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]
  Dm
I feel like I'm walking a tight rope, without a circus net
    C
I'm popping percocets, I'm a nervous wreck
          F
I deserve respect; but I work a sweat for this worthless check
A                                                         Dm
'Bout to burst this tech, at somebody to reverse this debt

Minimum wage got my adrenaline caged
C
Full of venom and rage

Especially when I'm engaged
                F
And my daughter's down to her last diaper
                      A
That's got my ass hyper
                                           Dm
I pray that god answers, maybe I'll ask nicer

Watching ballers while they're flossing in their pathfinders
C
These overnight stars becoming autograph signers
F                                                A
We all long to blow up and leave the past behind us
                                                 Dm
Along with the small fry's and average half pinters
                                                   C
While player haters turn bitch like they have vaginas
                                                       F
'Cause we see them dollar signs and let the cash blind us
                                                A
Money'll brainwash you and leave your ass mindless

While snakes slither in the grass spineless



[Chorus]

            Dm
That's Rock Bottom

When this life makes you're mad enough to kill
            C
That's Rock Bottom

When you want something bad enough to steal
            F
That's Rock Bottom

When you feel like you've had it up to here
             A
'Cause you're mad enough to scream but you're sad enough to tear



[Verse 2]
N.C.                     
My life is full of empty promises

And broken dreams
    C
I'm hoping things will look up

But there ain't no job openings
F
I feel discouraged, hungry and malnourished
A
Living in this house with no furnace, unfurnished
        Dm
And I'm sick of working dead end jobs with lame pay
         C
And I'm tired of being hired and fired the same day
     F
But fuck it, if you know the rules to the game play
        A
'Cause when we die we know we're all going the same way
      Dm
It's cool to be the player, but it sucks to be the fan
     C
When all you need is bucks to be the man
                F
Plus a luxury sedan

Too comfortable and roomy in a six
     A
But they threw me in the mix

With all these gloomy lunatics
         Dm
Who walk around depressed

And smoke a pound of ses a day
      C
And yesterday went by so quick it seems like it was just today
F                                                              A
My daughter wants to throw the ball but I'm too stressed to play

Live half my life and throw the rest away

That's Rock Bottom

When this life makes you're mad enough to kill
            C
That's Rock Bottom

When you want something bad enough to steal
            F
That's Rock Bottom

When you feel like you've had it up to here
             A
'Cause you're mad enough to scream but you're sad enough to tear


[Verse 3]
N.C.
There's people that love me and people that hate me (yup)
                       C
But it's the evil that made me this backstabbing, deceitful, and shady
F
I want the money, the women, the fortune, and the fame
A
That means I'll end up burning in hell scorching in flames
Dm
That means I'm stealing your checkbook and forging your name
C
There's lifetime bliss for eternal torture and pain
         F
'Cause right now I feel like I've just hit the rock bottom
   A
I got problems now everybody on my blocks got 'em (I'm done)
Dm                                                  C
I'm screaming like those two cops when 2pac shot 'em
                                                         F
Holding two glocks, I hope your doors got new locks on 'em
                                                    A
My daughter's feet ain't got no shoes or socks on 'em
                                                                Dm
And the rings you're wearing look like they got a few rocks on 'em
                                                                 C
And while you flaunt 'em I could be taking them to shops to pawn them
                                                         F
I got a couple of rings and a brand new watch you want 'em?

'Cause I never went gold off one song
     A
I'm running up on someone's lawn with guns drawn


[Chorus]
