Spose - Christmas Song Lyrics






Grab the weed I got a story to tell
A couple years ago, It was Christmas night back in my home town Wells
The snow fall, about an inch an hour
And on the road just our pickup truck, snow plows
After fulfilling our obligations
Me and my man Phil met up to start blazin'
Around 8 sparked the back woods, on the back road, the wind chill blew the snow like satchmo
I asked "How was your Christmas?", he said "it sucked."
I asked "Why?", he said,"Man my sister's fucked
And if that slut died tonight it wouldn't be enough"
I asked for an explanation he just took another puff
He handed it to me, I told him "Mine wasn't better."
"I just got a couple corny-ass sweaters
And my family embarrassed me because apparently getting arrested twice in a month is worthy of a parody."
Just then, turned onto Bear's Den, saw a whip with a woman and a kid in it, in a ditch
Volkswagen the color of cocaine
With the front end buried inside a snow bank
Temperatures near zero man, it isn't May
No reception out here to call Triple A
It's safe to say if Phil and I hadn't drove by, this lady and her son could've frozen and died
We put the woods in the ash tray
Stopped the truck, put the gloves on, hopped out of the shit and walked that way
We asked if we could help, she said "Oh, thank God, yes." She looked blazed herself..
Her son shivered in the passenger, wearing a seat belt, he looked to be about 12
We said "No Prob," The son said "You're our guardian angels,"
We laughed and moved the truck at an angle
We hooked the chains up and put her in drive
We had 'em out faster than a first pitch pop fly
It was all thank-yous, and huggin'
Could've sworn I smelled Rum on the breath of the woman
Nonetheless, I gave her son a high-five, said bye hopped up in the truck and drove into the night
Never told anybody about the good deed of the two dudes in hoodies
Wish the story ended there

I awoke next morning with the sun
Reflecting off the snow in the yard out front
I felt fine in my flannel sheets
The day after a snow storm tends to bring clarity
And a shit load of shovelin'
I was still living in the home that my mother's in
I pulled the covers off, I felt quite alive as I reached to my phone that I had on silent
Now this was years ago now, but I recall I saw 16 texts, 31 missed calls
I knew something was awry..
I ran downstairs,mom tears in her eyes
And a mouth agape staring at the TV
I said "What happened?", I knew something was creepy
She just pointed at the screen
I walked down next to her to see
And I saw it
"Two dead in a drunk driving crash in Wells
A woman, 22, and a boy age 12
One survivor was in critical condition,"
It was the mother of the boy,they think she had been drinking
The scene on the screen looked grimy
A white Jetta bisected by a pine tree
In the background a green jeep flipped
I put my hand to my mouth and said "Jesus"...
As I recognized the sugar loaf sticker
On the back of the jeep that belonged to Phil's sister
The whole scene flashed blue and red lights
Illuminating Christmas night
My heart sunk like a plane with no wings because I understood the whole thing..
My heart sunk like a plane with no wings.. broken

I mean, what if we had left them in that ditch?
What if we never burn cruised and we were good kids?
What if Phil was a bad dude like everybody thought
Because he sold pot
And we never even stopped to help them?
What if I had questioned that mom?
What if Phil's sister and that boy weren't gone?
What if that right that we did was a wrong?
And what if? and so on and on until the break of dawn..

Just another Christmas song

    Awesome story (:

  10. n.... f....

    spose said the first part of the song is real the rest isnt true

    n.... f....

    so what's the news sample at the end? just a creative inspiration and coincidental situation?

    n.... f....

    Dude there’s a literal news article on the event. It’s true. I live in the state of Maine and remember it

  11. w.... ....

    I know a lot of people are saying dudes like Kendrick Lamar are really bringing the element of storytelling back into rap, but Spose has been doing this for years. Amazing.

  12. T.... P....

    That awkward moment where you don't own it, but Spose links to it.

  13. T.... P....

    The first part is, the second isn't.

  14. j.... a....

    yeah, true story bro....

  15. R.... C....

    I remember this

  16. J.... L....

    Song is great makes me cry thinking about what happened but how he tells the story is just fucking awesome

  17. C.... T....

    im from maine..hes the shit to all of us

  18. C.... W....

    im pretty sure. i dont think spose had anything to do with it but i think i remember it

  19. t.... ....

    Pretty much anything from Atmosphere is a story.

  20. C.... S....

    I love this song and my Christmas was pretty good. - Christmas Day Spose keep spittin rhymes

  21. C.... W....

  23. L.... T....

    A prayer for all th killed in the school shooting

  24. L.... S....

    This song gives me chills....

  25. s.... ....

    FYI, famous is not synonymous with mainstream. All of the artists I listed are famous (except for maybe Knowmads, however their popularity is increasing).
    and WTF, Nas is a LEGEND! How can you say 2Pac and Biggie are famous but not Nas?

  26. R.... T....

    idk ask him his username on here is spizzyspose

  27. J.... P....

    shout out to sugar loaf, such a meaningful simple honest song

  28. I.... F....

    his Christmas fucking sucked

  29. M.... M....

    hm i could use this for my hip hop final

  30. O.... ....

    Um... I don't think that you get it, I don't know many of these, but famous in rap music means being signed to a major record label, and you know, known by everyone. Lil Wayne. Kesha, those are famous "rappers". Mac Knowmads Mackle Immortal Eyedea Atmosphere and Nas aren't famous. They are decently/well known. 2Pac and Biggie are famous (Though losing fame because my generation is retarded.) But yeah I think he means mainstream non-underground rappers when he says famous. P.S. Lethal4Life

  31. D.... ....

    Lupe Fiasco - The Cool

  32. Q.... ....

    Mind blowing ending

  33. E.... H....

    Spose goes so fucking ridiculously hard.

  34. m.... ....

    Atmosphere - Yesterday

  35. P.... ....

    if theres more, please send me them i love stories in rap songs

  36. F.... D....

    when music sends shivers down your spine..

  37. s.... ....

    it could be a true story, but 1000 ways to die is fake as fuck. just sayin

  38. s.... ....

    wtf. if you don't hear famous rappers telling stories like this then you are obviously listening to the wrong famous rappers. there are plenty that don't rap about *champagne and hoes.
    Nas- "Undying Love" and "I Gave You Power"
    Immortal Technique- "Dance with the Devil" and "You Never Know"
    Mac Lethal- "Jake + Olive" and "Take Me In My Sleep"
    Macklemore- "Otherside"
    2Pac- "Brenda's Got a Baby"
    Biggie- "Suicidal Thoughts"
    Knowmads- "River Runs Deep"
    the list goes on. turn off the radio.

  39. l.... ....

    wow.................

  40. W.... ....

    The sister was 22

  41. a.... b....

    this isnt real, i love spose but ive search for this event long and have turened NOTHING up. soooooo good song but not true

  42. i.... ....

    i know him from his hometown :)

  43. E.... F....

    Is this actually a real story if so, did he actually do that?

  44. h.... ....

    spose has an amazing way with words, wow, just wow

  45. D.... ....

    damn I mean Im from the hood and shit but this is really deep to tell this in a snowy woods setting I like it I been to maine its nice in the winter so im just trying to imagine this its cray

  46. C.... T....

    Wow... this made my heart sink... ;,(

  47. N.... ....

    @JeriLaFlemme Its true, but Spose most likely used fake names for liability reasons. I mean do you see the actual names of people that died when being protrayed in 1000 Ways To Die? It's the same case here

  48. N.... ....

    woah. finally a song with meaning behind it, not that bullshit about money and cars and fucking hoes. Much respect for Spose. 2 thumbs up

  49. d.... ....

    holy..omg.Oh my motherfucking,...fucking...im shitting bricks so hard.

  52. s.... ....

    wow....

  53. n.... ....

    wow... just wow

  54. M.... E....

    It takes allot to actually write and put out such a traumatic ordeal....
    Respect to Spose.

  55. j.... m....

    reminds me of immortal technique dance with the devil

  56. B.... ....

    These Are Heavy Words

  57. A.... H....

    @JeriLaFlamme ya dumbass think about it, its not ur life u dont kno shit. dont hate on music jus enjoy it, dont question it, feel it

  58. J.... ....

    @ryanalexandercomedy Agreed. And he probably wouldn't use their real names in the song. I wouldn't know if he did though.

  59. N.... ....

    @JeriLaFlamme it is about a real thing that happened. i live in the area so i think i would know

  60. A.... L....

    @TheJandreauj holy fuck....

  61. J.... J....

    Whats even crazier is that he said he wouldnt care if his sister died tonight and then she did end up dieing...

  62. k.... ....

    @BladeStrikeWoW did you see it? or did you just here it in the song? :P

  63. k.... ....

    is this even a true story, though?

  64. k.... ....

    Sounds similiar to The Notorious B.I.G in his story telling

  65. E.... M....

    god I love this guy! Just discover him today!

  66. G.... M....

    This sounds a lot like something Immortal Technique would sing. This songs fuckin amazing.

  67. A.... ....

    I live in Wells Maine, about 10 minutes from Bears Den Road.

  68. S.... ....
