Christmas on Dobu Street

Ho-ho-hoin, what do you think, on Xmas it'll be snowin'

And people get their [unverified] for growin'

You knowin', we're [unverified] in da Ghetto they're gettin' nothin'

No toys for little boys, no curls for girls, the turkey stuffin'



They laugh, they have presents, ain't thick

You might just wanna ask, "Where's my present St. Nick?"

So think, a little about people minus money

And when you get some dough, why don't you show some kind of sunny



Go 'head, get fed and spread a little love

Get what you can afford just like the Lord from up above

A quote, a note and when you won't believe

It's better to give than to receive

(Yo)



It's Xmas no [unverified] listen all you listeners

Think of all the prisoners that's in prison during Xmas

Now try and bring your [unverified] to try and put you up on

Layin' it on the table, so you're able to put your cup on



No snow, no not a flurry, so hurry don't you miss it

Not dissin' you but wishin' you a very merry Xmas



Give up the dough, give up the dough

Give up the dough on Xmas yo

Give up the dough, give up the dough

Give up the dough

(Here we go, here we go)



I'm from the Ghetto, does this mean

I get no toys or presents beneath my tree?

I wrote my list, I made my wish

Is dis what Xmas means to me?



No snowflakes droppin', can't go shoppin'

Rhymes are a-poppin', to keep the hip-hoppin'

Why can't-a Santa pause for the cause?



I'm gettin' mine, you gettin' yours, that's how Xmas is supposed ta be

A very merry Xmas for everybody, fight poverty, give to the needy

Don't be like the Grinch, 'cause the Grinch is greedy

Deck the malls with balls of holly, it is the season to be jolly



No presents for my tree

And I don't even know if any gifts I'm gonna get

Happy holidays, not like a lot a days

A few here, a few there, to the New Year



Seasons Greetings are the reasons for the cheer

If Santa Claus is coming to town

Hope it's my chimney he's coming down

On Xmas, because Xmas is, on Xmas, because Xmas is



Give up the dough, give up the dough

Give up the dough on Xmas yo

Give up the dough, give up the dough

Give up the dough on Xmas yo

(Here we go, here we go)



Give up the dough, give up the dough

Give up the dough on Xmas yo

Give up the dough, give up the dough

Give up the dough on Xmas yo

(Here we go, here we go)

Here we go, flow



Have a very merry merry merry and hairy

And if ya need a leader, Run be there for your blurry, blurry sight

And write, a rhyme for the night

Xmas is a time for givin', not for the tight



So open your pocket, your heart, unlock it

Dollars straight from Hollis, I give it like I clock it

Cold is the weather, minus the humidity

Don't mistake, [unverified]



Xmas, dis must be the time of year

Lego of your ego, rather ego amigo be there

And here, my dear, so give a kid a beer

Cause everytime you give, it's coming back, let's get it clear



I'll be scopin' and hopin', brothers lend an ear

So have a merry Xmas and a happy New Year



Give up the dough, give up the dough

Give up the dough on Xmas yo

Give up the dough, give up the dough

Give up the dough on Xmas yo

(Here we go, here we go)



Give up the dough, give up the dough

Give up the dough on Xmas yo

Give up the dough, give up the dough

Give up the dough on Xmas yo

(Here we go, here we go)



Yeah that's right, give up the dough

(Yo)

I want my Ninja Turtles

I want my bike

I want my Sega [unverified]

I want my Nintendo
