Lyrics

[Intro]
Now greetings to the world
Voice of the one called Bruno Mars 'longside Gong to the Zilla
[Verse 1]
Standing at this liquor store
Whiskey coming through my pores
Feelin' 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 top
[PreChorus]
'Cause my job's got me going nowhere
So I ain't got a thing to lose (No, no, you don't)
Take me to a place where I don't care
This is me and my liquor store blues (Yo)
[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
[Verse 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 until they call the cops
[PreChorus]
'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
[Verse 3]
Here comes Junior Gong
I'm flying high like Superman
I'm 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
[Verse 4]
Feelin' like I woulda stand up to di cops
And stand up to the bigger heads because di whole of them are saps
All the talk them ah talk and them fly make no drop
'Nuff ghetto yute 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
[Outro]
Now greetings to the world
Voice of the one called Bruno Mars 'longside Gong to the Zilla
A.K.A. Damian Junior Gong Marley
Yes, sir
You best believe
Know me
Yeah
