Verse 1
Ab
Ho ho ho'n, when you think
Eb
on Christmas it be snowin'
Ab
And people get their equal,
Eb
hit the full one, one for growin'
Ab
Ya knowin, we're flowin in the ghetto,
Eb
they get nothing
Ab
No toys for little boys, no curls
for girls and turkey stuffing
They laugh,
Eb
they know that half the presents ain't thick
Ab
You might just wanna ask,
Eb
"yo, where's my presents, Saint Nick?"
Ab
So think a little 'bout the people
minus money
And when you get your dough, why don't you show some kindness,
honey?
Go 'head, get fed,
and spread a little love
Give what you can afford just
like The Lord from up above
A quote, a note,
and one you won't believe
It's better to give than to receive
(Yo) It's Christmas,
no dissin', listen all you listeners
Think of all the prisoners that's
Eb
in prison during Christmas
Ab
Not tryin' to bring you down,
but tryin' to put you up on
Landed it on the table so you're
able to put your cup on
No snow, not a flurry,
Eb
so hurry don't you miss it
Ab
Not dissin' you, but wishin'
Verse 2
you a very merry Christmas
Ab
Give up the dough, give up the dough
Give up the dough on Christmas,
yo (merry Christmas)
Eb
Give up the dough, give up the dough
Ab
Give up the dough,
Verse 3
here we go, here we go
Ab
I'm from the ghetto, now this mean I get
No toys or presents beneath my tree
I wrote my list, I made my wish
Is this what Christmas means to me?
No snowflakes droppin',
Eb
can't go shop pin'
Ab
Rhymes I'm a- poppin',
Eb
to keep the hip- hoppin'
Ab
Why can't a Santa pause for the cause?
I'm gettin' mines,
Eb
you gettin' yours
That's how Christmas
is supposed to be
Ab
A very merry Christmas for every body
Eb
Fight poverty, give to the needy
Ab
Don't be like The Grinch 'cause
The Grinch is greedy
Deck, the malls with bows of holly
Eb
'Tis the season to be jolly
Ab
Eb
No presents for my tree yet
Ab
And I don't even know if any
Eb
gifts I'm gonna get
Ab
Happy holidays not like a lotta days
A few here, a few there, the new year
Season greetings are the
Eb
reasons for the cheer
Ab
If Santa Claus is coming to town
Hope it's my chimney he's coming down
Eb
Ab
On Christmas, because Christmas is
Verse 4
On Christmas, because Christmas is
Ab
Give up the dough, give up the dough
Give up the dough on Christmas,
Eb
Ab

Eb
Give up the dough, give up the dough
Ab
Give up the dough, here we go,
Eb
Ab
here we go (merry Christmas)
Eb
Give up the dough, give up the dough
Verse 5

Give up the dough on Christmas,
yo (merry Christmas)
Give up the dough, give up the dough
Give up the dough, here we go,
here we go (merry)
(Here we go, flow)
Verse 6
Ab
F
Ha- have a very merry,
merry, and hurry
And if you need a leader,
Ab
Run 'll be there for your blurry
Blurry sight,
and write a rhyme for the night
Christmas is the time
for giving not for the type
So open, your pockets,
your heart, unlock it
Dollars train from Hollis,
I give it like I clock it
Cold as the weather,
minus the humidity
Don't mistake,
humbleness and kindness for timidity
Christmas, this must be the time of year
Leggo of your Eggo, rather ego,
Eb
me go there
Ab
And here, my dear,
Eb
so give a kid a beer
Ab
'Cause every time you give, it's
coming back, let's get it clear
I'll be scopin', and hopin',
brothers lend a ear
So have a merry Christmas and a happy
Eb
Ab
new year (merry Christmas)
Eb
Give up the dough, give up the dough
Verse 7
Ab
Give up the dough on Christmas,
yo (merry Christmas)
Eb
Give up the dough, give up the dough
Ab
Give up the dough, here we go,
here we go (merry Christmas)
Eb
Give up the dough, give up the dough
Verse 8
Ab
Give up the dough on Christmas,
yo (merry Christmas)
Eb
Give up the dough, give up the dough
Give up the dough,
Ab
here we go, here we go
Verse 9
Ab
Yeah, that's right, give up the dough
I want my Ninja Turtles, I want my bike
I want my Sega Genesis,
I want my Nintendo
And turn my mommy lights
back on (word up)
