Lyrics
Now I done grew up 'round some people
livin' their life in bottles
Granddaddy had the golden flask
Backstroke every day in Chicago
Some people like the way it feels
Some people wanna kill their sorrows
Some people wanna fit in with the popular,
that was my problem
I was in the dark room, loud tunes,
lookin' to make a vow soon
That I'ma get fucked up,
fillin' up my cup,
I see the crowd mood
Changin' by the minute
and the record on repeat
Took a sip, then another sip,
then somebody said to me
Why you babysittin' only two or three shots?
I'ma show you how to turn it up a notch
You get a swimming pool full of liquor,
then you dive in
Pool full of liquor,
then you dive in
I wave a few bottles,
then I watch 'em all flock
All the girls wanna play Baywatch
I got a swimming pool full of liquor
and they dive in
Pool full of liquor I'ma dive in
Now open your mind up and listen me
I'm your conscience, if you do not hear me
Then you will be history
I know that you're nauseous right now
And I'm hopin' to lead you to victory
If I take another one down I'ma drown
in poison abusin' my limit
I think that I'm feelin' the vibe,
I see the love in her eyes
I see the feelin', the freedom is granted
As soon as the damage of vodka arrive
This how you capitalize,
this is parental advice
Then apparently, I'm over-influenced
by what you are doin'
I thought I was doin' the most
Why you babysittin' only two or three shots?
I'ma show you how to turn it up a notch
You get a swimming pool full of liquor,
then you dive in
Pool full of liquor,
then you dive in
I wave a few bottles,
then I watch 'em all flock
All the girls wanna play Baywatch
I got a swimming pool full of liquor
and they dive in
Pool full of liquor
I'ma dive in it
I ride, you ride, bang
One chopper, 100 shots, bang
Hop out, do you bang?
Two chopper, 200 shots, bang
I ride, you ride, bang
Two chopper, 200 shots, bang
