Lil Tjay Christmas In A Cell

Thanksgiving just passed, December is here, and the Christmas season is right around the corner. It’s a time when Mariah Carey is an inescapable force on radio and streaming services, and most people get ready to wind down and spend some time with their family. While it’s regarded as a joyous season, not everyone gets the opportunity to spend time with their friends and family during this time.

This week, Lil Tjay delivered a new holiday single dedicated to those who will be incarcerated this Christmas titled, “Christmas In A Cell.” Serving as his follow-up to “Not In The Mood” with Fivio Foreign and Kay Glock, Lil Tjay offers a vulnerable take on the pain of having loved ones locked up during the holidays. He also brings a personal perspective stemming from his own experiences.

Hip-hop has its fair share of holiday anthems, from Jim Jones holiday album to Run DMC’s “Christmas In Hollis” but Lil Tjay’s offering provides a much-needed perspective to represent those that won’t be able to be surrounded by family this holiday season.

Lil Tjay – Christmas In A Cell

Lyrics

[Chorus]
Free my niggas locked down this Christmas
Free my niggas locked down this Christmas
Many nights ’til you comin’ home
Remember sittin’ in that cell all alone, alone
Free my niggas locked down this Christmas
Remember bein’ locked down on Christmas
Remember bein’ in that cell
I was prayin’ someone save me, Lord wish me well

[Verse 1]
Everybody against it, kinda or so that seem nowadays
So I ain’t beefin’ over nothin’ less it’s power plays
I’m on a mission, tryna focus, ‘least amount the day
Gotta earn, shit, been workin’ out, I burned some calorie
I could be sittin’ in that cell for when they caught me
Plus somebody got that lawsuit, I know they salty
I’m well aware the money saved me
Boys tryna pen a nigga fugazi
Whatever condition, no, I ain’t never coincide
‘Cause I tried to be the helpin’ hand to all of my guys
They lot just be killin’ my vibe, why would I lie?
Diamonds on, I’ma keep it real ’til I die
Never had nothin’ for Christmas
Locked down, I handle my business
Goin’ through some shit I can’t describe
Memories inside, my mind adjustin’ to the time
When you in that jam you gon’ see a lot of nigga slime
Whether you slime, but that shit don’t go for none of mine
The loyalty is hard where we come from
If you don’t got that, you gon’ fall when we come for it
But niggas ain’t like that, that’s why I say less
Snakes in the grass and they tryin’ they best
It’s a cold, cold word, so you better not underdress
So when life throw jabs, I was taught fight ’til you stretched
Only way you progress

[Chorus]
Free my niggas locked down this Christmas
Free my niggas locked down this Christmas
Many nights ’til you comin’ home
Remember sittin’ in that cell all alone, alone
Free my niggas locked down this Christmas
Remember bein’ locked down on Christmas
Remember bein’ in that cell
I was prayin’ someone save me, Lord wish me well

[Verse 2]
I remember bein’ locked down all alone
I was on my own and nobody would pick up my phone
My momma told me that she wanna be there, like “You there?”
And pleas don’t call my phone until you leave there
No answer on the tone, standin’ all alone
That’s why I felt abandoned, shit, I had to re-share
Free the guys, thinkin’ bout it, this is so white
Judge sentenced you and then he get to go back
To his home, he chillin’ on Christmas
He done sent a thousand families distant
I done got some real family missin’
Father I just wished shit can be different
If you ever felt abandoned, you isn’t
Tough blood, I’m in here sippin’ lean, lean, lean
Never Christmas, I’ma dream, dream, dream
One more winter with the team, team, team
All my shooters in Celine-line-line
Pockets all green, green, green
How long do we gotta scheme, scheme, scheme?
Mike Amiri for my jeans, jeans, jeans
New life, better things, things, things, uh

[Chorus]
Free my niggas locked down this Christmas
Free my niggas locked down this Christmas
Many nights ’til you comin’ home
Remember sittin’ in that cell alone, alone
Free my niggas locked down this Christmas
Remember bein’ locked down on Christmas
Remember bein’ in that cell
I was prayin’ someone save me, Lord wish me well
