[Verse]
Bm
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
F# Bm
'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
F#
That's got my ass hyper
Bm
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 F#
We all long to blow up and leave the past behind us
Bm
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
F#
Money'll brainwash you and leave your ass mindless
While snakes slither in the grass spineless
[Chorus]

Bm
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
F#
'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
F#
Living in this house with no furnace, unfurnished
Bm
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
F#
'Cause when we die we know we're all going the same way
Bm
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
F#
But they threw me in the mix
With all these gloomy lunatics
Bm
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 F#
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
F#
That means I'll end up burning in hell scorching in flames
Bm
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
F#
I got problems now everybody on my blocks got 'em (I'm done)
Bm 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
F#
My daughter's feet ain't got no shoes or socks on 'em
Bm
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
F#
I'm running up on someone's lawn with guns drawn
[Chorus]
