[Intro]
Ooh, this Christmas time
Ooh, let's talk about yours
Let's talk about mine

[Verse 1]
Mama, Grandma with my aunties cookin'
All the ladies stay in the kitchen
Staying' out the way
So that when my uncles start trippin'
They don't get caught up in the middle
Even thought they know
Them niggas gonna barge in with beef from 'bout twenty years ago
And they be sippin' so you know what this about to be
I'm takin' bets on who gonna knock over this Christmas tree
Somebody gonna fight
Somebody gonna cry
Somebody gonna try to leave
And they gonna squash it all right before it's time to eat

[Chorus]
Ooh, it's Christmas time
How you do with yours?
How I do with mine?
Ain't no difference
Ooh, this Christmas time
Let's talk about yours
Let's talk about mine
Talk about it

[Verse 2]
Runnin' round with my cousins
Talkin' shit playin' the dozens
Your momma so this, so that
Your lips so chapped, your pony tail strugglin' (Wow)
Then somebody get mad, run back tell your momma that you're out here cussin'
But momma don't trip, through, [?] in the egg nog
She already good & buzzin'
On the radio you hear same songs you don' heard every year (Merry Christmas)
Merry Christmas from the Temptations to Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer)
Never really get tired of the Christmas music, huh? (No)
Same here
Even with all the drama your favorite holiday (Yup)
Same here

[Chorus]
Ooh, it's Christmas time
How you do with yours?
How I do with mine?
Ain't no difference
Ooh, this Christmas time
Let's talk about yours
Let's talk about mine
Talk about it
Ooh, it's Christmas time
How you do with yours?
How I do with mine?
Ain't no difference
Ooh, this Christmas time
Ooh, let's talk about yours
Let's talk about mine
Talk about it

[Bridge]
No Santa, no Santa
He ain't comin' round
We ain't trippin' (No)
We ain't trippin' (No)
We ain't trippin'
We ain't even got no chimney for him to come down
So we ain't trippin'

[Verse 3]
Plus momma working double, triple shifts (Double, triple shifts)
For each and every one of them gifts (One of them gifts)
But momma said, "Don't be giving not fat white dude credit for my shit
'Cause if you got shit, I'm the reason you got shit
Momma we know
Momma we love you
Drama we know
Every holiday this how it goes

[Chorus]
Ooh, it's Christmas time
How you do with yours?
How I do with mine?
Ain't no difference
Ooh, this Christmas time
Ooh, let's talk about yours
Let's talk about mine
Talk about it

[Outro]
Ooh, Merry Christmas
