BOTTOMS OF THE BOTTOMS
Rock Bottom in the River Bottoms
Lil Kane
INTRO
Yeah…
Lil Kane.
Bottoms of the bottoms.
Rock bottom in the river bottoms.
Sometimes life takes you down low
just to see if you know how to get back up.
Imperial Beach, San Diego.
From the pavement to the sand.
HOOK
Bottoms of the bottoms, rock bottom in the river,
Life keeps moving, make a grown man shiver.
Father, grant me patience, give me wisdom, give me strength,
Help me live for every day, make it through another length.
Ain't my fault, did I do that?
Look around, who's responsible for that?
From the pavement to the sand, still standing where I stand,
Imperial Beach, San Diego, that's exactly who I am.
VERSE 1 — 48 BARS
1. Hit the bottom of the bottom, still looking for a way,
2. Woke up with another chance, another brand-new day.
3. Life got a funny way of testing what you're made of,
4. Sometimes you gotta lose a little just to see what you ain't made of.
5. Shoulda, woulda, coulda, everybody got a story,
6. Everybody wants the shine, nobody wants the morning.
7. I was down in the river bottom, looking at the sky,
8. Asking myself questions, trying to figure out why.
9. Father, give me patience, let me walk a better road,
10. Give me strength to carry on and wisdom for the load.
11. Push, hustle, and strive, that's the rhythm of the day,
12. Even when the road gets rough, I keep finding my way.
13. Padres fitted, San Diego sitting on my head,
14. Aztecs in the building, three fingers in the air instead.
15. From the pavement to the sand, that's the place I represent,
16. Imperial Beach by the water, every word is heaven-sent.
17. Land to the water, Pacific to be specific,
18. San Diego in my system, that's the way I kick it.
19. Killer Instinct, in sync, got the arcade in my brain,
20. Sub-Zero with the cold thoughts, Scorpion with the flame.
21. Mortal Kombat mentality, but I'm playing with the lines,
22. Every round another lesson, every level takes time.
23. Mrs. Pac-Man in the corner, getting lost up in the maze,
24. Everybody chasing something, everybody got a phase.
25. Buster bust, corn nuts, chestnuts in the mix,
26. Got a pocket full of punchlines and a bag of little tricks.
27. Ain't my fault, did I do that? Look at what you started,
28. Everybody pointing fingers when the whole thing got retarded.
29. Pretty women, good times, trying to keep the mood right,
30. Still I keep my head clear when I'm walking through the night.
31. San Diego Savage, but I keep my cool collected,
32. Every move I make is measured, every lesson gets respected.
33. Still a Raskol in my spirit, still got beach in my veins,
34. Even when the weather changes, I'm still standing through the rain.
35. Rock bottom ain't a home, it's a place you pass through,
36. You can learn a lot about yourself when the world gets at you.
37. No excuses, no pretending, no disguises for the truth,
38. Every scar becomes a story, every day becomes the proof.
39. From the land to the water, let the Pacific roll,
40. Got a little bit of humor and a whole lot of soul.
41. If I stumble, I recover, if I fall, I rearrange,
42. Life is never staying still, everything is bound to change.
43. I'm not claiming I got answers, I'm just trying to get it right,
44. Put a little faith inside me when I'm walking through the night.
45. Bottoms of the bottoms, but I'm never staying there,
46. Keep my feet upon the pavement, let the ocean clear the air.
47. Lil Kane from the beach, let the whole world understand,
48. Imperial Beach forever, that's exactly where I stand.

VERSE 2 — 48 BARS
1. Another day, another chapter, another page to turn,
2. Some lessons come with patience, some are lessons that you earn.
3. Everybody got opinions, everybody got advice,
4. But nobody pays the price when you gotta roll the dice.
5. I've been down, I've been around, I've seen a thing or two,
6. Learned to separate the real from everybody acting new.
7. Shoulda, woulda, coulda, that's a phrase I hear a lot,
8. But wishing doesn't change a thing, you gotta use what you got.
9. Rock bottom in the river bottom, looking for a sign,
10. Trying to make a little sense of this complicated life.
11. Some days feel like Monday, even when it's Friday,
12. Saturday through Sunday, still trying to find my highway.
13. Pay day, high day, another day to get it done,
14. Life keeps moving forward, never waiting for no one.
15. Knock knock, who's there? Lil Kane at the door,
16. Welcome to the I-zone, been around here before.
17. Home sweet home, but the world can get strange,
18. Sometimes you gott
