Was Like... Lyrics

Cousins runnin' round

Auntie playing cards while

Grandma puttin' it down

Y'all get out my kitchen

Soon as we wake up

Open up your presents

This what Christmas like

That's what I was raised in

Mmm I can smell it

Grandma in the kitchen

And she whipping up the greatest

Mac and cheese and collard greens

Im trynna hurry up and eat

So I can go and grab a second

See my lil cuz playin' on the console

And my auntie gettin' real loud cause

She sayin' momma cheatin' in them card games

But its cause she keep loosing

It's the fourth straight

I see my pops kicked up

with my uncles

It don't get no better

Like when families close

I got my people here with me

This is special

Take another family picture

Over granny house

Momma bought us presents

What she get us

A pair of new shoes

Don't step on em'

You know we growing

Every year, my momma fed up

Ooo these feel tight

But ima say I fit em'

Cousins runnin' round

Auntie playing cards while

Grandma puttin' it down

Y'all get out my kitchen

Soon as we wake up

Open up your presents

This what Christmas like

That's what I was raised in

Ain't no family

Like a family

Sometimes a little rugged

Never fancy

I would never take it perfect

That's uncanny

Ima always keep em close

And that's on granny

Spend this time together

Cause you don't know how long

we'll be on this earth for

So you better get along

This Christmas

Go hug somebody

This Christmas

Go love somebody

This Christmas

Thank god you got em'

This Christmas

Go love somebody

Cousins runnin' round

Auntie playing cards while

Grandma puttin' it down

Y'all get out my kitchen

Soon as we wake up

Open up your presents

This what Christmas like

That's what I was raised in
