Christmas music, with its warmth and nostalgia, has the power to turn even the most hardened Scrooges into Christmas carolers. Over the years, rappers and hip-hop-adjacent artists have been putting their unique spin on these classics, while others have ventured into creating original holiday-themed tracks. In this scenario, Lil Tjay and Fivio Foreign, both New Yorkers and frequent collaborators, fit into the first category.
Their latest offering is a short but emotionally-driven single, where Tjay has taken direct inspiration from Wham!’s “Last Christmas”. This 1984 classic has firmly established itself as a Christmas staple. However, these drill rappers wanted to spruce it up a bit.
Their spiced-up Christmas jingle samples the most iconic lines from Wham! They open up the track with Chipmunk vocals, adding a unique twist to the classic. Tjay and Fivio rap about treating a girl right and making it in the music industry. It’s standard fare from these two, and some might argue it’s a lackluster effort.
However, the track is gaining some traction on YouTube. “Last Christmas” is currently number 10 on trending with nearly 400,000 views already. Whether this modern take on a classic will resonate with listeners or fade into obscurity remains to be seen.

[Intro: Lil Tjay & Fivio Foreign]
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears (Oh-ooh)
I’ll give it to someone special
Yeah
[Chorus: Lil Tjay & Fivio Foreign]
Made it out, I’m just a rich young nigga (Huh)
Steady arguing, wasn’t no way to live
I know bitches want me ’cause I’m up (Yeah)
Something different, I’m just with a gift (Huh)
But the drama won’t nobody know
Keep on gassin’ him up like it’s his
She a lover girl, still not a ho (Huh)
Love her man, but she feelin the kid (Yeah)
[Verse 1: Fivio Foreign]
They don’t even know me and shorty speak
She gon’ still fuck a nigga for some feets
We was in Brooklyn Chop House
Me and shawty spent three K for the eats (We did)
And he don’t never take her shopping
We already spent thirty K for the week (Nah)
And he mad abusive
If he knew what I do to his shorty, that nigga’ll tweak (Uh)
She already told me that nigga is weak (Uh)
(Last Christmas, I gave you my heart)
I’ll probably shoot him, he think he gon’ reach (Baow)
(But the very next day, you gave it away)
She from the town, I met her in the East
When I cheat, she wanna give me a speech (Huh)
Shorty is hella obsessive (Hella obsseive)
(This year, to save me from tears)
When she get horny, she get very aggressive
(I’ll give it to someone special)
She be callin’, she be askin’ me questions
If I don’t answer, she start sendin’ me texts
[Verse 2: Lil Tjay & Fivio Foreign]
Fuck that nigga I don’t care what he did
Honestly, I do not even want to know (No, no, no)
All I know, that’s my lil’ rider for sure
And can’t nobody question, I put that on bro (Put that on bro)
I don’t like fightin’ for cones (Huh)
Know we live in a world where these bitches on go (Bitches on go)
Gas you up, tell you they love you
No she ain’t love you, I know she feelin’ the kid for the dough (Baow)
My name Lil Tjay, baby, I be smooth
I ain’t gon’ fake it like you gotta choose
They ain’t believe I was destined to win
So wrong for niggas who thought I would lose
End of the story, don’t gotta conclude
Humble nigga, my outfits say “Rhude”
Ask your bitch, bet she know I’m that dude
I bet that shit out she ate it like food
[Chorus: Lil Tjay & Fivio Foreign]
Made it out, I’m just a rich young nigga
Steady arguing, wasn’t no way to live (Yeah)
I know bitches want me ’cause I’m up (Yeah)
Something different, I’m just with a gift (Yeah)
But the drama won’t nobody know (Uh)
Keep on gassin’ him up like it’s his (He did)
She a lover girl, still not a ho (She not)
Love her man, but she feeling the kid (Hm)
