[Intro]
Yeah, yuh
Started from the bottom now we're here
Started from the bottom now my whole team here
[Verse 1: Adam WarRock]
Well it's a cold, cold world that's why I got me a coat
Cause we're about out of hope I hope y'all rappers can float
Make the hands clap, hoping backpackin' rappers resolve that
We're the firing squad, I'll give y'all rappers a smoke
This ain't grumpy old men, this is young Jack and Walter
Losing more than Parker Lewis bank accounts falter
Nerdcore gods y'all best to pray to the altar
Too bad it don't mean nothing to our mothers and fathers
Try my best to keep my head above the water
Any ideas that might spark, huntin' only white sharks
White knights to troglodytes, twenty-sided-dice fights
Sellin' all our albums if the price is right, yo
You thought we had the good life, well tough sh**
Still trying to keep the gas on and the fire lit
Started underground and then we fell to the Earth's core
Who ever thought we'd make a living doing only nerdcore?
[Hook]
Started from the bottom now we're here
Started from the bottom now my whole team (still here)
Started from the bottom now we're here
Started from the bottom now my whole team (still here)
Started from the bottom now we're here
Started from the bottom now my whole team (still here)
Started on the bottom now we're here
Started from the bottom now my whole team (still here)
[Verse 2: Adam WarRock]
This one's for bottom feeders and those catfish acts
Or the nerds that tried their best but just did rap bad
To them b**h a** dads that beat their wives and kids
And those cops who shoot first, no questions were asked (f** y'all)
We take no names, this is no friends
This the line where mister nice guy and bad guy ends
Hey you want a punch line? Okay I got you
I'm colder than the fluid that runs through Nosferatu
[Verse 3: Mikal kHill]
Hey guys
Yeah, well it's kHill
Haven't seen you in a few days
Gettin' gray hair but I guess it's my Silver Age
Doin' sh** the same way, couple years now
Laugh out loud, can't keep a narcissist down
And we found a better path than the one of least resistance
Carving out a niche and then growing to present it
If I said it I meant it except the part that I didn't
You think that it's a game? Well guess what?
It totally is
[Hook]
Started from the bottom now we're here
Started from the bottom now my whole team (still here)
Started from the bottom now we're here
Started from the bottom now my whole team (still here)
Started from the bottom now we're here
Started from the bottom now my whole team (still here)
Started from the bottom now we're here
Started from the bottom now my whole team (still here)
[Verse 4: Mikal kHill]
When I was in high school I never could've imagined that
Anyone would care if I could tour the country like I did
But I was pushing thirty 'fore I found my own voice
And it was past that, realized I didn't have a choice
This was do it or die, why try to lie my way back out of it
Keep going [?] [?] combatative[?]
My thoughts I've rerouted however make it work
Fifty percent the nicest guy, other half I'm a jerk
I'm a looming disaster soundtrack
My old a** only laughter before the dust blows I get to the hereafter
Me and WarRock counted down the hours on a doomsday clock
Watching other people try to start and then have to stop
That ain't hip hop, they stay clinging to the ghosts of their youth
One step towards keeping it real's keeping it true (ooh ooh)
Rabid and [?] stalwart and [?] grumpiest in the game
Did it their own f**ing way from the birth to the grave
[Hook]
Started from the bottom now we're here
Started from the bottom now my whole team (still here)
Started from the bottom now we're here
Started from the bottom now my whole team (still here)
Started from the bottom now we're here
Started from the bottom now my whole team (still here)
Started from the bottom now we're here
Started from the bottom now my whole team (still here)
