Bottoms Up

(DJ Pain 1)

I got skeletons in my closet (two), more than just a few (uh-huh)
My demons claw at the surface, scratching hard, trying to break through
All my life I've seen you, queued up (queued up)
Offering respite, from everything that screwed up

Flowing free, throughout my family tree
Watered down all the roots (uh-huh), saturated every leaf (true)
And from that comes the belief (comes the belief), that my daily regimen of drink
It is a rite of passion from generations that's passed down onto me

Socially used to sip, that's how it started out
Then I slowly lost my grip, and the walls came tumbling down
The more and more I let the spirits pour (uh-huh)
The more and more I hear the spirits roar (uh-huh)
Head first as I dive in, trying to find myself an encore

Got the devil perched on my shoulder, yelling, turn it up (turn it up)
And who am I to deny, no turn downs, only turn-ups
The outside world don't concern us, the outside world don't concern us (nah)
Family pleads fall on deaf ears, them shits there don't deter us

Every day and every night, it's bottoms up (bottoms up)
'Cause I can't block these demons out with a single cup (with a single cup)
Every day and every night, it's bottoms up (bottoms up)
I'm trying to drown this pain, plus I don't give a fuck
So pour it up, knock it back and pour another one (pour another one)
Pour it up, knock it back and pour another one (pour another one)
I done lost my balance (uh-huh), and my speech is slurred (damn)
Still I pour it up, knock it back and pour another one (pour another one)

I'd like to purpose a toast
To the, the drink god
You know uh, you know what
Fuck it, bottoms up

My wading pool soon became Olympic sized
Tried to master every stroke, still got caught up in the tide
Wifey surf trying to ride the wave, try her best to hide away the shame
Knowing that when the liquor rains, then I misbehave

The shit that made my gramps die in so much pain (I remember)
Then my pops turned around and went and did the same (I remember)
Thinking back, and I ask myself why should I be different?
The excuse is there in my DNA, why should I be different? (Why?)

I was a drink champ before Nore
Even though I swore not to walk the path that was laid down here before me
Yeah, here I am, lo and behold, the apple never falls far, I see (uh-huh)
Light or dark, it doesn't matter to me, throw away my life, it never mattered to me

Every day and every night, it's bottoms up (bottoms up)
'Cause I can't block these demons out with a single cup (with a single cup)
Every day and every night, it's bottoms up (bottoms up)
I'm trying to drown this pain, plus I don't give a fuck
So pour it up, knock it back and pour another one (pour another one)
Pour it up, knock it back and pour another one (pour another one)
I done lost my balance (uh-huh), and my speech is slurred (damn)
Still I pour it up, knock it back and pour another one (pour another one)

Digging deeper, sinking into this abyss
Drink so much to numb the pain, now my body heals
Withering in the face of this disease
It's presence kneels
Got my soul in the darkness, enslaves in a permanent hold
And I can't break loose
