About Liquor Store Blues (feat. Damian Marley)

This song about a fed up guy finding solace in drink is the second single by American singer-songwriter Bruno Mars, taken from his debut album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans (2010). This reggae-tinged jam features reggae artist Damian Marley (Welcome to Jamrock). Mars told 4music: "Being from Hawaii, the Marleys are royalty. Damien is incredible and he's got the talent to back it up. He's not riding his fathers fame. He's the truth. I thought it would be a dream come true if I could get one of my idols to be on this song. .

Liquor Store Blues (feat. Damian Marley) Lyrics

[00:01.98] Now greetings to the world (all of you)
[00:03.44] Voice of da one called Bruno Mars
[00:04.10] 'Long side Gong to the Zilla (you know me and roll)
[00:07.25]
[00:13.13] Standing at this liquor store
[00:15.08] Whiskey coming through my pores
[00:16.61] Feeling like I run this whole block (oh really)
[00:19.76] Lotto tickets, cheap beer
[00:21.45] That's why you can catch me here
[00:22.96] Tryna scratch my way up to the top
[00:25.62] 'Cause my job got me going nowhere
[00:29.15] So I ain't got a thing to lose
[00:32.03] Take me to a place where I don't care
[00:35.12] This is me and my liquor store blues (yo)
[00:38.24] I'll take one shot for my pain
[00:41.80] One drag for my sorrow
[00:45.20] Get messed up today
[00:48.11] I'll be okay tomorrow
[00:51.32] One shot for my pain
[00:54.53] One drag for my sorrow
[00:57.99] Get messed up today
[01:00.99] I'll be okay tomorrow
[01:05.87] Me and my guitar tonight
[01:07.36] Singing to the city lights
[01:08.90] Tryna live on more than what I got
[01:12.04] 'Cause 68 cent just ain't gon' pay the rent
[01:14.94] So I'll be out here 'til they call the cops
[01:18.16] 'Cause my job got me going nowhere
[01:21.29] So I ain't got a thing to lose
[01:24.48] Take me to a place where I don't care
[01:27.70] This is me and my liquor store blues
[01:30.99] I'll take one shot for my pain
[01:34.17] One drag for my sorrow
[01:37.34] Get messed up today
[01:40.80] I'll be okay tomorrow
[01:43.99] One shot for my pain
[01:46.93] One drag for my sorrow
[01:50.20] Get messed up today
[01:53.36] I'll be okay tomorrow
[01:58.69] Here comes Junior Gong
[01:59.97] I'm flying like I'm Superman
[02:01.39] I'm thinking that I run the whole block
[02:04.34] I don't know if it's just because
[02:06.10] Pineapple kush between my jaws
[02:07.81] Has got me feeling like I'm on top
[02:10.39] Feeling like I woulda stand up to the cops
[02:13.31] And stand up to di bigga heads
[02:15.32] Becuh whole ah dem ah saps
[02:17.10] All dem talk dem ah talk
[02:18.74] And dem fly make nah drop
[02:20.16] Nuff ghetto youth cannot escape the trap
[02:23.11]

[02:52.42] One drag for my sorrow
[02:55.32] Get messed up today
[02:58.55] I'll be okay tomorrow
[03:01.92] One shot for my pain
[03:05.07] One drag for my sorrow
