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 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 Citrus

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

[Damian Marley:]

Here comes Junior Gong

I’m flying high like superman

And thinkin that I run the whole block

I don’t know if it’s just because

Pineapple 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 the bigger heads cause the whole ah them are saps

All the talk them are talk and them fly make no drop

Enough getto 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 ^[2]
