[Verse 1]
Waking up Monday morning getting ready for work Was just up Sunday morning getting ready for church But now I’m back on the ground pulling 12 hour shifts Then I gotta make some dough to feed my family and kids Pay the note where I live and keep food in my fridge It’s hard to walk a straight line when dealing with this shit Cause as a youth I used to hustle and had a gang and cash But you only end up dead or in jail fast Fighting demons in my head trying to pull me away From this life that I’m leading but I know it’s the only way That’s gonna keep me alive, I gotta stay strong Cause I don’t wanna die, I wanna live long It’s hard to do right when you ain’t got the lights On in your crib at night and your kids are scared But you keep your faith strong and know the day will come When you’re rewarded for your actions towards everyone
[Chorus]
Seems so tight looking up from the bottom Everything looks nice looking up from the bottom Man this life sucks looking up from the bottom Cause no one gives a fuck when you’re living at the bottom
But I’mma find a way so I’m looking from the bottom It’s time to make a play start climbing up the ladder Ain’t nobody wanna battle, I live this, it’s my life It’s Kingspade, ? till the day that I die
[Verse 2]
Before you make a move you gotta think about your actions Think about the consequences before they happen You gotta be smarter than the next man Or the captain cause ? Fuck the plan, it’s not your deal Don’t do what they say cause it’s not what you feel Keep shit real and keep it in the pocket If you don’t got the pocket then don’t try to rock it Stop it, let me slip it in the darkness With the monsters creep into the bottom where the ? With your confidence, it gets harder and harder with your ignorance You keep falling farther and the ? Deeper and deeper with your lack of sense The weight’s getting heavy and you’re fall from ? Man this life sucks looking up from the bottom
[Chorus]
Seems so tight looking up from the bottom Everything looks nice looking up from the bottom Man this life sucks looking up from the bottom Cause no one gives a fuck when you’re living at the bottom
But I’mma find a way so I’m looking from the bottom It’s time to make a play start climbing up the ladder Ain’t nobody wanna battle, I live this, it’s my life It’s Kingspade, ? till the day that I die
[Verse 3]
Man I said it before, you never showed me the top ? when I was on the bottom, my life full of struggle Problem after problem fool please You think I don’t know what it’s like to make nachos out of government cheese Two pairs of pants both have holes in the knees As I ask myself when it’s gonna end Now my pops just got sentenced to six in the state pen So I guess this pen now is my best friend That and a pad of paper cause we doing two things these days Writing rhymes and committing a caper And I’ll be damned if I’m gonna ask myself why From this point on yo it’s do or die Look at the people in them fancy cars Look at all the jewellery behind this glass ? Look at all the money in them dresser drawers I’m like fuck it if I can’t get mine I’mma take yours
[Chorus]
Seems so tight looking up from the bottom Everything looks nice looking up from the bottom Man this life sucks looking up from the bottom Cause no one gives a fuck when you’re living at the bottom
But I’mma find a way so I’m looking from the bottom It’s time to make a play start climbing up the ladder Ain’t
