Time of the Year ft. Shadow of Light Lyrics

There ain't nothing like the smiles on their faces, the lights in the places

So many traditions passed down through the ages

No I'm not religious but I take part in exchanges

The heatings going up and I'm stuck on same wages

I'm a lover of the winter just because I like the coziness

My chocolate be the foamiest, but no I'm not the holiest

Give into the culture every year and we just don't resist

The planet is a mess but with the animals we coexist

I don't wanna see a dead turkey on the table

Pigs in blankets that I like are living and are playful

Best believe I got a vegan mushroom wellington

Cos I don't wanna have cooked flesh off a skeleton

This ain't just another happy song about the spirit

A bit deeper with my lyrics and I want you all to hear it

Life is just a lottery I hope you got your ticket

And try to crack a smile when your family come visit

And it's the time of year that we all do love

But take a minute, listen up (we gotta fix up)

I know the prices are rising, it's getting tough

And people are sleeping rough (we gotta love)

And it's the time of the year where we all get loose

But there's one thing that we should do (and that's love)

I know you can't keep warm with a simple tune

But it's time that we heard some truth (and what's that)

They gotta answer to it, but we're just laughing through it

'Cos it's that time of the year where we acting stupid

It hits the 23rd, we book it off of work

We hit the pub, live it up, 'til we hit the dirt

But what's the point in the laughing, the drinks and dancing?

A short term ploy in a country that's classist

All the bodies piling up and down on Oxford street

And I don't care for the king but I bet we'll watch the speech

I don't wanna see all the rich on TV

And I don't wanna see the decorations on the IG

You ever bought a Christmas tree, damn it is pricy

I just wanna smoke the best trees with the wifey

Icy, I don't wanna seem like a scrooge

But when googling Christmas I think it's a ruse

Commemorate the birth of Jesus, oh wow

But at least we get gifts 'cos that's what it's about

And it's the time of year that we all do love

But take a minute, listen up (we gotta fix up)

I know the prices are rising, it's getting tough

And people are sleeping rough (we gotta love)

And it's the time of the year where we all get loose

But there's one thing that we should do (and that's love)

I know you can't keep warm with a simple tune

But it's time that we heard some truth (and what's that)
