Christmas in Hollis

It was December 24th on Hollis Ave in the dark When I see a man chilling with his dog in the park I approached very slowly with my heart full of fear Looked at his dog, oh my God, an ill reindeer But then I was illin' 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 had gone But he left his driver's wallet smack dead on the lawn I picket the wallet up 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 all the dough was for me It's Christmas time in Hollis Queens Mom's cooking chicken and collard greens Rice and stuffing, macaroni and cheese And Santa put 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 you hear are the rhymes of Darryl's But each and every year we bust Christmas carols Rhymes so loud and prod you 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 D.M.C. 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!
