I can't say looking back right now just where our love went wrong
But the hard cold fact is she's not here she's gone
Made me a promise she'd be true till the rivers all ran dry
The rivers still runnin' but she's long said goodbye
That's why I'm down on the bottom
Where the Moccasin's King and the big tall cypress grow
Seems the only place that a country boy can find some peace of mind
And get back up, is on the bottom
Got friends in the world outside but none quite like ol' Cajun Joe
He lives down a slough where the river used to flow
Worked real hard most of his life till the pushin' came to shove
Gave it all he had but he just couldn't rise above
That's why he's down at the bottom
Where the alligator swims and the old grey moss hangs low
Seems the only place that a country boy can find some piece of mind
And get back up, is on the bottom
I can get back up here on the bottom

Who's gonna love me ?
Will you ?
I open my heart to you.
An expression of love so precious should never be wasted,
but cherished eternally.
And how long will you let me love you this way ?
Forever ?
Then forever I'll love you,
with a love supreme.
Don't give up your search for love,
it's worth the wait.

You suffocate
You cannot wait for this to just be over
You want to run and just be done
Your what you can't control here
Don't know what your thinking
This ship is sinking
I will meet you at the bottom
The waves can't wash away all the scars you bare
See you at the bottom
You just hold on to the things that keep you there
You suffer the cost when all this is lost
It just doesn't make sense to go there
All the hate that your fear
It slowly appears back into you with no control
Don't know what your thinking
This ship is sinking
I will meet you at the bottom
The waves can't wash away all the scars you've made
See you at the bottom
You just hold on to the things that keep you there
Just fucking stand for something
You'll never take us all
You never get it right
You never get it right
We'll always stand and fight
You never get it right
It's cold down here at the bottom
I will meet you at the bottom
The waves can't wash away all the scars you've made
See you at the bottom

Ooh, ooh yeah
From the bottom to the top
I got 'em
Yeah, yeah Miami
Yeah the place to go
Cause we got beaches
We got them all
We got everything
Hundred and ten degrees
Sunshine city baby
Represent
I was up in the hood
Down at my boy's house
It was the summer time
When everyone would hang out
Down at the corner store
We had the best of times
Yelling bingo at every car that came by
I knew that I had this dream
And I wanted them to believe
That I was gonna make it
It happened so fast
I can't believe at last
I headed to the ATL
Just to hear the sound
Hooked up with Dallas
And he had a record planned
Then JT Money said
He would put Miami down
Yeah that bottom, yeah
I'm from the city where the bass drop
Where the girls and the temperature stay hot
That bottom where that bass game started
And the girls shake their thing whole-hearted
MIA, 48 cabinets
Straight luggin' and it don't be happening
Old school on the fools and the chumps
Let it out playing old school funk
Big Sammie put it down for the bottom
Fly honeys want money we got 'em
What'cha know about the Miami heat huh?
About how they shoot or what all that street?
A place where all the stuff retreat
Where they move to an up tempo beat
Never sleep, you know this thing don't stop
Coming from the bottom straight to the top

How High. Soldiers pull boys through rain
ground to their toes ground to the dirt
(oh) my. They spilled down the steps
filed in rows like hair likes to pour
like skin loves to warm
but teeth don't pull like these chains don't drag around
.... because it's safe at the bottom....
Wind down to the beds of the leaves
bedding of sand where fire don't burn (but
the tops of trees)
Out, out of the head streams a maze
of colors and shapes that dance from these walls
but trust don't pay like these guns don't fuck around
.... we know it's safe at the bottom....
I know what I know, and all I ever need is you
Down, down in the sand lives alone
in shackles and bone meat blood from grown
gravel and stone
but teeth don't pull like these chains don't drag around
.... because it's safe at the bottom....
Calm but never finds rest these bones
for what we don't know for all that we know
It's all that we've known
but trust don't pay like these guns don't fuck around
.... we know it's safe at the bottom....
I know what I know, and all I ever need is you

[Intro: Shyheim]
Yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah
It's Young God, Shyheim
Yeah, Bottom Up Records, I'm CEO, nigga
But it's still Wu-Tang, you heard?
This goes out to all the political prisoners
DLA, stay g'd up, what
[Shyheim]
Stay on top comrade, cuz the bottom is crowded
The bottom is bout it, on the bottom it pops everybody wildin'
On a mission wantin' the riches and the baddest bitches
Ghetto chemists, gloves and masks in the kitchen
Dope and cut mixing, the bottom, somebody's mother's addicted
The bottom's black and hispanics in prison, the bottom's the unprivileged
The top is the drop, the top is the yacht
The top is this fly here, Cardier watch
Another coffin with the body of my friend in it
An untimely death, and I can't quite, comprehend it
Whoever told you, being a thug is fun, lie
Many nights in my cell, late at night I cried
So ashamed of myself, from myself I tried to hide
Thought the high would ease the pain, but it didn't
I smelt the death in the airs, walkin' through the halls of Clinton
God borns build to destroy, build to destroy borns God
[Interlude: Shyheim]
I wrote it for a pound in my palms
Borns a bullet in your heart, motherfucker
Shit, just listen, nigga
I ain't askin' y'all niggaz to dance
I ain't askin' y'all niggaz to sing along or nothing homey
Listen to your boy, fool
[Shyheim]
Fuck the messenger, pay attention to the message
About this oppression, after descretion, of the department of corrections
I'm a felon in they crooked institutions, so I'm considered a slave
According to the constitution, thirteenth amendment
Officers try to discover your loved ones, when they come and visit
And phone calls be ridiculous, three ninety nine for the first
And nineteen cents, these additional minutes
Behind these cold walls, these d'evils, be killin' people
Like it's legal, tax payers, this is what your money goes to
State prisons got bigger budgets than schools
Keep 'em dumb and lock 'em up, warehouse, double bunk and stack 'em up
White cracker, on the top of the roof, shot me dead for spreadin' the truth
Will I go down in history like Malcolm, get me my own boulevard

Hey homie where you come from
Who me I come from tha bottom tha bottom tha bottom
Tha bottom by haystak mak million
The trials and trigilations of the lost souls forced to life
On the bottom we do what we got to do
Baby there aint no rules no regulations
There's only playing and hating down here
What side are you on side are you on side are you on
Coming up I didn't have a pot to piss in
Now I shine watch me glisten remenissin
Didn't listen folks told me id be killed
I was hypnotized by gun smoke power
And big bills cold chills chrome and gold wheels
Driving in a ? in and out of Nashville
Damn it feels good riding leather with the wood
Its in my blood I just don't give a fuck
Living it up hit the club gleaming
Step on stage the crowd start screaming
Cant slow down no time now
On to the next town we proudly present haystak mak
Mr. down south shit shining like a iced out silk outfit
Down here we having things
Damn them player haters clocking digits like adding machines and calculators
We done came so far still we got so far to go
Yea we came from the bottom but where are we now
About a hot step from being world renown we done came so far
Still we got so far to go yea we came from the bottom but where are we now
About a hot step from being world renown
I go visit my homeboy he grew a beard his hairs all matted
Up tatted up he act like 30 is 25 added up
Went from having money and girls with beautiful skin
Now he's just another number in the federal Penn
He tell me haystak you know what to boy
God got a plan for you boy we always knew boy
My boy don't let your talent go to waste
There wont be no cds and tapes in this god forsaken place
When you on top they gone hate that ass
You know it don't stop better make that cash
No one lives forever my time here's temporary
And they cant burry memories in no cemetery
When I die look up in the sky
When that cloud shaped like a drop top lac floats by
Haha that will be stak mak look close bopping his head
Weaving between the stars still dodging the feds
We done came so far still we got so far to go
Yea we came from the bottom but where are we now
About a hot step from being world renown we done came so far
Still we got so far to go yea we came from the bottom
But where are we now huh huh
Represent that boy my lyrics sting like rival clicks
That round the corner down south survivor shit
My boy survived three or four gunshots leave the hospital worst than before
Hollering this means war off his mommas front porch
Id like to propose a toast to getting paid for life
You want it you got to work for it
Day and night that's right that's right you heard me boy
You want to learn to get that money observe me boy
My people been gone my people doing time
Wrote this with you in mind
Im a see you shine say a prayer for my players
Living life on the run before its all said and done
Were going to shine like the sun destined for number one
Damn second or third use communications to move the nation
Thru the power of words shining like pearl paint
My people is plenty paid sitting in the shade
Mixing tanguray with minute maid lemonade
And ah we done came so far still we got so far to go
Yea we came from the bottom but where are we now
About a hot step from being world renown
Ugh, you I ain't forgot where I came from
Touring big city's nation wide I never changed from
Backwards pimping the moon dogs balling
Baby I aint tripping Im just balling where Im calling
You know id like to dedicate this song
To my grandparents for teaching me
Just because we start out on the bottom
We don't have to stay on the bottom nooooooo

In a crumbling land
I was singing in the junkyard choir again
And I was waiting for my moment to come
I was beating on the timpani drum in the rain
Asleep inside a rusty van
Parked beside the taxi stand
Well it's nothing I would ever recommend to you
The freaks are on parade
On the uptown promenade
If you ever wanna see the bottom, then I'll show you
I was screaming again
I was screaming at a hot dog vendor again
I can't remember why I snapped
Probably just a little lapse of reason
Virtues come and virtues go
I dressed up in women's clothes
And strolled down 42nd Street today
And I walked up to a man
In an Acura sedan, and said that
If you ever wanna see the bottom, then I'll show you
It's a long way to the top
And it's way more fun to drop
If you ever wanna see the bottom
Do you really wanna see the bottom?
If you really wanna see the bottom,

If you wanna sink to the bottom with me
Come get gotten, reelin' and rotten beneath
1, 2, 3 and down you go
You'll be smilin' before you know
If you wanna sink to the bottom with me
We're all rotten, buried and forgotten
Livin' it up underground
So take a ride
HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY!
You really can't be lookin' so surprised
If you can't beat them, might as well eat them
No one's gettin' out alive
Give it a try
HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY!
It really is a wicked way to die
Listen my friend to the sound of a sweet melody
Doesn't it seem to resound like an old memory?
Screamin' and cryin' we'll have none of that
Yoy had your chance now just sit and relax
Don't you wanna sink to the bottom with me?
We're all rotten, buried and forgotten
Living it up underground
So take a ride
HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY!
You really can't be looking so surprised
If you can't beat them, might as well eat them
No one's gettin' out alive
Give it a try
HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY!
It really is a wicked way to die
You'll get used to it in a while
Look at the way each of us smile
You were livin' a fantasy
This is exactly what you need
Don't you wanna sink to the bottom with me?
You're getting real gotten, reelin' and rotten beneath
1, 2, 3 and down you go
Feel that smile just start to grow
If you wanna sink to the bottom
We're all rotten, buried and forgotten
Living it up underground
So take a ride
HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY!
You really can't be looking so surprised
If you can't beat them, might as well eat them
No one's gettin' out alive
So give it a try, try, try, try
It really is a wicked way, it really is a wicked way,
It really is a wicked way to die
They're all just so pathetic
It's all psychosomatic
The more they think the more we know

[Chorus:]
I'm from the bottom, From the motherfuckin bottom
I'm from the bottom' You don't want no fuckin problems
The top is sweet, The bottom is sour
But you gotta love the bottom cause the bottom is ours [x2]
[Verse:]
I ain't from up north, I ain't from dirty south
I'm from a town niggas never seen never heard about
But fuck word of mouth, Nigga follow that murder route
We like scrappin, But we love pullin them burners out
And we ain't concerned with clout, The bottom is the bottom
Ain't no top out here, Once you got spot em then you got em
We stack the cream, Serve crack to fiends
And wrap the pack-ag-ing in vaseline
Run shops on the block, Keep the stashes clean
We still hittin in the hole, Fuck the tractor beam
The hash is green, Lil shorties is down bad
Empty out the dutch and throw the 40's in brown bags
And I don't know where ya'll was placed in the ground at
But now I'm shakin the ground, Takin my town back
I'm tryin to put us up front, You takin us round back
Rap about bullshit, Makin us sound wack
I'm breakin it down fact for fact, You opinionated
I'm a limited edition, You eliminated
Intimidated, Cause another sucka wildin
And me I'm just smilin, I'm from the motherfuckin bottom

Science!
Beaten bun
I've gotten to the bottom
Sixteen full of great
Got bought in from the night
She is whispering in my ear
All of my greatest fears
Beaten bun
I've gone to the bottom
I call my name inside the box
She can see me its too dark

Elevator operator
Look at me and smile a weary smile
You know my face could easily decieve
The wisest of them all
Are you going to the penthouse
Or the condo that lies just beyond the chapel doors
He just smiled and softly told me no
I'm going to the bottom
Chorus:
I'm going all the way down
To the bottom
So turn the music up real high
And let the sweetest benedictine liquor flow
No need to worry about tomorrow
Cause you're not here
I'm going all the way down
To the bottom
Rainy streets, Wet memory
Find a place inside to pass the time
The doug serves up my brandy and I drink
And pray your picture fades
You dressed in black
You turned your back
On the only heart that ever loved you so
The bells rang on the day you died

sitting all curled up inside, the only place where i can hide. where i can hide. i'll just put up a fake smile, that ought to fool them for a while. why should they know? they don't know who i am, still they think i'm crazy. i think of what i done 'til now, the perfect way to bring me down. to bring me down. i'm scared to fail so i don't try. i let my chances pass me by.... the bottom's fallen out and i think i'm crazy. i don't know what i'm about. i don't know and i'm crazy.... i should be my, but who will that be? i don't know what i'm about, i don't know and i'm crazy. and i'm crazy.

It was 5 am and you were
Standing soaking wet outside my door
Let go of your shame dear
Please come in from the storm and I'll explain
Now as I gaze into your eyes
I see inherently nothing
So I'll wait
But you're too close to the bottom
I'm too late, this time
Your shocking stare was uncomprehensive
I could see betrayal in your tears
I'm sorry it's not easy
I'm sorry that you gave it all to me
Now as I gaze into your eyes
I see them flowing like a river
So I'll swim
To keep your head above the water
I'm too late, this time
You would give me your soul
But it would never be enough for me
I blame myself for this pain
I'm letting you know that none of it's your fault.
You're shattered and broken down
Without a sound
Please hold on
You would give me your soul
But it would never be enough for me
I blame myself for this pain
I'm letting you know that
You would give me your soul

You're one step closer to the edge
And I, I barely feel alive
All used up, I'm dead inside
But I'm still trying, fix yourself now
I'm not the one you need to
Give up on now, I'm worried sick
Now it's a time to play
It'll all be okay when I know you're safe
But you're reaching for the bottom
And we'll all make it through
I'm just not sure about you
'Cause you're heading for the bottom
I'm one step closer to the edge of you
You still don't feel alive
You're used up and full of pride
And we're still here to win
It'll all be okay when I know you're safe
But you're reaching for the bottom
And we'll all make it through
I'm just not sure about you
'Cause you're heading for the bottom
I can't be the one to always pull you from the bottom
I can't be in your sick world, I can't be here anymore
I can't be the one to always pull you from the bottom
I can't be in your sick world not anymore
It'll all be okay when I know you're safe
But you're reaching for the bottom
And we'll all make it through
I'm just not sure about you
'Cause you're heading for the bottom
It'll all be okay when I know you're safe
