bottle

Lyrics

see that black boy over there runnin' scared, his old man in a bottle, he done quit his 9 to 5, he drink full time and now he's livin' in a bottle, see that black boy over there runnin' scared, his old man got a problem, and it's a bad one, he done pawned off damn near everything, his old woman's weddin' ring for a bottle, and don't you think it's a crime when, time after time after time, people in the bottle, there's people livin' in the bottle, listen to me, see that sister, sho' was fine, before she started drinkin' wine in a bottle, she told me her old man committed a crime, he's doin' time and now she's hangin' in a bottle, i seen her out there on the avenue, all by herself, she sho' need help from the bottle, i seen a preacherman try to help her out, she cussed him out and hit him in the head with a bottle, they turn to me, and they ask me, gil, don't you think it's a crime the way, time after time after time, people in the bottle, there's people sho' nuff in the bottle, i'll give you another good example, you see that gent in the wrinkled suit, he done damn near blown his cool to the bottle, he was a doctor helpin' young girls along, if they wasn't too far gone in her problems, but defenders of the dollar eagle said, "what you doin, man, ain't legal", now he's in the bottle, and now we watch him everyday, he's tryin' to chase the prisons away from the bottle, he turned to me and he said to me, hey now, don't you think it's a crime the way, time after time, friends of mine in the bottle, there's people sho nuff in the bottle, come on, hit me the lick one time, stick, uuh, i'll tell you a little secret, if you ever come lookin' for me, you know where i'm bound to be, in the bottle, turn around, look around on any corner, if you see some brother lookin' like a goner, it's gonna be me, sing the song, na na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na, a dollar nine or a bottle of wine, a dollar nine, get a bottle of wine, a dollar nine, get a bottle of wine, a dollar nine, get a bottle of wine, the bottle, all that i'm concerned about is a bottle, it can turn me inside out for the bottle, all i want, said all i want, said all i want, said all i want since i'm livin in the bottle, a bottle, sho nuff, sho nuff, sho nuff, sho nuff sho nuff sho nuff sho nuff, sho nuff
