Christmas is so sad this year
the world's mourning, it's full of fear
Mama’s dead,,, the baby’s dyin
daddy's so sad cause the world be cryin
Holy wars rage from here to there
Soldier boys lost in a “thousand yard stare”
People starvin while the markets crash
well,,,grab your gun and guard your stash
I ask you,,,
what do we do, where do we go
desperations growin, I don’t know
the truth is written in the stars
they beat your brother behind cold bars?
Oh yeah, bad times a’comin,
they'll be shiftin gears
and we’ll be drownin under waves of tears
Christmas is so sad this year
The world is mourning, it's full of fear

by ',,,' do you mean '...'? ellipsis is indictated by dots, not commas...
like the way you've captured the dialect/accent, however...

The ',,,' is my attempt to emulate the natural cadence in which I would speak in a live setting.
Don't know if it's correct but it felt right.
Hope you enjoyed the piece never the less.
