In The Bottle by C.O.D. (electro) Lyrics
[Intro]
Uno, dos. Uno, dos, tres, cuatro
[Verse 1]
See that black boy over there, running scared
His old man's in the bottle
He done quit 9 to 5, he drinks full-time
Now he's living, huh, in the bottle!
See that black boy over there, running scared
His old man's got a problem, and it’s a bad one
He done pawned off damn near everything
His old woman's wedding ring for the bottle
[Chorus]
And don't you think it's a crime?
Time after time after time, living in the bottle
There's people living in the bottle
[Verse 2]
Oh, listen to me
See that sister 'sho was fine
Before she started drinking wine from the bottle
She told me her old man committed a crime, he's doing time
Now she's hanging in the bottle
I seen her out there on the avenue
All by herself, she sure needs help from the bottle
I seen a preacher man tried to help her
She cursed him out and hit him in the head with a bottle
[Chorus]
And don't you think it's a crime?
Time after time after time, living in the bottle
There's people living in the bottle
In the bottle
In the bottle
[Verse 3]
See that dude in a wrinkled suit
He done nearly blown his cool in the bottle
He was a doctor helping young girls along
If they wasn't too far gone to have problems
Defenders of the dollar eagle
Said, “What you’re doing, man, ain’t legal”
Now he's in the bottle
Now he's working everyday
Trying to chase his breath away from the bottle
[Chorus]
And don't you think it's a crime?
Time after time after time, living in the bottle
There's people living in the bottle
Here's another one!
[Verse 4]
If you ever come looking for me
You know where I'm gonna be, in the bottle
Look around on any corner
If you see a brother looking like a goner
It's gonna, be me, huh!
Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh!
[Outro]
Time after time after time, living in the bottle

There's people living in the bottle

There's people living in the bottle
