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 topCause 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

[Damian Marley:]
Here comes Junior Gong… Jia coms yunior gong
I’m flying high like superman… am flayin jai laik superman
And thinking that I run the whole block… an tinkin dat ay ran de jool blok
I don’t know if it’s just because… ay don no if its yios bicos
Pinapple kush between my jaws… painapel kush bituin ma yos
Has got me feeling like I’m on top… ‘as got mi filin laik aym on tap
Feeling like I woulda stand up to the cops… filin laik a wuda estondap tu da cops
And stand up to da bigger heads because de whole a dem a saps… en estandap tu da bigue jeds bicos de jool a dem a saps
All de talk dem a talk and dem fly make no drop… ol de tok dem a tok en dem flae meik no drap
Nuff ghetto youth cannot escape the trap… naf guto yiut cannat eskeip de tshrap

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
