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 Tryin' to scratch my way 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
Me and my guitar tonight singing to the city lights Tryin' to leave with more than what I got 'Cause 68 cent just ain't gonna pay the rent So I'll be out until they call the cops
'Cause my job's got me goin' 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
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 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 big guys, because de whole lot a dem saps All de talk dem a talk and dem fly make no drop Nuff ghetto youth cannot escape the trap
[Chorus:] 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
