[Verse 1:]
At the moment, I'd like to take ownis for my situation
Shoulda played my cards better hopefully I'll get some aces
A lot of sh** wrong but I really can't complain
I can walk, I can see, I can breathe, what a shame
A lot people love to blame other people for they problems
And forget to give thanks to the ones that help you solve em
I lost a lot sh** but I got a scholarship
To that degree in the future I'm a see a lot chips
I'm a need a lot of dip but right now I ain't holding
The prophecy was spoken, can't say ain't told em
I've been up and down, can't say I ain't coasting
Burnt on both sidesm can't say I ain't toasted
See these the hard times that'll make you cop a beer
And chill by yourself by all means prop a chair
Drop a tear if you have to 'til you can't cry no more
There ain't no way but up, we on the bottom floor
[Hook]
I'm so sorry, I hate the lobby
Before you close the elevator door
There's nowhere to go but up
Press the number, what are you waiting for
The doors are closing, hold it for me
I know because I've seen it done before
And if you're looking for us we'll be here waiting
For you on the bottom floor
[Verse 2:]
I've been down before like, “Get up Craig”
Take a brick and hit life in his big ol' head
Give it time, you'll be fine, f** what them hoes said
And you might feel like it's true but it's just in yo head
Charles, get outta here, got me feeling like an X-man
My girl down for real, she ain't move on to the next man
And plus I still got my dogs like a true X fan
Just waitin' on my call like, "What to do next fam"
Go hard even if I never make a damn dime
But you could never say I didn't make a damn grind
Some people that I know try they best to down mine
So these are just my thoughts I drew 'em in down time
Sometimes I feel a kick like the newest alpine
It's some sh** I won't forget like they do wit Alzheim
Some people that I thought was friends, they don't even call no more
There ain't no way but up, we on the Bottom Floor
Repeat Hook
[Verse 3:]
The recession was a good thing, in my opinion
A lot of rich n***as got to see how I was living
Dead broke, left in the cold, no coat
So low, tryna get high, no dope
Right now im tryna get by, no hope
Until I be afloat in the sky, no boat
So I used it, the music, so I wouldn't Lose it
But stayed in the driver seat even when I boozed it
Drunk by myself, in a slump by myself
Which motivated me to be in front by myself
And use words as a mirror, a reflection of myself
No modem, but still had a connection wit myself
These times are meant to be tough by design
Sometimes I should just Urban Meyer and resign
But nah, my name at the top and they callin for it
There ain't no way but up, we on the bottom floor
Repeat Hook
