[Intro]
Sleepin' by the tree
Hopin' Santa Claus got some gifts for me
Sleepin' by the tree
(Hey look out look out look out, yeah, ohhh)
Sleepin' by the tree
Hopin' Santa Claus got some gifts for me
(I said I wanna roll)
Sleepin' by the tree
Hopin' Santa Claus got some gifts for me
Sleepin' by the tree
[Chorus]
How about that
Gifts under the tree
Somebody care about me
It was just another Christmas
'Til my daughter sent me kisses
Then my feelings got up in it
Now I'm down to spread the spirit
Look out
[Verse 1: Snoop Dogg]
My mama told me
Ya might not get a gift
A man in a mutha
'Cause it's already the 25th
And I ain't gotta gift yet
I'm upset, I'm ready to go steal some shh
Ready to go and deal some shh
See Christmas is supposed to be fun
Tearin' open gifts, comparin' 'em, playin' wit your loved ones
All of my cousins, man they got everything
ColecoVisions, they even got a green machine
While I'm sittin' at the pad, mopin' and mad
Lovin' my mama but I'm hopin' my dad come through with a big bag
Tappin' on the front door
Take me on a shopping spree to my favorite steez-ore (C'mon)
Let me get what I want, let me get what I need
Is it real? It must be a dream 'cause the hood that I come from don't believe in no Santa Claus
Mama was Santa Claus, my mama was Santa, dog
And I love her to death despite I might not get what I been needin'
Long as I'm breathin'
See 'cause she taught be 'bout life and that's a trip
If you livin' on Christmas, then that's your gift
How 'bout that?
Nah homie how 'bout this?
See 'cause I'm gonna put you on my xmas list
'Cause I care about it, don't worry bout it, 'cause it was rowdy get crowded, 'cause I invited everybody 'cause that's what Christmas is
You supposed to spread love, so I'm gonna spread love and give it to those who ain't got none yeah give it up
[Chorus]
How about that
Gifts under the tree
Somebody care about me
It was just another Christmas
'Til my daughter sent me kisses
Then my feelings got up in it
Now I'm down to spread the spirit
Look out
[Verse 2: Nate Dogg]
Ho ho ho, I said it's Christmas, it's Christmas, what do I got?
Another day of being blessed, to be here on the spot
Up to 22 inches crawling down on the block
I say the Christmas season but my mama freshly dropped
My kids havin' a beautiful Christmas, Daddy was glistenin'
Listenin' to the beat of the crisp Christmas spirit
The 24th eve and everybody know
Houses lit up like the sun, the whole block glowin'
Home-cooked meals, candied yams, girls shakin' it yeah
This how we do it at the Christmas jam
I get gangsta on Christmas with some Jack in the sack
Open up the gifts, kick back and relax
Everybody feelin' joyful and blessed on the occasion
This right here is the shh, that's what I'm sayin'
A Dogg Pound Christmas and a Dogg Pound New Year
Pop them bottles, take that swallow
Celebrate it for the man up above
It's the Christmas spirit, so show 'em some love (it's Christmas!)
[Chorus]
How about that
Gifts under the tree
Somebody care about me
It was just another Christmas
'Til my daughter sent me kisses
Then my feelings got up in it
Now I'm down to spread the spirit
Look out
[Verse 3: Kurupt]
My mama told me and always tried to show me
That when you do good, good things happen to you
But there was times when I didn't think all that was true
Please, sweatin' like a million degrees
But it's Christmas time and me and mama shoppin' for trees
I can't help but think if I did cool or not
If I should keep my cool or not
I remember searchin' the whole house for toys
This is all about the mystery, Christmas joy
When I was young, I used to hear stories about
You know, reindeer, sleds stoppin', hoppin' out, in and out, then back on route
Some places, snowflakes fall out the sky
But now we have Christmas parties, kids of our own
It's a whole different ballgame now that we grown
Now sipping Hen' and smokin' on a Christmas bong
[Chorus]
How about that
Gifts under the tree
Somebody care about me
It was just another Christmas
'Til my daughter sent me kisses
Then my feelings got up in it
Now I'm down to spread the spirit
Look out
How about that
Gifts under the tree
Somebody care about me
It was just another Christmas
'Til my daughter sent me kisses
Then my feelings got up in it
Now I'm down to spread the spirit
Look out
