Curtiss King - The Bottom lyrics

[Produced by Skhye Hutch] [Verse 1: Curtiss King] Yesterday was all smiles It was daps, it was pounds, it was carefree livin' Then it all crashed down, my momma lost her job They used to treat us so unfairly But at least she got a check to take care of the necessary Me and my sister had no money And we knew the rent was comin', and we knew we couldn't function So we kinda job huntin', I say kinda job huntin' Cause I was stuck in between an obligation to my dreams And my responsibilities as the man of the house Every mornin' I felt ashamed Give my mom a new excuse why I ain't out here gettin' paid Even though I've been producin' and promotin' all day That ain't the type of work that make the bills go away And those the type of words that made me feel a certain way Like I'm worser than a coward without a f**in' vertebrae Fridge empty and I'm thinkin, "Man, how much more can I take?" 'Till the sheriff's at the door with the new eviction [Hook: Brooke Taylor] Even though I've been strugglin', I know I'll make it Put my faith and my energy into my music I will rise, I will rise From the bottom, the bottom, the bottom All my dreams are reality, and I can see it Keep on pushin' cause one day I will achieve it I will rise, I will rise From the bottom, the bottom, the bottom [Verse 2: Curtiss King] Yesterday was all smiles And I just moved in with Jenks In a one-bedroom apartment that was shared by three My family moved to Compton by the Tims by Alondra Even Kendrick'll tell yah, the wrong fein'll shoot your momma How can I feel like a king? I feel like I was part of the problem How could I blame Obama? That ain't the reason I was jobless I was actin' like a child, stuck inside a man Homie that broke me down and made me so f**in' depressed And I took it out on my roommates but they put that sh** on hold quick Like it's time to man up cause we all goin' through our own sh** Plus you 26, stop actin' like a b**h And I didn't want to be homeless so of course I grew up quick Me and my boys ain't have a lot except the things we could afford And a couple of war stories we would share when we record 'Till it was knocks at the door, by the nosy landlord She said "You need to keep it down, the neighbors hear you through the floor" [Hook: Brooke Taylor] [Outro] The Bible, Proverbs 18:14 says "The spirit of a man will sustain him in sickness, but who can bear a broken spirit? The spirit of a man will sustain him in sickness. You gotta keep yourself strong."
