[Intro]
You know you got them people you ain't seen in awhile
Thought about y'all when I wrote this shit, know what I'm sayin'?
Wonder how y'all came out and shit
And how you ended up
Whether you had— you had kids or somethin', I don't know
Yeah, 'Ville shit
[Verse 1]
Winter wonderland, winter wonderland
Growin' up, my mama layin' with some other man
Nigga put his hands on me like my papa
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 Mama made
Turn on the television, just another homicide
This time, it was around the way
Down the street and my mother say he was my brothers 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
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
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, ayy, 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 douse 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
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
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
