10 Toes High - Kamaiyah

To this life, I got accustomed, been through all the fuck-shit

Gotta keep it pushin', but that’s why I don’t trust shit

On my grind, I got right back into hustling

Ten toes high, I stand tall, I’m never stumbling

Always thought that I would make it, I just knew I would

Hustle harder and harder, patience, I just knew I could

Rap my ass off, nigga, it is true, I’m good

To be settlin', no, I am too high for it

I’m too high for that settling shit (Mm-hmm)

Yes, rap music, I’m peddling it (Mm-hmm)

I’m killin' hoes on some competitive shit (Mm-hmm)

West Coast culture, I’m embedded in it (Hmm)

And if you don’t respect my art, you don’t respect my heart (My heart)

In my career, I invest my all (My all)

Yes, it is true, you reject my calls (My calls)

Had the youngin' blues, I had to jet on my dawg

But I won’t let you kill my spirit

In my music, you gon' hear it

Won’t fade, I’m not disappearing

Put my pain all in my lyrics

To this life, I got accustomed, been through all the fuck-shit

Gotta keep it pushin', but that’s why I don’t trust shit

On my grind, I got right back into hustling

Ten toes high, I stand tall, I’m never stumbling

Complaining about my faults, it ain’t no good in that

Done been through it all, from the good and bad

When they push, I stand tall, I’m good at that

I knew this journey’d be hard, wish I would get mad

They wanna see me cry and break my spirit

So I stand high, point blank, period

The tears from my eyes just define I’m living

I push and I strive 'cause with time comes healing

I done been through it all, haven’t I?

(Mm-hmm)

Had my back against walls, still, I fight (Mm-hmm)

What kinda message I’m sending if I let them stop me livin'?

I’m ten toes down with it, standing high (Hmm)

It ain’t no such thing as family in business (Business)

You make choices, and folks in they feelings (Feelings)

They speak behind your back, ain’t no facts when you mad

And for that, I do not show forgiveness (No)

No, I won’t let you kill my soul

I go hard to reach my goals

My old friends can be my foes

I still stand tall up on ten toes

To this life, I got accustomed, been through all the fuck-shit

Gotta keep it pushin', but that’s why I don’t trust shit

On my grind, I got right back into hustling

Ten toes high, I stand tall, I’m never stumbling

Complaining about my faults, it ain’t no good in that

Done been through it all, from the good and bad

When they push, I stand tall, I’m good at that

I knew this journey’d be hard, wish I would get mad

When they push, I stand tall, I’m good at that

When they push, I stand tall, I’m good at that

I knew this journey’d be hard, wish I would get mad
