Rock Bottom
Jay-Z

Verse 1:
Yeah, I’ve been down, yeah I’ve been low,
Lost everything, had nowhere to go.
Thought I was done, like the end of the show,
But I found my light, just needed to glow.

Chorus:
Hit rock bottom, but I’m still standing,
Fell so hard, but my dreams are demanding.
When you think it’s over, just wait for the landing,
I’m rising again, and I’ll keep expanding.

Verse 2:
Money was gone, friends disappeared,
Felt like a ghost, living in fear.
But I picked up the pieces, wiped away tears,
Turned my pain into strength through the years.

Chorus:
Hit rock bottom, but I’m still standing,
Fell so hard, but my dreams are demanding.
When you think it’s over, just wait for the landing,
I’m rising again, and I’ll keep expanding.

Bridge:
Streets tried to break me, but I grew tough,
Every scar and bruise, man, it’s all love.
I shout to the sky, won't suffocate,
Cause I’m alive now, it’s never too late.

Verse 3:
I learned to hustle, from the ground up,
Pouring out my heart, gotta fill my cup.
With every setback, I just lifted up,
Don't count me out, I've had enough.

Chorus:
Hit rock bottom, but I’m still standing,
Fell so hard, but my dreams are demanding.
When you think it’s over, just wait for the landing,
I’m rising again, and I’ll keep expanding.

Outro:
So here’s my story, from ashes to gold,
I’m the phoenix, watch me unfold.
Living proof that you can survive,
When you hit rock bottom, that’s when you thrive.
