Happy Holidays!
Nametag Alexander
“Next Year” (prod. by DJ DDT)
lyrics
[Hook]
For the holiday I just want the bills paid,
for the holiday I just want my debt clear,
so I don't gotta borrow, and I ain't tryna starve
I ain't tryna go broke come next year
For the holiday we just want the bills paid,
for the holiday we just want our debt clear,
so we don't gotta borrow, and we ain't tryna starve
we ain't tryna go broke come next year
[Verse]
We in the spirit when the holiday come around
all the kids thinkin’ Santa Clause is comin to town,
the grown folks got the egg nog wit the alcohol it's a celebration,
so here's another round, remember how I used to get the family
hand me downs, but it's gotten better now I'm lookin like
look at me now, momma had them gifts on layaway for Christmas
but it was months prior so they must've been expensive, can barely
afford it if you gotta pay a mortgage and insurance on that Ford we
can't afford to go poor again...we gotta budget for a bit, oatmeal
lookin like porridge in the mornin', skip lunch, Ramen noodle dinner
ain't orderin' nothin' from the restaurants, I'm savin' up just to get
presents for the rest of us, ain't no overspendin' either I'll be savin'
just enough, holiday text blasts from the fam keepin' in touch (sayin)
[Hook]
For the holiday I just want the bills paid,
for the holiday I just want my debt clear,
so I don't gotta borrow, and I ain't tryna starve
I ain't tryna go broke come next year
For the holiday we just want the bills paid,
for the holiday we just want our debt clear,
so we don't gotta borrow, and we ain't tryna starve
we ain't tryna go broke come next year
