Time of the Year

Yo
So I
Just wanna talk about
A special time
A special time, of the year
That we all love
Very dearly

There ain’t nothing like the smiles on their faces, the lights in the places
So many traditions passed down through the ages
No I’m not religious but I take part in exchanges
The heatings going up and I’m stuck on same wages
I’m a lover of the winter just because I like the coziness
My chocolate be the foamiеst, but no I’m not the holiest
Give into thе culture every year and we just don’t resist
The planet is a mess but with the animals we coexist
I don’t wanna see a dead turkey on the table
Pigs in blankets that I like are living and are playful
Best believe I got a vegan mushroom wellington
Cos I don’t wanna have cooked flesh off a skeleton
This ain’t just another happy song about the spirit
A bit deeper with my lyrics and I want you all to hear it
Life is like a lottery I hope you got your ticket
And try to crack a smile when your family come visit

And it’s the time of year that we all do love
But take a minute, listen up (we gotta fix up)
I know the prices are rising, it’s getting tough
And people are sleeping rough (we gotta love)
And it’s the time of the year where we all get loose
But there’s one thing that we should do (and that’s love)
I know you can’t keep warm with a simple tune
But it’s time that we heard some truth (and what’s that)

They gotta answer to it, but we’re just laughing through it
‘Cos it’s that time of the year where we acting stupid
It hits the 23rd, we book it off of work
We hit the pub, live it up, ’til we hit the dirt
But what’s the point in the laughing, the drinks and dancing?
A short term ploy in a country that’s classist
All the bodies piling up and down on Oxford street
And I don’t care for the king but I bet we’ll watch the speech
I don’t wanna see all the rich on TV
And I don’t wanna see the decorations on the IG
You ever bought a Christmas tree, damn it is pricy
I just wanna smoke the best trees with the wifey
Icy, I don’t wanna seem like a scrooge
But when googling Christmas I think it’s a ruse
Commemorate the birth of Jesus, oh wow
But at least we get gifts ‘cos that’s what it’s about

And it’s the time of year that we all do love
But take a minute, listen up (we gotta fix up)
I know the prices are rising, it’s getting tough
And people are sleeping rough (we gotta love)
And it’s the time of the year where we all get loose
But there’s one thing that we should do (and that’s love)
I know you can’t keep warm with a simple tune
But it’s time that we heard some truth (and what’s that)
