The Bottom Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Well UK culture like
[Am]Usually is, very centered towards,
um, London
Like that's where like UK culture
presumably is
From the outside world like people
who are not in the UK
But really in UK, Birmingham like
they got they own culture
Manchester's got they own culture
Like Nottingham got its own culture
And even Liverpool
got they own culture
And obviously Northampton as well
And the maddest
thing about all those places
Is like, there's one thing that they
all have in common
And thats that there's a bottom
of the power
And the bottom of the power is real gritty,
you [E]hear me?
[C#m]Doesn't matter where you
com[E]in' from cos
All around the world there's a ghetto
All [Am]around the world there's a slum
[E]All around the world there's a
hood, somewhere
All around the world there's
[Am]always a bottom
Grease Vybz Kartel man are bleached

[Verse 2]
Come through [G#aug]the
fog like
steez
Upon horseback manna breeze
[E]Water it dow[Am]n like Evian
Think that Tyron's naive
Pitchforks [G#aug]and keys
Telling me farmers ain't got dreams?
(farmer's are [Am]com ing)
Grease
Vybz Kartel man are bleached
[G#aug]Come through the fog like
steez
Upon horseback manna breeze
[E]Water it dow[Am]n like Evian
Think that Tyron's naive
Pitch[E]forks and [G#aug]keys
[E]Telling me farmers ain't got
[Am]dreams?

[Verse 3]
Tyron's too crooked [Am]Tackle
the scene two footed
Pose for [E]a scene but factually speaking
Them man are leeches
Them man are just pussies
[Am]Trap for a weekend
when they [E]ain't eating
[Am]Run to their Mummys
Northants ain't got [E]the twang
like Brummys
More time I can't confined
Cause problems
No father figure,
but my [Am]mum was watching
Bamboo, grew up too fast,
no confidence
Butterfly stomach,
didn't [E]have no options
Drugs or a job and the job
got lost quick
Ignorant obvious, [Am]man's obnoxious
Voice in my head
"Don't go to the doctors
Go to the pub
[E]Brandy and a Fosters"
Bottom of the barrel,
Bubbling like hops does
There's a bottom [Am]of

[Verse 4]
[E]the pile[G#aug]
[E]And the bottom of the pile is real gri[Caug]tty,
[Am]you [E]hear me?
The ma[C#m]jority [E]are [Am]at the bottom
That's the realest thing
So it's like, [C#m]doesn't matter
where you comin' [E]from cos
All around the [Am]world there's
a ghetto
All around the world there's a
slum
All around the [C#m]world there's
[E]a hood somewhere
All around the world there's
[Am]always the bottom

[Verse 5]
Electric gone, that's [E]calm though
[Am]Hearts too black like charcoal
[E]Man have been moving cargo
End this scene like Fargo
Take off your chin like Bravo
[Am]Man shout gang like [E]Kartel
Then get [Am]prang like heart felt
Then run off like, [E]"Ahh well"
Get beat up then they all talk
Fist fighting well it's just [Am]sport
Wait till the balls in my court my brudda
I just want a house and
a Porsche for [E]my mudda
Gates to the grounds,
Fountain with a giraffe
Black diamonds Granite floor
for the [Am]car park
Buttler's, milk and a Mars bar
First class well, thais class harder
[E]Jealousy doing better then my father
What ya saying,
what you're saying means nada
Circum[Am]stances I know my [E]actions
[Am]I've been attracted,
chasing mansions
[E]Charlie Manson, voice of a lea[G#aug]der
[Caug]You hate life, I[E] don't like it either
[Am]Sit in the pub Like a geezer
[E]I can't s[Am]mile like Lisa
Can't remember,
don't [E]smoke Amnesia
Every day I [G#aug]put more
money in the [E]metre
Gassed everyday I put [Am]more in than a litre
Mad what we'll pay,
no space for a breather
[E]419 transfers with Enoch
Workouts, yeah I had
scuffs on my Reeboks
Pick my feet up, [Am]Used to get beat up
Now I walk in New York and my feet up
Put [E]T in a Tea Cup
I'm not a mug you can dip Rich Tea on
Speak when spoken
mum said be gone
Wanna be [Am]bigger than
The Beatles
Look through the key hole [E]for that kilo
I ain't got kids I gotta feed though
I'm just a monkey sitting in a tree bro
[Am]Spend a monkey, monkey not me though
Said I'm gassed [E]up like Steve- O
We clash, villain and a hero
Sometimes I can't look past
my ego
Tell me what I need cause
I [Am]need yours
Tell me what you see cause
I see flaws
[E]Tell me what to eat cause
I eat yours
Tell me how to be me more
Like [Am]gorge, cause I'm so gorgeous
Bored boredom, getting
[E]Moreish
Toothache I'll take it out
I don't go to the dentist
'Cause I'm poor [Am]blood

[Verse 6]
[E]Doesn't matter where you're
[G#aug]comin' from
Right that [Am]culture,
there's gonna be a twist in that culture
There's gonna be a difference [E]and then be a different
personality from [G#aug]that comes from that[E] culture
And [Am]Thai's personality comes from the
[G#aug]grittiness of Northampton
How he grew up, where he grew up
[Am]But it also transcends
worldwide 'cause
[C#m]All around the world
[G#aug]there's a ghetto
All around the world there's a [E]slum
All [Am]around the world there's a
hood somewhere
All around the world there's
al[G#aug]ways the bottom
Like the bottom, the bottom
of [Am]the pile you get me
Like the people who are in the dirt, for real
