Last Christmas

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special

It’s Christmas and it’s dark
I’m sweating, just look at my shirt

Just look at the price of petrol
Can’t even turn on the gen
Can’t even go to the market
And buy cabbage
Make a salad
Buy carrot
Come back home without feeling the squeeze

An apple a day keeps the doctor away, right?
But it’s 300 for an apple
That would have gotten me 4 last Christmas
Fish biscuit, now a 100
Digestive, now a luxury
Can’t even buy sausage on the road anymore (Gala)
Can’t even cook noodles without breaking the bank
This Christmas is too hard, man

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special

What should I do in a Christmas
With no Christmas razz? (Rice)
50k for a bag now
That would have gotten me 2 last Christmas
What should I do, NG (Nigeria)?
Why did you break my heart so bad?
Why did you live a hole up in me?
Why did you go and change the plan
Why are you trying to chase me away?
This how you sent all my folks away?

NG you left me cold and blue
Even when I believed in you
Why did you close the doors
Shut the lights
Even when I tried to make things right
Why did you take a toll on me (Lekki toll gate 20-20-20)
And then you took the cam away

What’s Christmas without the squad?
What’s Christmas without the fam?
When it’s just you and your thoughts
Sitting alone
Watching the clock tick away
What’s Christmas?
What’s a bolt ride?
Is it 17 just to Lekki?
It’s a 100 to Enugu
“It’s my turn” no? (Emilokan)
What you do?

It’s Christmas and I’m broken
This thing that we have isn’t working
Just look at the tears I’ve been hiding
Wishing for a chance to start again
Hoping for a sign to mend this pain
Waiting for a time to dance again
Seeing you fade like stars at day
Seeing you change the tunes we sang

Bread for a thousand
Man that's deep
My pocket is empty
And what’s up with that? (Empty-And <> MTN)
Used to be 6 gig, now it’s 5
it’s a tough scene to survive
1 dolz for a thousand (USD to NGN)
Man that hit
Darn by the time this is out, could be 10k
Won’t be surprised
