Rock Bottom

With a little bit of hope and a little bit of time
I got my back against the ropes till November on the grind
Gone like Wyclef, I’m gone like a refugee
Everyday I'm hustling! Gotta feed my family
Lost my job and my bank account empty I think i'm on edge so homie don't tempt me
Tragedy! Calamity! Insanity!
All this turbulence is gonna bring out the man in me
I stay humble in the cut
I'm a double up, bubble up and cause trouble what!
Kids growing up! But I ain't home
And I hate to think about my wife sleeping all alone
In need of her man so he can be hands on
But I pray she sleeps alone and never share our throne
Tell the kids I'll be home before long
But for as long as i'm gone...

I'm rock bottom! I’m in a hole this time
I think just stepped on an old landmine
I'm rock bottom! I got me in a hole this time
I think I just stepped on an old landmine
I'm rock bottom! Time to rise and shine
All it's gone take is just a matter of time
I'm rock bottom! Trying to keep my soul in line
I'm climbing! Out of this hole this time

I saw my homie Greg. He says he's doing great
He just got promoted. I say I'm ok
He knows where the party at but I can't stay
Says I should I should come along he ball out all day
Fine dining, VIP, champagne
Doing the damn thang. Yes he loves to make it rain
I'll take a rain check for a brighter day
Coz I can't keep up with ten times my pay
So I'll be sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time till a ship come my way
Sail away and find new things to say
And I'll be back to being a champ like Ali, bomaye!
Flow like a butterfly effect on a bee hive stinging
With a heavy buzz I stay fly when I'm winging
Sidetracked dealing with this income bringing
All I got is rap couldn't cut it at singing

Wherever I go you gotta know your the one that makes me happy
I'll be still the same guy that you know waking up with my hair all nappy
Hey you are my sunshine always even when the day is crappy
Grey clouds bring the summer rain round but I'm dreaming of you don't slap me

So so glad when I ring her
Always so glad when I ring her
Sunshine I will bring her
And I can't wait to smell her
Got so many things I want to tell her
Baby one day it's gonna be better
