Homie, it’s Christmas time again!
A time ta open presents, n’ hang with our kin.
Just don’t eat too much chocolate, cause that’s kinda a sin!
When you get back, the teachers will wanna know where ya been.

Yo, I’ve been havin a count down on my Facebook wall.
I’ve been coutin since before fall.
Gotta wrap them presents- big and small.
I’ve got to deck the halls.
Cause it’s Christmas time on Facebook!

Yo it’s Christmas, so I need ta update my profile.
I’ve been waitin for this day for awhile.
Red n’ green now seems to be the style.
I’m waitin to see how many presents are in da pile.
Cause it’s Christmas, so everyone is gonna smile.

I’m just scrollin through my Facebook page,
Just seein what’s the current rage.
My friend claims to know Nicholas Cage.
How can he, if he only makin minimum wage?!

OMG, I just received a message from my friend!
Wait, his name is Chico- is he really my friend?
He looks like a swell fellow- I’ll type a nice message, n’ hit ‘send’.
Who knows, he might just live ‘round the bend.

HOLY SHNIZEL- IT’S SNOWIN!  I’m gonna post a tweet!
Dang, my friend is just now seein Happy Feet?!  (What?!)
When I went for the midnight premiere, I got a front row seat.
Homie, it was pretty sweet.

I log onto my Twitter.
On here, please don’t moan n’ bitter. 
Cause “ain’t nobody got time fo that” jitter!
Don’t care if you’re a home run hitter.

Man, I just got another message invite!
I almost forgot my Christmas play is tonight.
Can’t spend too much time on here, cause that ain’t right!
I’m the main guy in the play, so time is kinda tight.
I done this a time or two, so I ain’t got stage fright.  (Yo)

Yo, I just made a snowman- gotta take a ‘selfie’!
Post it on my Instagram so everyone know I’m still healthy, wealthy, n’ wise-
just look at all my Christmas ties!
Got one for every Christmas party I go to- that ain’t no lie. (Yo)
I occasionally try,
to look sharp n’ fly.
Just look at my snapchats- I’m a cool kinda guy.
I’m at the Christmas Story house- gotta take a ‘selfie’!

Yeah, I occasionally post on da vine.
Why ya gotta whine-
when I post my Christmas video?  It looks fine.
Perhaps you should be smellin some pine! (trees)

Me and my family like to sing ‘First Noel’.
I got a cat named Tinkerbell.
(Man, that was random!)
Me know how to read, but not how to spell.
This mornin I went to Taco Bell-

It was delicious!
I’ll admit- it wasn’t that nutritious,
But at least I don’t gotta do the dishes!
On Facebook, my datin life is everyone’s business!

Need help singing Christmas carols?  Got an app for that!
Need help getting Christmas presents?  Got an app for that!
Need a days till Christmas count-down?  Got an app for that!
Need entertainment on a long trip to Grandma’s?  Got an app for that!

I know I been using yo time.
Ya got places ta go, people ta meet, hands ta shake, da whole nine yards- but don’t commit no crime!
Lest ya want da ‘blue light special’ ringin yo door chime!
Then just give e’m a silly stinkin rhyme!

You probably won’t remember this all.
Just remember this message from me ta you: ‘Merry Christmas, n’ a Happy New Year ya’ll!’

I wrote this rap for a Christmas talent show that I am going to be a part of at my school.  It is mean't to poke fun at how dependent this generation has become on technology such as cell phones, and mass media such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.  If you're wondering: no, this is not about me! ;)
