Lyrics
My wan wan ko
The rhythm of rebirth and rejuvenation
Wan wan ko got me, won't let go
Wan wan ko got me, won't let go
Wan wan ko got me, won't let go
Wan wan ko got me, won't let go
Wan wan ko got me, won't let go
Wan wan ko got me, won't let go
Wan wan ko got me, won't let go
Wan wan ko got me, won't let go
You see that black boy over there running scared?
His old man in the bottle
He done quit his nine to five, and he drink full time
And now he's living in the bottle
You see that black boy over there running scared?
His old man got a problem, and it's a bad one
He done pawned off damn near everything
His old woman's wedding ring for a bottle
Don't you think it's a crime
The way time after time after time
People in the bottle (Living in the bottle)
People sure 'nough in the bottle (In the bottle)
Hey, people in the bottle (Living in the bottle)
Sure 'nough in the bottle (In the bottle)
See that sister sure 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 from the bottle
I seen her out there on the avenue all by herself
Sure need help from the bottle
I seen her, preacher man tried to help her out
She cussed him out and hit him in the head with a bottle
Don't you think it's a crime
The way time after time after time
People in the bottle (Living in the bottle)
People sure 'nough in the bottle (In the bottle)
Hey, people in the bottle (Living in the bottle)
Sure 'nough in the bottle (In the bottle)
Wan wan ko got me, won't let go
Wan wan ko got me, won't let go
Wan wan ko got me, won't let go
Wan wan ko got me, won't let go
See that gent in the wrinkled suit?
He done damn near 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, doc, ain't legal
Now he's hitting the bottle
Now we watch him every day
Trying to chase the bitches away in the bottle
Oh, don't you think it's a crime
The way time after time after time
Don't you think it's a crime
(Don't you think it's a crime)
The way time after time, friends of mine
Living in the bottle (Living in the bottle)
People sure 'nough in the bottle (In the bottle)
Hey, people in the bottle (Living in the bottle)
Sure 'nough in the bottle (In the bottle)
Don't you think it's a crime
The way time after time after time
People in the bottle
Don't you think it's a crime
The way time after time after time
People in the bottle (Living in the bottle)
People sure 'nough in the bottle (In the bottle)
Hey, people in the bottle (Living in the bottle)
Sure 'nough in the bottle (In the bottle)
If you ever come looking for me (Living in the bottle)
You know where I ain't gonna be, in the bottle (In the bottle)
Turn around, look around any corner (Living in the bottle)
If you see some sister looking like a goner
It ain't gonna be me, no (In the bottle, living in the bottle)
Ain't gonna be me, don't have to be you
In the bottle, living in the bottle)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no (In the bottle)
Everybody, raise your voices (Wan wan ko got me, won't let go)
C'mon, everybody (Wan wan ko got me, won't let go)
See that sister sure was fine (Wan wan ko got me, won't let go)
Before she started drinking that wine from the bottle
See that black boy over there running scared?
His old man in the bottle
See that gent in the wrinkled suit?
He done damn near blown his cool in the bottle (In the bottle)
