Spoken

Love, sharing, giving, caring

That's Christmas!

Chorus 
Christmas, talkin' 'bout Christmas,

That's what Christmas really means!

Christmas, talkin' 'bout Christmas,

That's what Christmas really means!

Rap 1
Be thoughtful with your gift...someone's spirit you can lift;

Give someone in your house a helping hand.

Tell your mom, "I love you, I really want to hug you."

It ain't always got to be something big and grand.

Tell your dad you're glad he's still around;

Deadbeat dads can't be found!

That's something you can't wrap and put under the tree.

Tell him, "I want to make you smile; it might take a little while...

But I want to make you good and proud of me."  Yeah!

Verse
Now I know you want a toy...so does every girl and boy

That's a real possibility.

We need more than toys to exist...

Something else should be on your list...

We need to pray for more peace and harmony...Oh...oh...oh

Rap 2

At Christmas there's joy in giving so be grateful that you're living

In a country that will let you celebrate.

The story of God's love, Who sent His Son from above;

That's something we should all appreciate.

Christmas...a time for caring; we should not be afraid of sharing

The true meaning of this holiday.

It's a time of friends and laughter and take time just after...

The family will together stay if we together pray!

Rap 3
Christmas ain't baby dolls and Tonka trucks;

New tennis shoes that cost 200 bucks

Some kids today won't even get three good meals.

So while you're looking for Gucci, Louie and Liz..

Think about some crying kids

And how your act of kindness could make them feel.

Some child won't hear; "It's you mommy misses:

"For you mommy got love and kisses!"

Cause mommy's in a penitentiary.

Help that child get through this; show more love at Christmas.

Demonstrate some charity.
