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

F#m
That's Rock Bottom
When this life makes you're mad enough to kill
E
That's Rock Bottom
When you want something bad enough to steal
A
That's Rock Bottom
When you feel like you've had it up to here
C#
'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
E
I'm hoping things will look up
But there ain't no job openings
A
I feel discouraged, hungry and malnourished
C#
Living in this house with no furnace, unfurnished
F#m
And I'm sick of working dead end jobs with lame pay
E
And I'm tired of being hired and fired the same day
A
But fuck it, if you know the rules to the game play
C#
'Cause when we die we know we're all going the same way
F#m
It's cool to be the player, but it sucks to be the fan
E
When all you need is bucks to be the man
A
Plus a luxury sedan
Too comfortable and roomy in a six
C#
But they threw me in the mix
With all these gloomy lunatics
F#m
Who walk around depressed
And smoke a pound of ses a day
E
And yesterday went by so quick it seems like it was just today
A C#
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)
E
But it's the evil that made me this backstabbing, deceitful, and shady
A
I want the money, the women, the fortune, and the fame
C#
That means I'll end up burning in hell scorching in flames
F#m
That means I'm stealing your checkbook and forging your name
E
There's lifetime bliss for eternal torture and pain
A
'Cause right now I feel like I've just hit the rock bottom
C#
I got problems now everybody on my blocks got 'em (I'm done)
F#m E
I'm screaming like those two cops when 2pac shot 'em
A
Holding two glocks, I hope your doors got new locks on 'em
C#
My daughter's feet ain't got no shoes or socks on 'em
F#m
And the rings you're wearing look like they got a few rocks on 'em
E
And while you flaunt 'em I could be taking them to shops to pawn them
A
I got a couple of rings and a brand new watch you want 'em?
'Cause I never went gold off one song
C#
I'm running up on someone's lawn with guns drawn
[Chorus]
