Liquor Store Blues – Bruno Mars (feat. Damian Marley)
By
Now greetings to the world (All of you) Right here is the one called Bruno Mars ‘Longside gang to the zilla (Ya know me, I roll)
Standing at this liquor store Whiskey coming through my pores Feeling like I run this whole block (Oh, really?) Lotto tickets, cheap beer That’s why you can catch me here Tryna scratch my way up to the top
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
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 Gang I’m flying high like Superman And thinking 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 Feeling like I woulda stand up to the cops And stand up to the bigger heads because the whole a them a saps All the talk them a talk unemployment no job Enough ghetto youth cannot escape the drag
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
