See that black boy over there running scared
His old man in a bottle
He done quit his nine to five
He drinks full time
And now he living in the bottle
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
Now don't you think it's a crime
When time after time after time
People in the bottle
There's people living in the bottle
Now listen to me
You see that sister sure was fine
Before she started drinking wine
In a bottle
She told me her old man committed a crime
He's doing time
Now she's living in the bottle
I seen her out there on the avenue
All by herself
She sure need help from the bottle
I seen her preacher man try to help her out
She cussed him out
And hit him in the head with a bottle
Come on now, don't you think it's a crime
When time after time after time
People in the bottle
There's sure enough people in the bottle
Here's another good example
You see that gent in the big old suit
He done damn near blew his cool
In the bottle
He was a doctor helping young girls along
If they wasn't too far gone to have problems
But the defenders of the dollar eagle
Said what you're doing man ain't legal
Now he's in the bottle
Now we watch him every day
Trying to chase the feelings away
With a bottle
Come on now tell me, don't you think it's a crime
When time after time friends of mine
In the bottle
There's sure enough people in the bottle
Come on hit me a lick one time slick
