Standing at this liquor store

Whiskey coming through my pores

Feeling like I run this whole block

Lotto tickets, cheap beer

That's why you can catch me here

Tryna scratch my way up to the top

Cause my job got me going nowhere

So I ain't got a thing to lose

Take me to a place where I don't care

This is me and my liquor store blues

I'll take one shot for my pain

One drag for my sorrow

Get messed up today

I'll be okay tomorrow

One shot for my pain

One drag for my sorrow

Get messed up today

I'll be okay tomorrow

Me and my guitar tonight

Singing to the city lights

Tryna live on more than what I got

Cause 68 cent

Just ain't gonna pay the rent so

I'll be out here til they call the cops

Cause my job got me going nowhere

So I ain't got a thing to lose

Take me to a place where I don't care

This is me and my liquor store blues

I'll take one shot for my pain

One drag for my sorrow

Get messed up today

I'll be okay tomorrow

One shot for my pain

One drag for my sorrow

Get messed up today

I'll be okay tomorrow

Here comes Junior Gong

I'm flying high like superman

And thinking that I run the whole block

I don't know if it's just because

Pinapple kush between my jaws

Has got me feeling like I'm on top

Feeling like I woulda stand up to the cops

And stand up to da bigger heads because de whole a dem a saps

All de talk dem a talk and dem fly make no drop

Nuff ghetto youth cannot escape the trap

Give me this one shot for my pain

One drag for my sorrow

Get messed up today

I'll be okay tomorrow

One shot for my pain

One drag for my sorrow

Get messed up today

I'll be okay tomorrow
