Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

"Stereo Fresh" by Christian Madison and Neal Whetstone off their upcoming mixtape.
Sampled "Movin' On Up", the theme song from the classic TV show "The Jeffersons"

These lyrics are just plain stupid silly having fun. Hope you have fun too.

Lyrics:
*M.A.D coughing*

Chorus:
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da (lol)

Neal:
Way too long I've been understated
Diversity is an understatement 
Killin the beat softly, go ahead and comence the lament 
Yall prosaic, we never faded
Perfect patience with out the payment 
Shinin bright we never jaded
Elvis Presley, oh baby
coming back on the doublee
I dont care what you say, 
right time like lemon and lime 
and sorry dude you too late
Shut em down like foreclosure 
I do whats minimal, and still get exposure
Luke Skywalkin, 
got haters gawkin 
With pac 2, writing haikus in a coffin 
Im sinnin, With crazy vision, 
I think im trippin, making haters livid.
Coach k we winnin, got u in yo feelings 
Chillin with archvillians and livin to make a livin we killin, ha... I'm kiddin

Chorus:
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da 
Turn it up now, tell me who this is
Stereo fresh, never heard of these two kids
Don't know what to expect, can't even comprehend
Stereo Fresh, someone play that song again

M.A.D:
The best thing about bein unknown 
is that no one knows how to go
When you hit that floor like a number one. 
Words shootin out like a tommy gun. 
Didnt see it coming like Shamalan, 
we the villains that you love like like Donkey Kong. 
Straight to the top, ring the bell, strength in the mind but weak in sales 
that's okay cuz we're rich in our rhymes, a garage band duo just loving life. 
Nothing to rap about but bein loud. 
Respect in the ring like Pacquiao, 
haters come along we knock em out, 
rock Em sock Em robots your head pop out, 
playing games but hungry for this, unlikely victors like Katniss,
it's the story that still bein told 

Neal: SPOILER ALERT! 

M.A.D:
lightning bolt! 
Search and destroy like a missile, 
coming from the back like a blue shell, 
go another round like a carousel, 
a 45 single on vinyl, 
The M.A.D is what you call me, 
new to the game but on two feet and that's Whetstone with the afro, 
hey Neal how's that chorus go?

Chorus:
Turn it up now, tell me who this is
Stereo fresh, ever heard of these two kids
Don't know what to expect, can't even comprehend
Stereo fresh, someone play that song again.

M.A.D:
Turn the soul up, hey now.
Working hard like James Brown
homage to the greats because we wanna be the same 
so hand over the reigns and well drive you insane. 
Is that cliche? is that overplayed? 
Don't care it is we're not serious anyways. 
Ain't full of ourselves we just mess around 
but if we're gonna do this let's vibe good sounds. 
Can't hear the haters cuz the beat's loud 
can turn the knob but ya can't turn me down.
I'll keep on screaming, singing, spittin dreaming, 
coming at you live from Htown. 
Hey N E A L whetstone I wanna know
how's that sound?!?

Neal:
Ohh- kill em terio 
Title fight in my stereo 
Cant sleep, just wanna rhyme and collect antiques
Im hands deep in this sick beat
Take a seat and walk asleep , 
Control alt delete 
Dont be so discrete 
Say it loud and accept defeat
All I know is that my mojo, is so dope
Its makes mo jo jo jo jo, quit his day job and work at pollo loco
And eat froyo with a hobo

Lyrics:
What's left to say
We've had this conversation a million ways
I'm stepping out of the fray
I need to catch my breath and walk away
Tonight, I tell myself the same old lie
That everything will be just fine
That I still could feel alive, alive, alive

So I'm gonna go chase that high
Embracing all my demons just to find it
Even if it takes all night
'Cuz time keeps moving
But nothing seems to change
In my life
And I've been numb so long
I just can't go on
But I have to try
I'll do whatever it takes just to feel something
Tonight
(Tonight)
Just to feel something tonight
(Tonight)

No one's to blame
What can you do when the passion fades to gray
If we can't reignite the flame
I need to find a way to set fire, set fire

So I'm gonna go chase that high
Embracing all my demons just to find it
Even if it takes all night
'Cuz time keeps moving
But nothing seems to change
In my life
And I've been numb so long
I just can't go on
But I have to try
I'll do whatever it takes just to feel something
Tonight
(Tonight)
Just to feel something tonight
(Tonight)
(Tonight)
(Tonight)

I try to fill the empty space
So tight the floorboards collapse under the weight
(Tonight)
I tell myself the same old lie
Everything will be just fine
(Tonight)
I tell myself the same old lie
That I still could feel alive

So I'm gonna go chase that high
Embracing all my demons just to find it
Even if it takes all night
'Cuz time keeps moving
But nothing seems to change
In my life
And I've been numb so long
I just can't go on
But I have to try
I'll do whatever it takes just to feel something
Tonight
(Tonight)
Just to feel something tonight
(Tonight)
Just to feel something tonight
(Tonight)
(Tonight)
