Soundtracks - Christmas In Hollis Lyrics Darryl McDaniels lyrics

It was December 24th on Hollis Ave after dark When I seen a man chilling with his dog at the park I approached them very slowly with my heart full of fear Looked at his dog, oh my God, a illin' reindeer But then I was chillin' because 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 must of dropped his wallet smack dead 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, matching car with ease But I'd never steal from Santa, 'cause that ain't right So I was 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 is for me It's Christmas time in Hollis, Queens Mom's cooking chicken and collard greens Rice and stuffing, macaroni and cheese And Santa puttin' gifts under Christmas trees 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 egg nog The rhymes that you hear are the rhymes of Darryl's But each and every year we bust Christmas carols Rhymes so loud and proud to hear it It's Christmas time and we got the spirit Jack Frost chillin', the hawk is 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 DMC with the mic in my hand And I'm chilling and coolin' just like a snowman So open your eyes, lend us a ear, we want to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
