Winter Wonderland

[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
