| [00:24.429] | See that black boy over there runnin' scared |
| [00:27.496] | His old man in a bottle |
| [00:32.776] | He done quit his 9 to 5 |
| [00:34.691] | He drink full time and now he's livin' in a bottle |
| [00:41.268] | See that black boy over there runnin' scared |
| [00:44.518] | His old man got a problem |
| [00:47.003] | And it's a bad one |
| [00:48.538] | He done pawned off damn near everything, |
| [00:51.684] | His old woman's weddin' ring for a bottle |
| [00:58.311] | And don't you think it's a crime when |
| [01:03.397] | Time after time after time |
| [01:06.210] | People in the bottle |
| [01:08.480] | There's people livin' in the bottle |
| [01:14.108] | Listen to me |
| [01:15.137] | See that sister, sho' was fine |
| [01:17.155] | Before she started drinkin' wine in a bottle |
| [01:22.237] | She told me her old man committed a crime |
| [01:25.525] | He's doin' time and now she's hangin' in a bottle |
| [01:30.845] | I seen her out there on the avenue |
| [01:34.020] | All by herself, she sho' need help from the bottle |
| [01:39.159] | I seen a preacherman try to help her out |
| [01:42.495] | She cussed him out and hit him in the head with a bottle |
| [01:46.772] | They turn to me, and they ask me, Gil, |
| [01:49.037] | Don't you think it's a crime the way |
| [01:54.024] | Time after time after time |
| [01:56.947] | People in the bottle |
| [01:59.315] | There's people sho' nuff in the bottle |
| [02:03.503] | I'll give you another good example |
| [02:05.933] | You see that gent in the wrinkled suit |
| [02:07.991] | He done damn near blown his cool to the bottle |
| [02:12.947] | He was a doctor helpin' young girls along |
| [02:16.418] | If they wasn't too far gone in her problems |
| [02:22.086] | But defenders of the dollar eagle said, |
| [02:25.707] | “What you doin, man, ain't legal” |
| [02:27.475] | Now he's in the bottle |
| [02:31.570] | And now we watch him everyday |
| [02:33.615] | He's tryin' to chase the prisons away from the bottle |
| [02:37.884] | He turned to me and he said to me, hey now |
| [02:40.485] | Don't you think it's a crime the way |
| [02:45.031] | Time after time |
| [02:47.077] | Friends of mine in the bottle |
| [02:50.702] | There's people sho nuff in the bottle |
