The Bottom

We come from the bottom
But we headed to the ceiling
Take one look around
We the realest in the building
We ain't had much
Make the best of our decisions
That's just how it is
Gotta get it how you livin'
Had to get it on my own
Not a damn thing was given
Any given minute
They was robbin' and stealin'
They ain't have much
They was ridin' and drillin'
That's just how it is
Gotta get it how you livin'

Think it's lonely at the top
Just imagine in the bottom
Dealing with this shit
Is something that I do alot of
When I ain't have a pot to piss in
I ain't have a problem
I came a long way if you put it in perspective
Learned more from my losses
'Cause I seen them as a lesson
Learned less from my wins
But I seen 'em as a blessing
Cut off all the ties
From the folks that got me stressing
The ratio that remains
Is the radius to my circle

We come from the bottom
But we headed to the ceiling
Take one look around
We the realest in the building
We ain't had much
Make the best of our decisions
That's just how it is
Gotta get it how you livin'
Had to get it on my own
Not a damn thing was given
Any given minute
They was robbin' and stealin'
They ain't have much
They was ridin' and drillin'
That's just how it is
Gotta get it how you livin'

Oh we really 'bout it
At the bottom of Chicago
South East Side muthafucka yeah I got us
At the top they don't want us
The moment is upon us
Gotta get it how we live
We've been fucking up these commas
And I promise
Really let's honest
We buckin' for them dollas
Get it jumping like Giannis
Fuck the oppas
Yeah they used to mock us
But now look how they watch us
We fightin' for the streets
Even Blanka couldn't stop us

I don't wanna be here no more
At bottom of the block
But the top where we goin' baby
I just want peace no war
It's hard in the streets
Everybody gotta eat man
I done seen and heard it all before
They do drills they hit stains
Then they spin the block again man
Tell me what you really fighting for
The block still hot
But the top where we goin'

We come from the bottom
But we headed to the ceiling
Take one look around
We the realest in the building
We ain't had much
Make the best of our decisions
That's just how it is
Gotta get it how you livin'
Had to get it on my own
Not a damn thing was given
Any given minute
They was robbin' and stealin'
They ain't have much
They was ridin' and drillin'
That's just how it is
Gotta get it how you livin'

We come from the bottom
But we headed to the ceiling
Take one look around
We the realest in the building
We ain't had much
Make the best of our decisions
That's just how it is
Gotta get it how you livin'
