A Christmas Fucking Miracle Lyrics

[Verse 1: El-P]
That was me in BK on Atlantic
Never looked both ways, ran in traffic
Pops went away but I stayed, vagrant
Placed where the steel and cement became nature

Love what you did with the place, it looks gorgeous
Cityscape where the blood of good men courses

And the dreamers are bull trapped in porcelain
Take a knee to the gods and get horse shit

Wanna live for the thrill? They'll arrange it
Got a bevy of imps to spit hatred
Shit'll get in your head and cause panic

Have you desperately begging to get famous
Get your dignity dirty and left orphaned
Sanity on the fringe of distorted
Who are they to just take shit and hoard it?
Who am I that I don't get my portion?

The most impressionable minds
Get molested and informed by manipulating forces
Don't fret, little man, don't cry
They can never take the energy inside you were born with
Knowing that, understand you could never be poor
You already won the war, you were born rich
You can only take the energy you had
Going back to the realm or the home where your lord is
Whoever, whatever that lord is
Couldn't give a fuck if you ever made fortunes
Fuck anyone ever tryin' to run that bum shit
Send 'em to the flames where the orcs live
Them and the lost minds thinking they're smarter than us
Don't understand love's importance
And we can weaponize that, bring 'em back to the truth
Where the ashes and dust got formed in

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

This song is about not selling out, both in music and in life. El-P and Killer Mike both touch on this in their verses.

El-P talks about the pitfalls of the urban jungle and a corrupt self-serving elite, but rising above it by realizing that true wealth and power is in self awareness and positive energy (love).

Killer Mike talks about staying true to himself and never going soft or superficial with his music or his life—always keeping it real despite the twisted forces that pervade the government (AmeriKKKa) and the music industry, with a shout out at the end to other artists doing the same.
