Christmas in Hollis

It was December 24th on Hollis Ave in the dark
When I see a man chilling with his dog at the park
I approached him very slowly with my heart full of fear
Looked at his dog, oh my God, an ill reindeer
But then I was illin' cause the man had a beard
And a bag full of goodies, 12 o'clock had neared
So I turned my head a second and the man was gone
But he left his drivers wallet smack down on the lawn

I picket the wallet up and then I took a pause
Took out the license and it cold said "Santa Claus"
A million dollars in it, cold hundreds of G's
Enough to buy a boat and matching car with ease
But I'd never steal from Santa, cause that ain't right
So I'm going home to mail it back to him that night
But when I got home I bugged, cause under the tree
Was a letter from Santa and the dough was for me

It's Christmas time in Hollis Queens
Momma's cooking chicken and collard greens
Rice and stuffing, macaroni and cheese
And Santa puts gifts under Christmas trees
Check and decorate the house with lights at night
Snow's on the ground, snow white so bright
In the fireplace is the yule log
Beneath the mistletoe as we drink eggnog
The rhymes that you hear are the rhymes of Darryl's
But each and every year we bust Christmas carols

Rhymes so loud I'm proud you hear it
It's Christmas time and we got the spirit
Jack Frost chillin', the orchids out
And that's what Christmas is all about
The time is now, the place is here
And the whole wide world is filled with cheer

My name's Luminati with the mic in my hand
And I'm chilling and coolin' just like a snowman
So open your eyes, lend us an ear
We want to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

It's Christmas time in Hollis Queens
Momma's cooking chicken and collard greens
Rice and stuffing, macaroni and cheese
And Santa puts gifts under Christmas trees
It's Christmas time in Hollis Queens (it's Christmas time)
It's Christmas time in Hollis Queens (it's Christmas time)
It's Christmas time on Yonge and Queen (it's Christmas time)
