[Verse 1: Amerigo Gazaway] Yo don’t mean to wake you up, but is the ghost of Christmas past My bad I didn’t mean to spook you homie just relax But I want to talk, 'cause I can see that you been mad At the world, and starting to affect they way you act 'Cause lately your perspective is that everything is rotten But what I’m about to show you is glimpse of days forgotten Let’s take it back to when you were just a little boy When the the room is filled with laughter in your heart was filled with joy And underneath the Christmas tree was all your favorite toys But then you grew up and you had dreams destroyed I know that life is hard, but you always have a choice There’s a lot of people out there who don’t even have a voice So this Christmas? Let’s be thankful for what we have Laugh, and make memories that are gonna last Here’s your stop, hit me If you need to catch a cab Signing off, here’s my card, it's the Ghost of Christmas past [Verse 2: Amerigo Gazaway] Yo I don’t mean to interrupt, but it’s the ghost of Christmas present I didn’t mean to scare you but I’m here to teach a lesson See some people think that Christmas time is all about the presents But I’ma show you a just couple things you been forgetting And I know that for some folks, Christmas is a blessing But for others this time of year, Christmas is depressing People stressing, and I ain’t just talking bout Tiny Tim I’m talkin' 'bout the homeless shelter by where you live What happened, to just trying to help and give Seems like we forgot the meaning of Christmas and what it is If not do it for yourself, at least do it for the kids 'Cause the sound of their laughter is like music to the ears It’s a new year, So let try not regret it And all that negativity? Yo you just need to dead it I’m here, to send you this message I hope get it Signing off, truly yours, It’s the ghost of Christmas present [Verse 3: Amerigo Gazaway] I don’t mean to interrupt but it’s the ghost of Christmas future I’m sorry if I scared ya, yo I didn’t mean to spook ya But picture this, everybody gathered at your funeral Cousins, nieces, nephews and and all the people you know But as you look around? Nobody sheds a tear Because when you were alive, you were never really there We tried to call, we tried to show you that cared But you were always too busy, tried to stay out of your hair Yet we can’t forget, all the good times that we shared The the laughter, and all that good food that mom prepared Things could've been different if you’d been a little kinder Having Christmas parties but nobody was invited I know it’s in there somewhere if you look inside and find it But life is strange, I wish there was some way we could rewind it This is just a reminder, be kind, pay your producer Until we meet again it's the ghost of Christmas future

about

Following the success of his 2018 instrumental beat tape, "A Christmas Album," this time Gazaway flips the concept on it's head by stepping up to the mic and collaborating with a stellar lineup of emcees including Dillon, Napoleon Da Legend and Awon.

"The Christmas Spirit(s)" delves into the ghostly perspectives of Christmas past, present, and future, adding a unique modern twist to the Charles Dicken's timeless classic ' A Christmas Carol."
