Rock Bottom

Lyrics

[Pre-Chorus] Yeah, this life, is one big lesson Starin' at my own reflection God put me here to spread This message [Chorus] 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 [Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] This life, is one big lesson Starin' at my own reflection God put me here to spread This message [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] This life, is one big lesson Starin' at my own reflection God put me here to spread This message [Chorus] 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 [Outro] 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
