[Db] Hey yo, [Gb]
this song is dedicated [Bb] to all the happy people.
[Ebm]
All the happy [Db] people who have real nice [Gb] lives and have no [F] idea what it's like [Bb] to be broke as fuck.
[Ebm] I feel like I'm walking the tightrope without a circus [Db] net, popping Percocet.
I'm a nervous [Gb] wreck, I deserve respect, but I work a sweat for this worthless [Bb] check.
I'm about to burst a tank of somebody to [Ebm] reverse the deck.
Minimum wage, got my adrenaline [Bbm] gazed, full of venom and rage, especially when I'm [Gb] engaged
and my daughter's down to her last diaper.
She's got [Bb] my ass hyper, I pray that God answers.
Maybe [Ebm] I'll ask nicer, watch the lawless while they flossin' in they [Db] pathfinders.
These [Bbm] overnight stars become an [Gb] autograph signers.
We all long to blow up and leave the [Bb] past behind us, along with the small fries and
average [Ebm] half-finers.
But plenty here to turn they bitch like [Db] they have a dynas, cause we see them dollar signs
and let the [Gb] cash blind us.
Money will brainwash you and leave you [Bb] last mindless, when snakes slither in the grass [Ebm] spineless.
That's rock bottom.
When this life makes you mad enough to [Db] care.
That's rock bottom.
When you want something bad enough [Gb] to stare.
That's rock bottom.
When you feel like you're bad enough to [Bb] care, cause you mad enough to scream, but you [Bb] sad
enough [Ebm] to tear.
That's rock bottom.
When this life makes you mad enough [Db] to care.
That's rock bottom.
When you want something [Gb] bad enough to stare.
That's rock bottom.
When you feel like you're bad enough to [F] care, cause you mad enough to [Bb] scream, but you sad
enough to [Ebm] tear.
My life is full of empty promises and broken [Db] dreams.
I'm hoping things look up, but there ain't no job [Gb] openings.
I feel discouraged, hungry and mad [Bb] and nervous.
Living in this house with no firmness, [Ebm] unfurless.
And I'm sick of working dead-end jobs, but they [Db] ain't gay.
But I'm tired of being hired and fired the same [Gb] day.
But fuck it, you know the rules to the game [Bb] play.
Cause when we die, we know we all going the same [Ebm] way.
Cause it's cool to be the player, but it sucks to be the [Db] fan.
And all you need is bucks to be the man, plus the [Gb] luxury sedan.
I'm comfortable in loomie and a [Bb] six, but they do me in the mix with all these gloomy lunatics.
[Ebm] You walk around depressed, you smoke a pound of cessed [Db] egg.
Yesterday went [Bb] by so quick, it seems like it was [Gb] yesterday.
My daughter wants to throw the ball, but I'm too [Bb] stressed to play.
The path of life is all the rest is vague.
[Ebm] That's rock bottom.
When it's life makes you mad enough to care.
[Db] That's rock bottom.
When you want something bad enough to [Gb] stay.
That's rock bottom.
When you feel like you're bad enough to [Bb] care, cause you mad enough to scream, but you sad
enough to tear.
[Ebm] That's rock bottom.
When it's life makes you mad enough to care.
[Db] That's rock bottom.
When you want something [Gb] bad enough to stay.
That's rock bottom.
When you feel like you're bad enough to [F] care, cause you mad enough to scream, but you sad
enough to [Ebm] tear.
It's people that love me, and people that hate me.
But it's [Db] the evil that made me this black stabbed deceitful and [Gb] shady.
I want the money, the women, the fortune, the [Bb] fame.
That means I end up earning in hell scorching in [Ebm] flame.
It means I'm stealing your checkbook and forging your [Db] name.
It's lifetime bliss, but eternal torture and [Gb] pain.
Cause right now, I feel like I just hit the rock [Bb] bottom.
I got problems, now everybody on my blocks [Ebm] got em.
I'm screaming like them two cops when Tupac [Db] shot em.
Holding two blocks, hope the doors got new [Gb] locks on em.
My daughter's feet ain't got no shoes or socks [Bb] on em.
And the rings you're wearing look like they got a few rocks [Ebm] on em.
And while you flaunting em, I could be taking em to shops [Db] to pawn em.
I got a couple of rings and a brand new [Gb] watch, you want em?
Cause I ain't never win gold off one [Bb] song.
I'm running up on someone's lawn with guns drawn.
[Ebm] That's rock bottom.
When it's life makes you mad enough to care.
[Db] That's rock bottom.
When you want [B] something bad enough to stay.
[Gb] That's rock bottom.
When you feel like you're bad enough to care, [Bb] cause you mad enough to scream, but you sad
enough to tear.
[Ebm] That's rock bottom.
When it's life makes you mad enough to care.
[Db] That's rock bottom.
When you want [Gb] something bad enough to stay.
That's rock bottom.
When you feel like you're bad enough to care, [F] cause you mad enough to scream, [Bb] but you sad
enough to tear.
[Ebm] That's rock bottom.
