Rock Bottom
• Written by ZLA
Rock bottom - the floor hard,
My knees weak,
Try so hard - to make ends meet,
I pull the strings but they never attach,
I only wish they left a door with a latch. x2
Let the poetry synchronize -
With my mind - I'm a slave to the pen,
Lie awake on the bottom - I just dream of the top,
In some less sly words - I was raised to descend,
I was ten years old when I started to write,
Dropped lines that was harder than life,
I'm a father to trife,
I adopted the old Hip Hop,
Old school boom bap - with the light high hat,
Snap back faced back with my old J's on,
T-shirt stained out and I'm all assed out,
Past doubt - My future is decided by my pain inside,
Reality was dead to me - that motherfucker came alive,
Right before my very eyesight - court side seats,
Fallin' victim to the 4-5 screech,
Hearin' screams of the demons - always callin' my name,
I want a house full of love fuck a hall full of fame.
Rock bottom - the floor hard,
My knees weak,
Try so hard - to make ends meet,
I pull the strings but they never attach,
I only wish they left a door with a latch. x2
I be trapped in,
Locked and loaded,
My bars never be decoded,
Never sugar coat it,
I'm an artist 'till I fly to the man,
Try my hardest cause this art is every reason I stand,
I remember vividly when I viewed things differently,
Back when I was actin' like them,
Who am I?
The usual kid lookin' lost in a crowd wishin' that his step father was proud,
