Dr. Dre - Rock Bottom lyrics

[Produced by Ba** Brothers] [Intro] 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 f** [Verse 1] I feel like I'm walking 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 about to burst this TEC 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 It's got my a** hyper I pray that God answers; maybe I'll ask nicer Watchin' ballers while they're flossin' in their Pathfinders These overnight stars becoming 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 turning b**h like they have vaginas ‘Cause we see them dollar signs and let the cash blind us Money'll brainwash you and leave your a** mindless When snakes slither in the gra** spineless [Hook] That's rock bottom When this life makes you mad enough to k** That's rock bottom When you want something 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're sad enough to tear That's rock bottom When this life makes you mad enough to k** That's rock bottom When you want something bad enough to steal That's rock bottom When you feel you've had it up to here ‘Cause you mad enough to scream But you're sad enough to tear [Verse 2] 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 working dead-end jobs with lame pay And I'm tired of being hired and fired the same day But f** it; if you know the rules to the game, play! ‘Cause when we die, we know we all going the same way ‘Cause it's cool to be player, but it s**s 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 [Hook] That's rock bottom When this life makes you mad enough to k** That's rock bottom When you want something 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're sad enough to tear That's rock bottom When this life makes you mad enough to k** That's rock bottom When you want something 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're sad enough to tear [Verse 3] There's people that love me and people that hate me But it's the evil that made me This backstabbin', deceitful and shady I want the money, the women, the fortune and fame If it means I end up burning in Hell, scorchin' in flames If it means I'm stealing your checkbook and forgin' your name This lifetime bliss for eternal torture and pain ‘Cause right now, I feel like just hit the rock bottom I've got problems – now everybody on my block's got 'em I'm screaming like them two cops when 2Pac shot 'em Holding 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 wearing Look like they got a few rocks on 'em And while you flaunt 'em I could be taking '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 [Hook] That's rock bottom When this life makes you mad enough to k** That's rock bottom When you want something 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're sad enough to tear That's rock bottom When this life makes you mad enough to k** That's rock bottom When you want something 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're sad enough to tear
