Thread: грамота

Hi all!

From Олег Митяев's Мой Отец:
Восемь грамот, привод в вытрезвитель
И награда за выслугу лет.
Full lyrics here

I can't seem to get the meaning of this line in the context of the song. Here's my attempt at translation:

Eight diplomas (?), ...
And a bonus for long service

Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.
