 Used to be color conscious Nothin' is written like teleprompters Spotlight from helicopters Missionaries tryna sell a promise One on ones down at Bloodstrike B43 for the head shot! When I win it's middle fingers Suck It signs like I'm XPAC 

 This is Onehunga When there was Mee Wah's When there was Three Guys, not D-Mart uh School never taught no street smarts.... gentrification Had a royal upbringing A family van for a chariot Onehunga for a kingdom A styrofoam for a chalice A snapback for a crown A milk crate for a throne 

  ..... this is home...

  I was riding round on the 312, I hit 2 stages That's a $1.40 and my homie broke So I got it for him, that's family House parties we raid the fridge Pantry, potato chips, milo, peanut brownies Dunkin' pringles in them flavored dips  

 Shuttle vans hit the curb Empty bottles leave the windows Neighborhood get disturbed By the Sound travellin' when the wind blows They try and erase you by any means Lights out, hit you in the dark Homie tuck the hammer in his jeans ...., that was Christmas in the Park
