Christmas Cancelled Songtext
von Macka B

You nuh hear say Christmas cancelled, Rasta?
Yo, we done with the commercial Christmas
With its pagan symbols and pagan origins
And the attacking of the children′s mind for material gain
We're not playing that game
Seen Iyah, cho!

Christmas has been cancelled
It′s been postponed
No longer celebrated
Inna we home
Pagan things, we try to leave them alone
Incorporated into Christianity by Rome
We're using our brain
We're breaking the chain
We′re not playing the Christmas game
What a shame
We′re using our brain
We're breaking the chain
We′re not playing the Christmas game


All the drunkenness and the over-eating
Is it the birth of Christ they're celebrating?
Mostly non-Christians are partaking
For some it′s just an excuse for money making
They say peace and goodwill to all men
So how come they putting up the prices then?
Targeting the parents through the children
Well they nah get I and I again, no way, my friend

Christmas has been cancelled
It's been postponed
No longer celebrated
Inna we home
Pagan things, we try to leave them alone
Incorporated into Christianity by Rome
We′re using our brain
We're breaking the chain
We're not playing the Christmas game
What a shame
We′re using our brain
We′re breaking the chain
We're not playing the Christmas game


A long time the 25th of December
Has been a special date in the pagan′s calendar
A long, long before the birth of Christ
It was a day for partying and celebrating and to rejoice
From Nimrod to Saturn to Mithra
These gods were always honoured on that day in December
Worshipping of sun gods and idols
Why you think Christmas is never mentioned in the Bible?

Christmas has been cancelled
It's been postponed
No longer celebrated
Inna we home
Pagan things, we try to leave them alone
Incorporated into Christianity by Rome
We′re using our brain
We're breaking the chain
We′re not playing the Christmas game
What a shame
We're using our brain
We're breaking the chain
We′re not playing the Christmas game

You see the tree and the ivy and the mistletoe
All of these were pagan things a long time ago
People have them in their house and they don′t know what they mean
They just come see them so them just join in
Santa Claus, what a fraud, never once come at me yard
And mi parents haffi work, work so hard
Christmas put people under pressures
Don't you see that Santa and Satan has got the same letters?

Christmas has been cancelled
It′s been postponed
No longer celebrated
Inna we home
Pagan things, we try to leave them alone
Incorporated into Christianity by Rome
We're using our brain
We′re breaking the chain
We're not playing the Christmas game
What a shame
We′re using our brain
We're breaking the chain
We're not playing the Christmas game

Them say Christmas is just for the youth
Well it′s about time we tell the youth them the truth
Instead of buying love with expensive gifts
Give them the all year love we should be dealing with
Children′s minds are being attacked by the big companies
Christmas time is when they do the most business
I give my children presents any time of the year
Not only on birthdays and when Christmas is near
'Cause a lot of people inna debt over Christmas
A lot of people life wreck ′cause of Christmas
A lot of people inna prison 'cause of Christmas
A lot of people gone missing over Christmas
Commercial Christmas, you know it′s not right
It's not really dealing with the birth of the Christ
Don′t make them pressure you with your choice
It's alright to remove it from your life
