lyrics

(Ke Dezemba! Ke Dezemba!)
(shakers enter)

Whole year we been working for this one month
Rent paid late eleven times, but not this one
Everybody's cousin is in town tonight
(tonight, tonight)
Nobody asks what you do, they ask what you drinking

Twelve months of small small
(small small)
One month of everything

Ke Dezemba!
(Dezemba, Dezemba)
We made it, we made it, we here
Ke Dezemba!
(Dezemba, Dezemba)
Don't ask me about January

Auntie cooking since Thursday for a Saturday
Uncle bought a speaker bigger than his room
The street is closed and nobody closed it
(nobody closed it)
This is how we say we survived

(claps and chant only)
Ke Dezemba... ke Dezemba...
(build slowly, add shaker, then DROP)

Ke Dezemba!
(Dezemba, Dezemba)
We made it, we made it, we here
Ke Dezemba!
(Dezemba, Dezemba)
Don't ask me about January

(Dezemba...)
