[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

[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

[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
