The Bottom

I been at the bottom
My whole life
But everyday I give it a try
Many avenues and long drives
I still gotta fight the fights
Its like the closer I get
The further I slip
Its fucking with my mind
I keep it positive and shit
Im hopeful
Steady on the grind

I been at the bottom
My whole life
And everyday I give it a try
Many avenues and long drives
I still gotta fight the fights
Its like the closer I get
The further I slip
Its fuckin with my mind
I keep it positive and shit
Im hopeful
Steady on the grind

In and out of
Different commission houses
Me and my mother
Really went through alot
Man I remember a time
When I was young
I had to quiet my mouth
So we could steal a couple things at the shops
I grew up a little hot head
Calm until im not yeah
TG for my Mama Baba
Nanna and my Pop yeah
Dad was always not there
Trauma never got care
Mum was always working
So we sheltered and we got fed
Cans with coloured dots
Fruit covered in spots
Shirts covered in holes
My mind odd as my socks
I was told its all right
But shown that its all wrong
The truth I couldnt see
Cos it was cropped
Had so many questions
They had to lie just so I stop
Couldnt tell me Im too poor for a spot
Couldnt tell me that my PS2 was sold
To get us up
Couldnt show me that
The life that we were living Was enough
Ah
Ah

I been at the bottom
My whole life
But everyday I give it a try
Many avenues and long drives
I still gotta fight the fights
Its like the closer I get
The further I slip
Its fucking with my mind
I keep it positive and shit
Im hopeful
Steady on the grind

I been at the bottom
My whole life
And everyday I give it a try
Many avenues and long drives
I still gotta fight the fights
Its like the closer I get

Its fuckin with my mind
I keep it positive and shit
Im hopeful
Steady on the grind

How do you raise a good kid
If you only
Put a little
Put a little good in
I was just a teen
Tryna fit into the scene
When I started hittin green
When I
Started to sin
When I
Started to live
Stealin all the time
New kicks everyweek
Racking everything I like
The Bottoms where I been
The Bottom I survive
At The Bottom as a kid
And at The Bottom as a guy
Every dog we ever got
We had to give away
Couldnt afford to feed a pup
But thats some shit they couldnt say
My mates gave me stuff
Some shit they know Ill take
They knew I do it rough
And im just gettin thru the day
No fucks
I wasnt fussed
Nah I
Couldnt complain
I was born into this life
And in this life I remain
Im tryna do it right
Im tryna play the game
Now im reachin higher hights
Like Im flying in my brain

I been at the bottom
My whole life
But everyday I give it a try
Many avenues and long drives
I still gotta fight the fights
Its like the closer I get
The further I slip
Its fucking with my mind
I keep it positive and shit
Im hopeful
Steady on the grind

I been at the bottom
My whole life
And everyday I give it a try

Im hopeful
Steady on the grind
