Midnight Mass
JDeezy
[Verse 1]
Sitting in the pew with my moms and my sister
Incense burning heavy while the priest delivers
Midnight liturgy got me stuck in tradition
But my mind calculating like a fiscal precision
I'm running through the mental list of packages purchased
Realized I'm short three and the panic emerging
Knees on the cushion but I'm plotting my exit
Praying to the Father while I'm stressing these presents
The choir singing loud but I can't hear the hymn
Only inventory gaps got me feeling the trim
My nephew want that action figure still wrapped in plastic
Forgot to hit the store and the hour getting drastic
Communion line forming and I'm sweating through fabric
Mind on the boulevard checking what they still have in stock
Twenty-four hour spot better have what I need
Or I'm facing my family with the shame and the greed
[Chorus]
Holy night turned into a mission
Spiritual moment met material vision
Running through the aisles with precision
This the duality of my condition
[Verse 2]
Service finally over stepping out to the cold
Breath visible fog and my conscience on hold
Jumped straight in the whip no time for the small talk
Family asking questions but I'm headed to the shop walk
Fluorescent aisles at one in the morning
Last minute soldiers in the retail warzone performing
Grabbed the toy section moving tactical and urgent
Every second burning like the cash that I'm dispersing
Checkout line stretching but I'm patient in the chaos
Found everything I needed thanking God for the payoff
Pulled up to the crib with the bags all concealed
Slid them under the tree feeling finally healed
Sat back on the couch with the weight lifted off
Survived the tradition and the commercial cost
My sister making hot chocolate asking where I went
Told her I was handling some last minute repent
[Chorus]
Holy night turned into a mission
Spiritual moment met material vision
Running through the aisles with precision
This the duality of my condition
