Winter Wonderland

I know you got them people you ain't seen in awhile

Thought about y'all when I wrote this shit

Wonder how y'all came out and shit

And how you ended up

Whether you have-, you have kids or somethin', I don't know

Yeah, 'Ville shit

Winter wonderland, winter wonderland

Growin' up, my mama layin' with some other man

Nigga put his hands on me like my poppa

Maury Povich, motherfucker, you are not the father

No need to holla 'cause that nigga live so far away

I wonder if he'll call today?

Such a hard pill to swallow, I hit

The kitchen, look what momma made

Turn on the television, just another homicide

This time it was around the way, down the street

And my mother say when my brother's age, went to school with him

Rode the bus with him, he was cool with him

He was just with him and a few hit him

Pop-pop-pop-pop-pop, damn, right before Christmas

Eyes get watery, stepfather say

"It's a cold world, now, nigga go do the dishes," this is

Winter wonderland, winter wonderland

Swear, I gotta make it out or I'm a goner, man

I wanna see New York or even California, man

So I'ma kill this shit and hope that I'm a wanted man, livin' in a

Winter wonderland, winter wonderland

Yeah, I know it'll be snowin' in the mornin', man

I wanna see New York or even California, man

So I'ma kill this shit and hope that I'm a wanted man

And I pray the Lord bring everything that I ask for

I pray the Lord bring everything that I ask for

I pray the Lord bring, pray the Lord bring everything that I ask for

I pray the Lord bring everything that I ask for

How long does a dream last?

How much steam you need to make this thing last?

As a boy, time creep up 'bout real slow, as a man, now it seems fast

Too fast, in fact, one day you get laughed at that

The next day you make a million off of classic tracks

But, you know, typical Jermaine, dreamed of gettin' to the game

Finally got the ball and just passed it back

But one day, and you gon' have to shoot that bitch, nigga

Don't be scared to wear the shoe that fits, nigga

You a star, it's only doubt that could dowse your flame

Before it rains, better lose that shit, nigga

Fuck that, I bust back, livin' with trust that

I am the maker of my own damn destiny

Pen in hand, cookin' up my own damn recipe

For success, though life stressin' me, won't get the best of me, no

Winter wonderland, winter wonderland

Swear, I gotta make it out or I'm a goner, man

I wanna see New York or even California, man

So I'ma kill this shit and hope that I'm a wanted man, livin' in a

Winter wonderland, winter wonderland

Yeah, I know it'll be snowin' in the mornin', man

I wanna see New York or even California, man

So I'ma kill this shit and hope that I'm a wanted man

And I pray the Lord bring everything that I ask for

I pray the Lord bring everything that I ask for

I pray the Lord bring, pray the Lord bring everything that I ask for

I pray the Lord bring everything that I ask for
