[Bit 1]
Oh man, I was raised in the ghetto and I hate the ghetto.
The ghetto stole Christmas from me, like physically and mentally at the same time.
And then a week before Christmas,
they came and took everything, even our decorations.
And then my whole family was downstairs
and they were crying, but then I looked at my cousin, Deli,
and because we were both like six years old
and we had like a childlike innocence,
we both realized it doesn't matter.
Santa's still coming.
And so we started getting kind of happy
and kind of dancing and my grandma was like,
"Why the fuck are you dancing over there?"
And I was like, "Grandma, Santa's coming, don't worry.
We all can rejoice."
And...
She said, "Nigga, Santa ain't real."
But it was placed back there shortly after
because my uncle, my uncle Chris,
'cause you can't smell Christmas without Chris.
He came in and he was like, he looked at my dad
He was like, "Yo, why you ain't got no decorations
and presents for the kids?"
And we told him what happened.
He said, "That won't do."
And then he came back into the house a couple of hours later,
like a fully decorated tree and presents
from somebody else's house.
So we just started opening them in the Zinn.
You know what I'm saying?
I got a Green Ranger and a Bobby Playhouse.
We re-regridgedified the neighborhood that day.
