Liquor Store Blues

1. Standing at this liquor store
Whiskey coming through my pores
Feeling like I run this whole block
Lotto tickets and cheap beer
That's why you can catch me here
Tryna scratch my way up to the top.

Cause my job's 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.

[Chorus:]
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.

2. 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.

[Chorus]

[Damian Marley:]
Here comes Junior Gong
I'm flying high like superman
And thinking that I run the whole block
I don't 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.

[Chorus]
