Lyrics
Album: Slim Shady Lp Song: Rock Bottom

Ah yeah, Yo!  


This song is dedicated to all the happy people


All the happy people who have real nice lives


And who have no idea whats it like to be broke as fuck
Verse One:
I feel like I'm walking a tight rope


Without a circus net


I'm popping percasete


I'm a nervous wreck


I deserve respect


But I work a sweat for this worthless check 


Bout to burst this tech, at somebody to reverse this debt


Minimum wage got my adrenaline caged


Full of venom and rage


Especially when I'm engaged


And my daughter's down to her last diaper


That's got my ass hyper


I pray that god answers, maybe I'll ask nicer


Watching ballers while they flossing in their pathfinders


These overnight stars becoming autograph signers


We'll all gone blow up and leave the past behind us


Along with the small fry's and average half pinters


While playa haters turn bitch like they have vaginas


Cause we see them dollar signs and let the cash blind us


Money will brainwash you and leave your ass mindless


Snakes slither in the grass spineless
Chorus: repeat 2X
That's Rock Bottom


When this life makes you mad enough to kill


That's Rock Bottom


When you want something bad enough you'll steal


That's Rock Bottom


When you feel you have had it up to here


Cause you mad enough to scream but you sad enough to tear
Verse Two:
My life is full of empty promises


And broken dreams


I'm hoping things will look up


But there ain't no job openings


I feel discouraged hungry and malnourished


Living in this house with no furnace, unfurnished


And I'm sick of working dead end jobs with lame pay


And I'm tired of being hired and fired the same day


But fuck it, if you know the rules to the game play


Cause when we die we know were all going the same way


It's cool to be player, but it sucks to be the fan


When all you need is bucks to be the man


Plus a luxury sedan


Too comfortable and roomy in a six


They threw me in the mix


With all these gloomy lunatics


Walk around depressed


And smoke a pound of ses a day


And yesterday went by so quick it seems like it was just today


My daughter wants to throw the ball but I'm too stressed to play


Live half my life and throw the rest away
Chorus
There's people that love me and people that hate me


But it's the evil that made me this backstabbing, deceitful, and shady


I want the money, the women, the fortune, and the fame


That Means I'll end up burning in hell scorching in flames


That means I'm stealing your checkbook and forging your name


Lifetime bliss for eternal torture and pain


Right now I feel like just hit the rock bottom


I got problems now everybody on my blocks got 'em


I'm screaming like those two cops when 2pac shot 'em


Holding two glocks, I hope your doors got new locks on 'em


My daughter's feet ain't got no shoes or sock's on 'em


And them rings you wearing look like they got a few rocks on 'em


And while you flaunting them I could be taking them to shops to pawn them


I got a couple of rings and a brand new watch you want 'em?


Cause I never went gold of one song


I'm running up on someone's lawns with guns drawn
Chorus
