Christmas Missed Us

[Chorus: Exile]
I wonder why Christmas missed us
I wonder
I wonder why Christmas missed us
I wonder
I wonder why Christmas missed us
I wonder
I—I—I wonder
I—I—I wonder
I wonder why Christmas missed us
I wonder
I wonder why Christmas missed us
I wonder
I wonder why Christmas missed us
I wonder
I—I—I wonder—huh—wha—I wonder

[Verse 1: Blu]
It's probably 'cause I wanted so many gifts
G.I. Joes, Hulk Hogans
On my Christmas list
Now I'm asking for challenges
I wanted a Rolls Royce
My aunt had a Rolls Royce
But I can't be mad at her
She worked hard to get it
I worked hard for
Schwinn bikes and bus tickets
Look homie I bust writtens
It's not like I'ma doctor
A lawyer, professor
Even an employer, or a
McDonald's employee
I'm a L.A. B-Boy MC
I [? 0:54] seats
34 years old I get cheese
To rip shows and spit flows
I wish those with rich things
Could switch seats
With those on skid-row
Just to see
Who really got big dreams
You wouldn't believe
I had six point four million
Now I'm livin' on the streets
Should be fillin' applications
But I'm spittin' on a beat
Homie you trippin'
Next year I'ma have Christmas like a king

[Chorus: Exile]
I wonder why Christmas missed us
I wonder
I wonder why Christmas missed us
I wonder
I wonder why Christmas missed us
I wonder
I—I—I wonder
I—I—I wonder
I wonder why Christmas missed us
I wonder
I wonder why Christmas missed us
I wonder
I wonder why Christmas missed us
I wonder
I—I—I wonder—huh—wha—I wonder

[Verse 2: Blu]
I went to sleep at midnight
On Christmas Eve
And when I woke up the next mornin'
I was in Belize
They said Feliz Navidad
Gave me a ticket to Greece
I went to Greece they said go to Egypt
You could be a king
I went to Egypt they said go to Israel
You could be a god
I went to Israel and they shot me in my arm
I wonder why Christmas missed us
Where missiles blow
Instead of kisses under a mistletoe
I wonder will American greed take me under
Or will I give to people in need and feed the hunger
I pulled a gift from up under the tree
I read the note on it
Just so happens it was for me
I said G
Couldn't be
Not an underground MC
Using really bad words
Playing really loud beats
Why do you deserve the gift?
Matter of fact who is it from?
I read the note again
Damn
It wasn't from anyone
Yo!

[Chorus: Exile]
I wonder why Christmas missed us
I wonder
I wonder why Christmas missed us
I wonder
I wonder why Christmas missed us
I wonder
I—I—I wonder
I—I—I wonder
I wonder why Christmas missed us
I wonder
I wonder why Christmas missed us
I wonder
I wonder why Christmas missed us
I wonder
I—I—I wonder—huh—wha—I wonder

[Verse 3: Blu]
Now some might even ask
What Christmas is
'cause Jesus was born close to
Where Saint Nicholas lived
It's like
You could feel the gift of givin'
Gifts celebrated through Hanukkah
And on the twenty-fifth
When I was six
I shop lifted
And when I woke up on Christmas
I didn't get shit
One time I got a life sized
Cardboard penny
Matter of fact every Christmas
I got a pair of pennies
Some wake up on Christmas
And they don't have a penny
Some don't believe in Christmas
And some don't get any
So be grateful
Thankful
That you got a plateful
'cause everybody ain't that able (Yup)
Jesus got a place for you
And Buddha got a different birthday
But he got space too
Seven Wise Men
Followed the North Star
The night before
Celebrated annual
Just to remind you all

[Chorus: Exile]
I wonder why Christmas missed us
I wonder
I wonder why Christmas missed us
I wonder
I wonder why Christmas missed us
I wonder
I—I—I wonder
I—I—I wonder
I wonder why Christmas missed us
I wonder
I wonder why Christmas missed us
I wonder
I wonder why Christmas missed us
I wonder
I—I—I wonder—huh—wha—I wonder

[Outro: Exile as Santa]
Ho, Ho, Ho
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah whatever
Blu & Exile?
No, No—No presents for those guys
No—we're gonna just
Let's go back to the North Pole
Rudolph let's get outta here
