[00:24.98] |
See that black boy over there runnin' scared |
[00:27.95] |
His old man in a bottle |
[00:31.17] |
He done quit his 9 to 5 |
[00:35.27] |
He drink full time and now he's livin' in a bottle |
[00:38.77] |
See that black boy over there runnin' scared |
[00:44.77] |
His old man got a problem |
[00:46.86] |
And it's a bad one |
[00:48.86] |
He done pawned off damn near everything |
[00:52.31] |
His old woman's weddin' ring for a bottle |
[00:56.10] |
And don't you think it's a crime when |
[01:02.90] |
Time after time after time |
[01:06.95] |
People in the bottle |
[01:09.84] |
There's people livin' in the bottle |
[01:13.46] |
Listen to me |
[01:15.37] |
See that sister, sho' was fine |
[01:17.66] |
Before she started drinkin' wine in a bottle |
[01:22.04] |
She told me her old man committed a crime |
[01:26.05] |
He's doin' time and now she's hangin' in a bottle |
[01:31.52] |
I seen her out there on the avenue |
[01:34.14] |
All by herself, she sho' need help from the bottle |
[01:38.35] |
I seen a preacherman try to help her out |
[01:43.13] |
She cussed him out and hit him in the head with a bottle |
[01:46.28] |
They turn to me, and they ask me, Gil |
[01:49.77] |
Don't you think it's a crime the way |
[01:54.13] |
Time after time after time |
[01:57.75] |
People in the bottle |
[01:59.37] |

[02:03.19] |
I'll give you another good example |
[02:06.35] |
You see that gent in the wrinkled suit |
[02:09.10] |
He done damn near blown his cool to the bottle |
[02:11.79] |
He was a doctor helpin' young girls along |
[02:16.98] |
If they weren't too far gone in her problems |
[02:20.32] |
But defenders of the dollar eagle said |
[02:25.86] |
“What you doin, man, ain't legal”“ |
[02:28.34] |
Now he's in the bottle |
[02:30.11] |
And now we watch him everyday |
[02:34.11] |
He's tryin' to chase the prisons away from the bottle |
[02:37.21] |
He turned to me and he said to me, hey now |
[02:41.15] |
Don't you think it's a crime the way |
[02:44.81] |
Time after time |
[02:47.65] |
Friends of mine in the bottle |

[02:53.22] |

[02:56.66] |

[02:57.57] |
I'll tell you a little secret |
[03:31.39] |
If you ever come lookin' for me |
[03:33.70] |
You know where I'm bound to be |
[03:35.66] |
In the bottle |
[03:36.98] |
Turn around |
[03:39.85] |
Look around on any corner |
[03:41.74] |
If you see some brother lookin' like a goner |
[03:45.19] |
It's gonna be me |
[03:47.55] |

A dollar nine, get a bottle of wine |
[04:11.98] |

[04:14.45] |
The bottle |
[04:16.48] |
All that I'm concerned about is a bottle |
[04:18.76] |
It can turn me inside out for the bottle |
[04:23.68] |
All I want |
[04:26.02] |
Said all I want |
