[Verse]
Cm
I feel like I'm walking a tight rope, without a circus net
A#
I'm popping percocets, I'm a nervous wreck
D#
I deserve respect; but I work a sweat for this worthless check
G Cm
'Bout to burst this tech, at somebody to reverse this debt
Minimum wage got my adrenaline caged
A#
Full of venom and rage
Especially when I'm engaged
D#
And my daughter's down to her last diaper
G
That's got my ass hyper
Cm
I pray that god answers, maybe I'll ask nicer
Watching ballers while they're flossing in their pathfinders
A#
These overnight stars becoming autograph signers
D# G
We all long to blow up and leave the past behind us
Cm
Along with the small fry's and average half pinters
A#
While player haters turn bitch like they have vaginas
D#
'Cause we see them dollar signs and let the cash blind us
G
Money'll brainwash you and leave your ass mindless
While snakes slither in the grass spineless
[Chorus]
(Chords 2x)

That's Rock Bottom
When this life makes you're mad enough to kill
A#
That's Rock Bottom
When you want something bad enough to steal
D#
That's Rock Bottom
When you feel like you've had it up to here
G
'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
A#
I'm hoping things will look up
But there ain't no job openings
D#
I feel discouraged, hungry and malnourished
G
Living in this house with no furnace, unfurnished
Cm
And I'm sick of working dead end jobs with lame pay
A#
And I'm tired of being hired and fired the same day
D#
But fuck it, if you know the rules to the game play
G
'Cause when we die we know we're all going the same way
Cm
It's cool to be the player, but it sucks to be the fan
A#
When all you need is bucks to be the man
D#
Plus a luxury sedan
Too comfortable and roomy in a six
G
But they threw me in the mix
With all these gloomy lunatics
Cm
Who walk around depressed
And smoke a pound of ses a day
A#
And yesterday went by so quick it seems like it was just today
D# G
My daughter wants to throw the ball but I'm too stressed to play
Live half my life and throw the rest away
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
N.C.
There's people that love me and people that hate me (yup)
A#
But it's the evil that made me this backstabbing, deceitful, and shady
D#
I want the money, the women, the fortune, and the fame
G
That means I'll end up burning in hell scorching in flames
Cm
That means I'm stealing your checkbook and forging your name
A#
There's lifetime bliss for eternal torture and pain
D#
'Cause right now I feel like I've just hit the rock bottom
G
I got problems now everybody on my blocks got 'em (I'm done)
Cm A#
I'm screaming like those two cops when 2pac shot 'em
D#
Holding two glocks, I hope your doors got new locks on 'em
G
My daughter's feet ain't got no shoes or socks on 'em
Cm
And the rings you're wearing look like they got a few rocks on 'em
A#
And while you flaunt 'em I could be taking them to shops to pawn them
D#
I got a couple of rings and a brand new watch you want 'em?
'Cause I never went gold off one song
G
I'm running up on someone's lawn with guns drawn
[Chorus]
