Eminem - Rock Bottom lyrics

Ayo, this song is dedicated
To all the happy people
All the happy people who have real nice lives
And have no idea what it's like
To be broke as fuck

I feel like I'm walkin' a tight
Rope without a circus net
Poppin' Percocet, I'm a nervous wreck
I deserve respect but I work a
Sweat for this worthless check
I'm 'bout to burst this TEC at
Somebody to reverse this debt
Minimum wage got my adrenaline caged
Full of venom and rage
'specially when I'm engaged
And my daughter's down to her last diaper
It's got my ass hyper
I pray that God answers, maybe I'll ask nicer
Watchin' ballers while they flossin'
In they Pathfinders these overnight stars


Becomin' autograph-signers
We all long to blow up and
Leave the past behind us
Along with the small fries
And average half-pinters
But player haters turnin' bitch
Like they have vaginas
'Cause we see them dollar signs and
Let the cash blind us
Money'll brainwash you and leave
Yo' ass mindless
Them snakes slither in the grass, spineless

That's rock bottom
When this life makes you mad enough to kill
That's rock bottom
When you want somethin' bad enough to steal
That's rock bottom
When you feel like you've had it up to here
'Cause you mad enough to scream
But you sad enough to tear
That's rock bottom
When this life makes you mad enough to kill
That's rock bottom
When you want somethin' bad enough to steal
That's rock bottom
When you feel like you've had it up to here
'Cause you mad enough to scream
But you sad enough to tear

My life is full of empty
Promises and broken dreams
I'm hopin' things look up
But there ain't no job openings
I feel discouraged, hungry and malnourished
Livin' in this house with no furnace
Unfurnished and I'm sick of workin' dead-end
Jobs with lame pay
And I'm tired of bein' hired
And fired the same day
But fuck it, if you know
The rules to the game, play
'Cause when we die
We know we all goin' the same way
'Cause it's cool to be the player
But it sucks to be the fan
When all you need is bucks to be the man
Plus a luxury sedan
Or comfortable and roomy in a 6
But they threw me in the mix
With all these gloomy lunatics
Who walk around depressed
And smoke a pound of cess 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

That's rock bottom
When this life makes you mad enough to kill
That's rock bottom
When you want somethin' bad enough to steal
That's rock bottom
When you feel like you've had it up to here
'Cause you mad enough to scream
But you sad enough to tear
That's rock bottom
When this life makes you mad enough to kill
That's rock bottom
When you want somethin' bad enough to steal
That's rock bottom
When you feel like you've had it up to here
'Cause you mad enough to scream
But you sad enough to tear

There's people that love me and
People that hate me (Yup)
But it's the evil that made me
This backstabbin', deceitful and shady (Mhm)
I want the money, the women
The fortune and fame
That means I end up burnin' in Hell
Scorchin' in flame
That means I'm stealin' your checkbook
And forgin' your name
This lifetime bliss for eternal
Torture and pain 'Cause right now
I feel like I've just hit the rock bottom
I've got problems
Now everybody on my block's got 'em (Duh)
I'm screamin' like them two cops
When 2Pac shot 'em holdin' two Glocks
Hope your doors got new locks on 'em
My daughter's feet ain't got no
Shoes or socks on 'em
And them rings you wearin' look like they
Got a few rocks on 'em
And while you flaunt 'em
I could be takin' 'em to shops to pawn 'em
I got a couple of rings
And a brand-new watch, you want 'em?
'Cause I ain't never went gold off one song
I'm runnin' up on someone's
Lawn with guns drawn

That's rock bottom
When this life makes you mad enough to kill
That's rock bottom
When you want somethin' bad enough to steal
That's rock bottom
When you feel like you've had it up to here
'Cause you mad enough to scream
But you sad enough to tear
That's rock bottom
When this life makes you mad enough to kill
That's rock bottom
When you want somethin' bad enough to steal
That's rock bottom
When you feel like you've had it up to here
'Cause you mad enough to scream
But you sad enough to tear
That's rock bottom
