Rock Bottom

Ah yeah, yo!

This song is dedicated to all the happy people

All the happy people who have real nice lives

And who have no idea whats it like to be broke as fuck

Verse One:

I feel like I'm walking a tight rope, without a circus net

I'm popping perkasets, I'm a nervous wreck

I deserve respect; but I work a sweat for this worthless check

Bout to burst this tech, at somebody to reverse this debt

Minimum wage got my adrenaline caged

Full of venom and rage

Especially when I'm engaged

And my daughter's down to her last diaper

That's got my ass hyper

I pray that god answers, maybe I'll ask nicer

Watching ballers while they flossing in their pathfinders

These overnight stars becoming autograph signers

We'll all gone blow up and leave the past behind us

Along with the small fry's and average half pinters

While playa haters turn bitch like they have vaginas

Cause we see them dollar signs and let the cash blind us

Money will brainwash you and leave your ass mindless

Snakes slither in the grass spineless

Chorus: repeat 2X

That's Rock Bottom

When this life makes you mad enough to kill

That's Rock Bottom

When you want something bad enough you'll steal

That's Rock Bottom

When you feel you have had it up to here

Cause you mad enough to scream but you sad enough to tear

Verse Two:

My life is full of empty promises

And broken dreams

I'm hoping things will look up

But there ain't no job openings

I feel discouraged hungry and malnourished

Living in this house with no furnace, unfurnished

And I'm sick of working dead end jobs with lame pay

And I'm tired of being hired and fired the same day

But fuck it, if you know the rules to the game play

Cause when we die we know were all going the same way

It's cool to be player, but it sucks to be the fan

When all you need is bucks to be the man

Plus a luxury sedan

Too comfortable and roomy in a six

They threw me in the mix

With all these gloomy lunatics

Walk around depressed

And smoke a pound of ses a day

And yesterday went by so quick it seems like it was just today

My daughter wants to throw the ball but I'm too stressed toplay

Live half my life and throw the rest away

Chorus

There's people that love me and people that hate me

But it's the evil that made me this backstabbing, deceitful, andshady

I want the money, the women, the fortune, and the fame

That Means I'll end up burning in hell scorching in flames

That means I'm stealing your checkbook and forging your name

Lifetime bliss for eternal torture and pain

Right now I feel like just hit the rock bottom

I got problems now everybody on my blocks got 'em

I'm screaming like those two cops when 2pac shot 'em

Holding two glocks, I hope your doors got new locks on 'em

My daughter's feet ain't got no shoes or sock's on 'em

And them rings you wearing look like they got a few rocks on'em

And while you flaunting them I could be taking them to shops topawn them

I got a couple of rings and a brand new watch you want 'em?

Cause I never went gold of one song

I'm running up on someone's lawns with guns drawn

Chorus
