| [00:24.98] | See that black boy over there runnin' scared |
| [00:27.95] | His old man in a bottle |
| [00:31.17] | He done quit his 9 to 5 |
| [00:35.27] | He drink full time and now he's livin' in a bottle |
| [00:38.77] | See that black boy over there runnin' scared |
| [00:44.77] | His old man got a problem |
| [00:46.86] | And it's a bad one |
| [00:48.86] | He done pawned off damn near everything |
| [00:52.31] | His old woman's weddin' ring for a bottle |
| [00:56.10] | And don't you think it's a crime when |
| [01:02.90] | Time after time after time |
| [01:06.95] | People in the bottle |
| [01:09.84] | There's people livin' in the bottle |
| [01:13.46] | Listen to me |
| [01:15.37] | See that sister, sho' was fine |
| [01:17.66] | Before she started drinkin' wine in a bottle |
| [01:22.04] | She told me her old man committed a crime |
| [01:26.05] | He's doin' time and now she's hangin' in a bottle |
| [01:31.52] | I seen her out there on the avenue |
| [01:34.14] | All by herself, she sho' need help from the bottle |
| [01:38.35] | I seen a preacherman try to help her out |
| [01:43.13] | She cussed him out and hit him in the head with a bottle |
| [01:46.28] | They turn to me, and they ask me, Gil |
| [01:49.77] | Don't you think it's a crime the way |
| [01:54.13] | Time after time after time |
| [01:57.75] | People in the bottle |
| [01:59.37] | There's people sho' nuff in the bottle |
| [02:03.19] | I'll give you another good example |
| [02:06.35] | You see that gent in the wrinkled suit |
| [02:09.10] | He done damn near blown his cool to the bottle |
| [02:11.79] | He was a doctor helpin' young girls along |
| [02:16.98] | If they weren't too far gone in her problems |
| [02:20.32] | But defenders of the dollar eagle said |
| [02:25.86] | “What you doin, man, ain't legal”“ |
| [02:28.34] | Now he's in the bottle |
| [02:30.11] | And now we watch him everyday |
| [02:34.11] | He's tryin' to chase the prisons away from the bottle |
| [02:37.21] | He turned to me and he said to me, hey now |
| [02:41.15] | Don't you think it's a crime the way |
| [02:44.81] | Time after time |
