Lyrics 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 hustlin'
Ten toes high, I stand tall, I'm never stumblin′

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 hustlin'
Ten toes high, I stand tall, I'm never stumblin′
Complainin′ 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 healin′
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, standin' 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 hustlin'
Ten toes high, I stand tall, I′m never stumblin′
Complainin' 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
