[Spoken] North Pole represent, Spreading that good holiday cheer, ha ha [Intro] Ho, ’twas the night before Christmas, deep in the borough, No B-boys movin’, streets quiet, thorough. Vinyl stacked high by the decks real tight, In hopes that Saint Nick would be rockin’ tonight. [Verse 1] Then boom in the alley, a bassline shook, Mic check, one-two, had the whole block hooked. Through smoke and the snow came a figure in red, With a mic in his hand and a nod of his head. He said, *“Kid, relax, don’t trip, don’t stress, I’m the lost hip-hop Claus, M-C-K-L-U-double-S. Before blacklist days, I was rocking the halls, Droppin’ bars so loud they was shakin’ the walls. Too raw for the carols, too live for the brand, But I spread holiday spirit with a mic in my hand. Every borough, every block, when the season comes near, I appear with a rhyme just to bless the year. Not toys in a sack, but a rhythm profound, I’m MC Nikolous, I deliver the sound.”* [Hook] I’m MC Nikolous, I bless the ground, Droppin’ beats from the Pole, yeah I spread that sound. No toys, no ribbons, no gifts tonight, It’s the rhythm of the season, let the world unite. From the cold North winds to the city blocks bound, I deliver one gift , it’s the gift of sound. Turn sorrow to joy, flip dark to light, Merry Christmas to all, and to all, rock the mic. [Verse 2] “I dropped bars at the Pole, had the elves all wild, Even Rudolph glowed bright when the crowd got styled. Mrs. Claus cut breaks while I tore the set, Every Christmas Eve was the illest yet. But the suits got mad, said my flow too loud, Said I ruined their brand, drew too hyped a crowd. So I slipped in the shadows, disappeared in frost, But the rhyme stayed alive, never once got lost. Now the nights grow long and the year winds down, I come back with a beat that’ll shake your town. Not jingles, not bells, not toys I bring, But a verse for the people and a song to sing. So remember my name when the speakers pound, It’s MC Nikolous with the gift of sound.” [Hook repeat] I’m MC Nikolous, I bless the ground, Droppin’ beats from the Pole, yeah I spread that sound. No toys, no ribbons, no gifts tonight, It’s the rhythm of the season, let the world unite. From the cold North winds to the city blocks bound, I deliver one gift, it’s the gift of sound. Turn sorrow to joy, flip dark to light, Merry Christmas to all, and to all, rock the mic. [Verse 3] “Now the night grows quiet, and the tale’s been told, Of a hip-hop Santa with a heart of gold. I don’t ride for the riches or the toys in hand, I rhyme for the people, spread joy through the land. Every Christmas Eve when the stars shine bright, I return with a beat to cut through the night. No blacklist, no lies gonna silence me now, I was born for the mic, and I’ll take my bow. So remember this tale when the speakers pound, When the rhythm brings life to the streets around. I’m more than Saint Nick, let the truth be found, I’m MC Nikolous giving all the gift of sound.” [Hook repeat] I’m MC Nikolous, I bless the ground, Droppin’ beats from the Pole, yeah I spread that sound. No toys, no ribbons, no gifts tonight, It’s the rhythm of the season, let the world unite. From the cold North winds to the city blocks bound, I deliver one gift, it’s the gift of sound. Turn sorrow to joy, flip dark to light, Merry Christmas to all, and to all, rock the mic. [Outro]
