A-yo!
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]
I Dmfeel like I'm walking a tight rope, without a circus net
I'm Cpopping percocets, I'm a nervous wreck
I deserve Frespect; but I work a sweat for this worthless check
A'Bout to burst this tech, at somebody to reverse this debtDm
Minimum wage got my adrenaline caged
CFull of venom and rage
Especially when I'm engaged
And my daughter'Fs down to her last diaper
That's got my ass hypeAr
I pray that god answers, maybe I'll ask nicDmer
Watching ballers while they're flossing in their pathfinders
CThese overnight stars becoming autograph signers
FWe all long to blow up and leave the past behind Aus
Along with the small fry's and average half pinteDmrs
While player haters turn bitch like they have vaginCas
'Cause we see them dollar signs and let the cash blind Fus
Money'll brainwash you and leave your ass mindleAss
While snakes slither in the grass spineless
[Chorus]

That's Rock DmBottom
When this life makes you're mad enough to kill
That's Rock CBottom
When you want something bad enough to steal
That's Rock FBottom
When you feel like you've had it up to here
'Cause you're Amad enough to scream but you're sad enough to tear
[Verse 2]
N.C.
My life is full of empty promises
And broken dreams
I'm Choping things will look up
But there ain't no job openings
FI feel discouraged, hungry and malnourished
ALiving in this house with no furnace, unfurnished
And I'm Dmsick of working dead end jobs with lame pay
And I'm tCired of being hired and fired the same day
But fFuck it, if you know the rules to the game play
'Cause wAhen we die we know we're all going the same way
It's cDmool to be the player, but it sucks to be the fan
When Call you need is bucks to be the man
Plus a luxury seFdan
Too comfortable and roomy in a six
But tAhey threw me in the mix
With all these gloomy lunatics
Who walk Dmaround depressed
And smoke a pound of ses a day
And yeCsterday went by so quick it seems like it was just today
FMy daughter wants to throw the ball but I'm too stressed to plaAy
Live half my life and throw the rest away
[Chorus]

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