day
Overshadowed by da holiday
But if you come here then maybe
You'll sing happy birthday to me
As the late morning hour
Gently sighs
Teardrops fall straight down
From the sky
A kid runs past in some dirty sweats
Followed by a car
The driver's face dead-set
So I jog six blocks to my apartment
Landlord lookin' at me like he want the rent
Yank open the door and what a surprise
Damn raindrops musta caught me in the eye
Cuz my friends all hollerin'
And give me hugs
And everyone that's there starts to show me love
My girlie lays on me a deep French kiss
And I'm shocked
Man
I didn't expect this
Cause I'm a Christmas baby
Born on Christmas Day
Overshadowed by da holiday
But if you come here then maybe
You'll sing happy birthday to me
Cause I'm a Christmas baby
Born on Christmas Day
Overshadowed by da holiday
But if you come here then maybe
You'll sing happy birthday to
Meee
