Sharing insight into their early conversations, which began as far back as 2010, Protoje recalled, «Chronixx and myself, from the first day we met, have talked about doing music together when the time was right. The stars have now aligned.»
The song is an anthem for the free spirited, unrestricted by the opinions of others and the perception of inadequacy. The video shows the day starting off with all going well, and as the day presents certain challenges, we keep moving nevertheless with a positive attitude.

LYRICS
Standing at this liquor store
Whiskey coming through my pores
Feeling like I run this whole block
Lotto tickets and cheap beer
Thats why you can catch me here
Tryna scratch my way up to the top
Cause my jobs got me going nowhere
So I aint got a thing to lose
Take me to a place where I dont care
This is me and my liquor store blues
Ill take one shot for my pain
One drag for my sorrow
Get messed up today
Ill be okay tomorrow
One shot for my pain
One drag for my sorrow
Get messed up today
Ill be okay tomorrow
Me and my guitar tonight
Singing to the city lights
Tryna live on more than what I got
Cause 68 cent
Just aint gonna pay the rent so
Ill be out here til they call the cops
Cause my job got me going nowhere
So I aint got a thing to lose
Take me to a place where I dont care
This is me and my liquor store blues
Ill take one shot for my pain
One drag for my sorrow
Get messed up today
Ill be okay tomorrow
One shot for my pain
One drag for my sorrow
Get messed up today
Ill be okay tomorrow
Here comes Junior Gong
Im flying high like Superman
And thinking that I run the whole block
I dont if its just because
Pinapple kush between my jaws
Has got me feeling like Im on top
Feeling like I woulda stand up to the cops
And stand up to da bigger heads because de whole a dem a saps
All de talk dem a talk and dem (fly make no drop)
Nuff ghetto youth cannot escape the trap
Give me this one shot for my pain
One drag for my sorrow
Get messed up today
Ill be okay tomorrow
One shot for my pain
One drag for my sorrow
Get messed up today
Ill be okay tomorrow
