Lyrics Nappy Roots – Nappy Holidays
Text:
Yeah let us remember the reason for the season
They say it’s better if you’re givin’ than receivin’
I think it’s what ever religion that you believe in
Yeah Silent Night all has come the kids are even sleepin’
Deck the halls, shoppin’ malls, a glass and all I thank the Lord
That I made it through another year
I gotta say, peace and seasons greetings to all of y’all a Nappy Holiday (holiday)
Yeah, uh, we all up before dawn
The kids all excited ’cause the presents were the bomb
And I’m excited too I got my new shoes on
While I can’t play the box ’cause the Blue’s Clues on
Really I’m just happy ’cause I got to see another year
You know the older you get the more your purpose is clear
Some of these faces I ain’t seen in so long
But as long as I’m alive you will always have a home
So Nappy Holidays
So give me family give me friends and give me joy give me tears
Give me hope and grant me wisdom show me love through the years
It’s Christmas time when family is near
It’s Christmas time when we just forget our fears
How I wish it’d last through the year
Oh won’t you stay awhile, awhile
Won’t you stay here awhile
This Christmas is different had some death in the family
Felt odd but I thank God for what’s left for my family
As I sat on the floor about my mama’s leg asked her to sing
The songs to me that she used to sing
Egg nogs and rum balls
My five year old is in love with Santa Clause
Gift card from Applebees y’all know Uncle V
Under the mistletoe if you’re lookin’ for me
Bought my son a game, me in my livin’ room deep
Cooked a turkey and a ham, left overs all week
Rang the new year in church my homies at the club
It’s the last night that Christmas tree is gonna be up
So give me family give me friends and give me joy give me tears
Give me hope and grant me wisdom show me love through the years
All my life it’s you
?
around on the floor
Everytime you always protect my heart
What you give me is irreplaceable
So, ohh, won’t you stay awhile, awhile
It’s Christmas time when family is near
It’s Christmas time when we just forget our fears
And have a wish that lasts through the year
Ohh won’t you stay here awhile
Awhile
Won’t you stay here a while
Want you to stay here awhile
My family is here, yeah
And get all your fear, yeah
