Rock Bottom lyrics

[Intro]

Ayo, this song is dedicated

To all the happy people

All the happy people who have real nice lives

And have no idea what it's like to be broke as fuck

[Verse 1]

I feel like I'm walkin' a tight rope without a circus net

Poppin' Percocet, I'm a nervous wreck

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

I'm 'bout to burst this TEC at somebody to reverse this debt

Minimum wage got my adrenaline caged

Full of venom and rage, 'specially when I'm engaged

And my daughter's down to her last diaper, it's got my ass hyper

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

Watchin' ballers while they flossin' in they Pathfinders

These overnight stars becomin' autograph-signers

We all long to blow up and leave the past behind us

Along with the small fries and average half-pinters

But player-haters turnin' bitch like they have vaginas

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

Money'll brainwash you and leave yo' ass mindless

Them snakes slither in the grass, spineless

[Chorus]

That's rock bottom, when this life makes you mad enough to kill

That's rock bottom, when you want somethin' bad enough to steal

That's rock bottom, when you feel like you've had it up to here

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

That's rock bottom, when this life makes you mad enough to kill

That's rock bottom, when you want somethin' bad enough to steal

That's rock bottom, when you feel like you've had it up to here

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

[Verse 2]

My life is full of empty promises and broken dreams

I'm hopin' things look up, but there ain't no job openings

I feel discouraged, hungry and malnourished

Livin' in this house with no furnace, unfurnished

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

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

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

'Cause when we die, we know we all goin' the same way

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

When all you need is bucks to be the man, plus a luxury sedan

Or comfortable and roomy in a 6

But they threw me in the mix with all these gloomy lunatics

Who walk around depressed, and smoke a pound of cess 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 to play

Live half my life and throw the rest away

[Chorus]

That's rock bottom, when this life makes you mad enough to kill

That's rock bottom, when you want somethin' bad enough to steal

That's rock bottom, when you feel like you've had it up to here

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

That's rock bottom, when this life makes you mad enough to kill

That's rock bottom, when you want somethin' bad enough to steal

That's rock bottom, when you feel like you've had it up to here

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

[Verse 3]

There's people that love me and people that hate me (Yup)

But it's the evil that made me

This backstabbin', deceitful and shady (Mhm)

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

That means I end up burnin' in Hell, scorchin' in flame

That means I'm stealin' your checkbook and forgin' your name

This lifetime bliss for eternal torture and pain

'Cause right now, I feel like I've just hit the rock bottom

I've got problems, now everybody on my block's got 'em (Duh)

I'm screamin' like them two cops when 2Pac shot 'em

Holdin' two Glocks, hope your doors got new locks on 'em

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

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

And while you flaunt 'em

I could be takin' 'em to shops to pawn 'em

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

'Cause I ain't never went gold off one song

I'm runnin' up on someone's lawn with guns drawn

[Chorus]

That's rock bottom, when this life makes you mad enough to kill

That's rock bottom, when you want somethin' bad enough to steal

That's rock bottom, when you feel like you've had it up to here

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

That's rock bottom, when this life makes you mad enough to kill

That's rock bottom, when you want somethin' bad enough to steal

That's rock bottom, when you feel like you've had it up to here

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

That's rock bottom
