[Ebm] [Gb] [B] Hey yo,
[Gb] this song is dedicated [Bb] to all the happy people.
[Ebm] All the happy people [Db] who have real [Gb] nice lives and have no idea what it's [Bb] like to be broke as fuck.
I [Ebm] feel like I'm walking the tightrope without a circus net.
[Db] Poppin' Percocet, [Gb] I'm a nervous wreck.
I deserve respect but I work a sweat for this worthless tech.
[Bb] I'm about to burst the tech of somebody to reverse [Ebm] his debt.
Minimal Waves got my adrenaline gazed, [Bbm] full of venom and rage.
[Gb] Especially when I'm engaged and my daughter's down to her last diaper.
She's got my ass [Bb] hyper, I pray that God answers.
Maybe I'll ask [Ebm] nicer.
Watch the ballers while they [Bbm] flossin' in they pathfinders.
[Db] These overnight stars become [Gb] an autograph signers.
We all long to blow up and leave the past [Bb] behind us.
Alone with the small fries and average half [Ebm] pinters.
But player haters turn they bitch like they have a [Db] dynas.
Cause we see them dollar signs and let the cash [Gb] blind us.
Money a brainwasher will leave you last [Bb] mindless.
When snakes slither in the grass spineless.
[Ebm] [Abm] [B]
[Gb] My [Bbm] [D]
[Ebm] [Db] [Gb]
[Ebm] [Bb]
[Ebm] life is full of empty promises and broken [Gb] dreams.
I'm hoping things look up but there ain't no job opening.
I feel discouraged, hungry and [Bb] malnourished Living in this house with no firmness, [Ebm] unfirmished
And I'm sick of working dead-end jobs with lame pay
[Bbm] I'm tired of being hired and fired [Eb] the same [Gb] day
But fuck it, you know the rules to the game play
[Bb] And when we die we know we all going the same way
[Ebm] Cause it's cool to be the player, but it sucks to be the [Db] man
And all you need is lucks to be the man, plus the [Gb] luxury sedan
I'm comfortable in the loomie and the sticks
[Bb] But they threw me in the mix with all these gloomy lunatics
[Ebm] Who walk around depredated and smoke a pound of Cessna [Gb] Day
And yesterday went by so quick it seems like it was yesterday
My daughter wants to throw the ball but I'm too stressed [Bb] to play
Live half my life and throw the rest away
Cause [Ebm] that's rock bottom
Life makes you mad enough to care
[Gb] But you want [B] something bad enough to scale
[Ebm] And you feel like you mad enough to hear
[Bb] Cause you mad enough to scream [D] but you sad enough to tear
Cause [Ebm] that's rock bottom
Life makes you mad enough to [Db] care
But you want something bad [Gb] enough to scale
And you feel like you mad enough to hear
Cause you mad [Bb] enough to scream but you sad enough to [Ebm] tear
People that love me, and people that hate me
But it's [Gb] the evil that made me this black, stabbing, [Cm] deceitful, and [Gb] shady
I want the money, the women, the fortune, and fame
That [Bb] means I ain't earning in hell scorching in [Ebm] flames
That means I'm stealing your check more than forging your [Bbm] name
This lifetime bliss for eternal [Gb] torture and pain
Cause right now, I feel like I just hit the rock [Bb] bottom
I got problems, now everybody on my [Ebm] block's got em
I'm screaming like them two cops when Tupac [Gb] shot em
Holding two locks, open doors, got new locks on em
My daughter's feet ain't got no shoes or [Bb] socks on em
And them rings you're wearing look like they got a few [Ebm] rocks on em
And while you flaunt em, I could be [Bbm] taking em to shops to pawn em
I got a couple of rings and a brand new [Gb] watch, you want em?
Cause I ain't never went gold off one [Bb] song
I'm running up on someone's lawn with guns drawn
[Ebm] That's rock bottom
This life makes you mad enough to care
That's rock [Abm] bottom
You want something bad enough to [Gb] stare
That's rock bottom
You feel like you bad enough to [Bbm] hear
Cause you mad enough to [Bb] scream
But you sad enough to fear
[Ebm] That's rock bottom
This life makes you mad enough to [Db] care
That's rock bottom
You want something [Gb] bad enough to stare
That's rock bottom
You feel like you bad enough to hear
Cause you [Bb] mad enough to scream
But you sad enough to [Ebm] fear
That's rock bottom
