Caskey - Rock Bottom lyrics
[Caskey - Rock Bottom lyrics]
Yeah, this life, is one big lesson
Starin' at my own reflection
God put me here to spread this message
You could do it and you gotta
What would we be without these problems?
That voice inside, you gotta follow
Only way is up when you
Down at the rock bottom
I done seen some things
I done seen some things
Stuck inside my own ways and
The pain hard to rearrange
Hurt people hurt people
Prob'ly what my pops would need to say
Always been the black sheep, for the flock
I'ma lead the way okay, the pressure is on
And it's gettin' exhaustin' i'm Irish
I feel like the luck should be on my side
But I ain't playin' for Boston
Your homie was needin' you
You wasn't nowhere to be found
And that's why you lost him
We used to vacay in Charleston
Shout out my lil homie Austin
He took the drugs
Ain't know what it would cost him
I done lost people I love
In the most horrific ways
Fentanyl inside pills, gunshots
Car accidents things that I couldn't say
Then when you go to sleep
See 'em inside of yo' dreams
And then you can't look away
So gamblin' with my own life is
A game that I couldn't play, yeah
This life, is one big lesson
Starin' at my own reflection
God put me here to spread this message
You could do it and you gotta
What would we be without these problems?
That voice inside, you gotta follow
Only way is up when you
Down at the rock bottom
To the ones that I love
I know you could do it
Even though you struggle to maintain
There's so many people to
Look to for inspiration
'cause they went through the same thing
You stuck in a comfort zone and I understand
'cause we beings that hate change
But there's greater things on the other side
When you make it through great pain
And I'm an example of it
You get a glimpse of the light
When the candle is lit
On the throne where you could sit
Even though devils are pullin' you into a pit
You gotta get outta the grips
And run to the change that give
You a reason to live
You made it up outta the winter
You a holy sinner and now
It's the season to give
Pour your success into others
If you got some wisdom
You gotta give it to yo' brothers
We all got the same struggles
Even though sometimes feel like we
At war with each other
You only at war with yourself
And every wound is one that you could recover
The game is still one to be
Played with all of yo' heart
'til you hear the sound of the buzzer
This life, is one big lesson
Starin' at my own reflection
God put me here to spread this message
You could do it and you gotta
What would we be without these problems?
That voice inside, you gotta follow
Only way is up when you
Down at the rock bottom
Yeah, skraight up our pain is our gift
It's just 'bout how you channel that energy
You know
The thing about addiction is that, when
You're in the midst of it
Everything is about you
It's about your pleasures, your vices
And the real gift is to take that
Pain and channel it in a way
That builds you up so that you
Can build up everybody around you
Use it for a positive
Only way is up when you at the rock bottom
Starin' at my own reflection
God put me here to spread this message
You could do it and you gotta
What would we be without these problems?
That voice inside, you gotta follow
Only way is up when you
Down at the rock bottom
I done seen some things
I done seen some things
Stuck inside my own ways and
