Lyrics
0:14The Bottle -Maysa
0:24See that black boy over there runnin' scared
0:27His ol' man's in a bottle
0:32He done quit his 9 to 5 to drink full time
0:35So now he's livin' in the bottle
0:40See that Black boy over there runnin' scared
0:43His ol' man got a problem
0:47Pawned off damn near everything his ol'
0:50Woman's weddin' ring for a bottle
0:56And don't you think it's a crime
0:59When time after time people in the bottle
1:19See that sista sho wuz fine before she
1:21Started drinkin' wine
1:23From the bottle
1:26Said her ol' man committed a crime
1:29And he's doin' time
1:30So now she's in the bottle
1:34She's out there on the avenue all by herself
1:38Sho' needs help from the bottle
1:43Preacherman tried to help her out
1:44She cussed him out and hit him in the head with a bottle
1:50And don't you think it's a crime
1:54When time after time people in the bottle
2:07See that gent in the wrinkled suit
2:16He done damn near blown his cool
2:18To the bottle
2:20He wuz a doctor helpin' young girls along
2:24If they wuzn't too far gone to have problems
2:29But defenders of the dollar eagle
2:32Said What you doin' Doc it ain't legal
2:34And now he's in the bottle
2:38Now we watch him everyday tryin' to
2:40Chase the pigeons away
2:50From the bottle
2:58And don't you think it's a crime
3:13When time after time people in the bottle
The Bottle -Maysa See that black boy over there runnin' scared His ol' man's in a bottle He done quit his 9 to 5 to drink full time So now he's livin' in the bottle See that Black boy over there runnin' scared His ol' man got a problem Pawned off damn near everything his ol' Woman's weddin' ring for a bottle And don't you think it's a crime When time after time people in the bottle See that sista sho wuz fine before she Started drinkin' wine From the bottle Said her ol' man committed a crime And he's doin' time So now she's in the bottle She's out there on the avenue all by herself Sho' needs help from the bottle Preacherman tried to help her out She cussed him out and hit him in the head with a bottle And don't you think it's a crime When time after time people in the bottle See that gent in the wrinkled suit He done damn near blown his cool To the bottle He wuz a doctor helpin' young girls along If they wuzn't too far gone to have problems But defenders of the dollar eagle Said What you doin' Doc it ain't legal And now he's in the bottle Now we watch him everyday tryin' to Chase the pigeons away From the bottle And don't you think it's a crime When time after time people in the bottle
