"LIL DRUMMER BOY" WRITTEN, RECOEDED & PERFORMED HOOK
BEAT THE DRUM SO I KEEP CHANTING
LONG AS THE LYRICS COME KEEP JUS DANCING
MAKE A TOAST RAISE YOUR GLASSES
LIGHT IT PUT IT THE AIR BLAZE N PASS IT

1ST VERSE
BIG UP ALL THE BABY DEN WHE JUST COME
AND THE ELDERS DEM WHE MIND WHEN I WAS YOUNG
ALL MY AUNTIE ALL MY UNCLES AND MY COUSINS
TAUGHT ME ALL ABT MY CULTURE AND ALL OUR CUSTOMS
EVEN THOUGH THERE WEREN'T NO P TO LEAVE NO TRUST FUNDS
ZION TRAIN OR AT THE BUSSTOP WHEN THE BUS COMES
ON THE RD TO ZION CLOSE ENOUGH TO JUST RUN
ZIONS DOOR MIGHT NOT GAIN NO ENTRYT AS A PLUS ONE
SO CLEAN YOUR HEART AN B SURE UR SINS A WASH GONE
NUH BE A FOOL OR FOOTSTOOL FOR NO ONE TO COTCH PON
BE YOUR OWN BOSS CA THE ROADS R FULL A LOST DONS

PUT UR GUNS DOWN BUT UNNU A BUS A BLANK LIKE POMM POMM
