Rittz - Turning Up the Bottle lyrics

He was a cook at a dead-end job, 26-years-old
She moved back to Atlanta
Fucked over by her father
She had got disowned
He was a frustrated rapper that after so
Long he done quit and lost hope
She was addicted to meth
So was everybody living in her household
Both of them worked on the daytime shift
On break time kicked it, the sparks just flew
She said she heard through the grapevine
He had a girlfriend
He told her "Nah we're through"
But what they had in common
Was a fucked up life
Shit she experienced, he had gone through
Too both of them thought that the
World was against them
Childhood innocence gone too soon
They hooked up, later she moved in
With him and his parents, she was detoxing


He did meth, too, it helped him write songs
But he quit writing shit the
Minute she got clean
You would think that things got
Better but they didn't
Cause instead of doing drugs they'd
Just sit around and drink
Day in and day out cause they hate
Being sober, they broke as a joke
And they think that
Everything is bad, but it all seems OK
When we're turning up the bottle
Trying to see the sun but
The sky seems so gray drowning in our sorrow
Oh, oh, o oh turning up the bottle
Oh, oh, o oh drowning in our sorrow

His parents kicked him out, they
Was sick of the drinking, it was constant
They moved in with her sister and her fiance
At the spot where her mom lived
Now they can drink without a conscience
No one was there to tell them
It was time to grow up
She worked nights at the bar
But they shared one car
He would pick her up and drive home drunk
When they're drinking was the only
Time that life don't suck
Only problem was, they would fight so much
Had to hide any guns in the
House cause they might go nuts
Shoot each other, or they might go fuck
It could go either way, '09 came
Adios to '08 both of them got laid off
So did her mom and her sister
Facing foreclosure with nowhere to stay
No dough put away, Ramon Noodles every night
They applied everywhere to try to get a job
Looking like white trash
Wearing hand-me down clothes
To the job interviews
Still nobody ever called
Running out of time, running out of alcohol
Maybe if they sobered up then
The shit would change
But instead they keep on
Emptying the piggy bank
Up in the liquor store buying
Something cheap to drank, because


He went to a specialist
The doctor said he had an
Ulcer in his stomach
Probably cause he'd eat and then he'd tried
To make himself throw up and vomit
Making room so he could drink
Cause he's a drunk and he's a glutton but
The combination's common
But the fact that he was young
With stomach problems was alarming
But the ulcer wasn't cancerous
Right then he made a promise to his mama
He would quit
He's full of shit he wasn't honest
Cause he only went a month and
Started chugging out the bottle
She was getting sick and always shaking
She's afraid
Cause everything she ate was coming up
One day she made a date to see the doctor
Told him she’s an alcoholic
So they checked her liver
Noticed the aluminum
And fluids were below the level
Plus the color of her skin and eyes
Had turned a tone of yellow
Indicating that she may have got cirrhosis
Of the liver or maybe hepatitis
Maybe nothing
Told her not to drink a lick of liquor
But she never listens
Turning up that bottle

Next to Nothing

Ya uh yeah
