I wrote the lyrics first on Christmas eve after listening to someone go on and on about all the things they were getting for Christmas. Their materialism made me sick. When I wrote and recorded the music I was listening to a lot of R&B and old school rap, so it came out like this. It music conveys a msg of gangsta and appropriate lyrics could easily be re-written, but I want to stay true to my orignal feelings.
Lyrics
Where were you when the Lord left his throne for our sake?
Where were you when the Lord gave us all on Christmas?
What would you do if you found a rat in your cake?
Who do you give your thanks to on Christmas day?
On Christmas day.
On Christmas:
He was born 2000 years from eternity.
He was scorned by His righteousness for you and me.
Do we know anything besides our own selfish schemes?
Do we feel anything beyond TV's silly dreams
On Christmas day?
On Christmas:
He will come again.
Jesus will come again.
Is he your enemy or your friend? Hmmm?
Where were you when the Lord left His throne for our sakes?
Where were you when the Lord gave us all on Christmas day?
What would you do if you found a rat in your cake?
Who do you give your thanks to on Christmas day?
On Christmas Day.
On Christmas.
He will come again.
Jesus will come again.
Is He your destiny or your end?
Where were you when the Lord left his throne for our sakes.
Where were you when the Lord gave us all on Christmas?
What would you do if you found a rat in your cake?
Who do you give your thanks to on Christmas day?
On Christmas day.
On Christmas day.
On Christmas day.
On Christmas day.
