Nappy Holidays - Nappy Roots

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'

Except for Steven he caught mommy kissin' Santa Clause

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

Y’all know how that go

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
