lirik lagu tammy campbell brooks - the ghetto santa claus
[verse 1]
i was half sleep
when i saw a black man
dressed in a santa claus suit
tap on daddy’s window
asking for directions to the local mall
i must have been dreaming
because it couldn’t be santa claus
[verse2]
there was no pale skin
white beard or jelly belly
or mrs. claus
he carried no sack of toys
for the boys and girls
it was night
but there was no red~nose reindeer in flight
[verse 3]
maybe kevin was right
the day he shouted
“there’s no such thing as a santa claus. y’all parents lied.”
the teacher was appalled as the kids cried
and out went kevin straight to dеtention hall
[pre~chorus]
the next day i saw thе same man dressed in red
talking to my next~door neighbor mr. ed
his smile was bright
and missing two t~~th on the bottom right
but his words stayed in my head as he sang
[chorus]
i’m the original santa claus you see
they tried to erase and change my history
i’m the real claus
some even call me
the ghetto santa claus
because i don’t come down no chimney
instead, i hang on the streets
i’m the original santa claus
there’s no escaping me
one day the world will see and my people will be free
[verse 4]
i began to ponder
is this why i never left cookies
only to wake up on christmas day
year after year with limited food, no presents
and mama and daddy trying to explain?
a fabricated tale to tell
not willing to play
and the black santa claus sang
[chorus]
i’m the original santa claus you see
they tried to erase and change my history
i’m the real claus
some even call me
the ghetto santa claus
because i don’t come down no chimney
instead i hang on the streets
i’m the original santa claus
there’s no escaping me
one day the world will see and my people will be free
ho ho ho…
i’m the ghetto santa claus
