Lyrics

Christmas in Harlem
Right after autumn falls
Soakin' it all in
Then we gon' hit the mall
Even though we ain't ballin'
Feel like we bought it all
The mistletoe's right here
Come give a kiss to Santa Claus
Yeah, uh, merry Christmas to all, and all a good night
Huh, now we all livin' the good life
Yeah, though it's forty below the wind chill
And we wipin' snow up off the windshield
It's still, wonderful night to be alive, baby
And I'm, so happy I'm with my baby
And we a little late with the Christmas gifts
Rushin' for the mall, don't trip, you know I drive crazy
The streets lit up, it feel like Christmas officially
Told her that "You the star at the top of my Christmas tree"
My only question is, "Where my presents?"
She said, "Shhh," She got a gift for me that ain't for the kids to see
Well, I like the way you think, mami
Now pour some more eggnog in your drink, mami
You been a bad girl, give Santa three kisses
Gave her the hot chocolate, she said "It's Dee-ricious"
Ha-ha-ha-ha
Christmas in Harlem (Yeah)
Right after autumn falls (Uh-uh)
Soakin' it all in
Then we gon' hit the mall
(I'm like bad Santa though)
Even though we ain't ballin'
(Come sit on my lap)
Feel like we bought it all
The mistletoe's right here
Come give a kiss to Santa Claus
Yeah, mom and dad I won't be home for the holidays
I'm over eight-hundred miles away
In the city that's so pretty
Where the hustlers dash through the snow without a sleigh
Tell my family that I'm sorry that I gotta stay
I'm with Ye at the Macy Day parade
Letting the snow fall on my aviator shades
Even though I'm in New York I'm still repping for the A
Christmas in Harlem
Fly high
Right after autumn falls
Soakin' it all in
Then we gon' hit the mall
Even though we ain't ballin'
Feel like we bought it all
The mistletoe's right here
Come give a kiss to Santa Claus
All the flashin' lights up on the tree
The house lit up nice
Wit' your family's where you wanna be
Here on Christmas night
When you wake up and you see the gifts
Don't that make you feel good?
So since we all snowed in in Harlem
Let's have Christmas in the hood
All of the flashin' lights
Yeah, when they shine so bright
Always for you and me
Baby, your Christmas Eve
If you like what you see
Won't you come sit on my knee?
Tell me everything that you want
'Cause, baby, I'm your Santa Claus, yeah
Christmas in Harlem
Right after autumn falls
Soakin' it all in
Then we gon' hit the mall
Even though we ain't ballin'
Feel like we bought it all
The mistletoe's right here
Come give a kiss to Santa Claus
