Black Santa

They used to tell a tale about a man on the block Had a long grey beard and Jordan Twos he would rock Sometimes he'd switch out Bally other day's Balance News And he kept an eye on crews which cliques was following rules Who was putting in work and who was staying up late Who took less than a half to give his cousin a plate Who put in extra on a bag when the connect had a sale And used the rest of the profit so shorty made bail Who was keeping up with studies extra readings and such Everything is math and physics don't be eating too much This brother had an eye on the kids at the shop Which ones was stealing candy making life hard for pop Which ones was cutting school and talking back to they moms Which ones was falling back apologizing for wrongs Every year around December yo this brother would flex They said he had a long list and your name might be next Black Santa The brother wore red but he would show out for blue Ain't matter black or white when he showed love to you They said he started small but over time he had grew From worm to butterfly still staying hi cuz you knew But things was going wrong the block was losing the hope Ain't no candy Christmas morning just got stockings of soap Inflation going up with isolation can't cope Students dropping out of school cuz it's more money in dope But Black Santa showed up and put some goat in the pot Curried up some Sunday dinner grab a plate it's a lot When the block woke up it was presents in wrap Gap jeans fresh Adidas X box fitted Jays Cap Everyone was happy even granny had smiled Black Santa saved Christmas with a holiday freestyle Spreading out the wealth with these generous bars Happy New Year to all may you stay out the squad car Black Santa (Guess who's back with gifts for all the kids and Dope beats and plans for mans we still missing Co-sign my lines to find the ambition Y'all know the time the shine will keep glistening)
