Standing Tall (feat. Adrian Marcel)

I be on my ten toes

One too many gone too far
From them days on the boulevard
Life already in a choke hold
Standing tall I'm on my ten toes
I done came so far can't believe it
I was in the dark couldn't see it (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I know I'm destined for the stars I'm tryna reach it

More money more problems they say
More change more influence that's what made me this way
House money just the fact that I'm here breaking barriers
Goals me and wifey die old let our kids bury us
House full of love is all you need whenever chips are down
Made one too many mistakes now isn't this profound
Shed so many personalities to find mine
I know if it's important you'll always find time
Between hatred and love it's such a fine line
Real friends show up on more than your time line
All you can ask is someones best nothing more nothing less
I just wanna do what's right with the time I got left
Tryna protect my happiness it's hard
Trying not to judge pick myself up when I fall
Tryna be what other people need me to be
Trying not to lose sight on what I need to be me

One too many gone too far
From them days on the boulevard
Life already in a choke hold (Ahhh yeah)
Standing tall I'm on my ten toes
I done came so far can't believe it (Ahhh)
I was in the dark couldn't see it (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I know I'm destined for the stars I'm tryna reach it

More money more problems so the saying goes
Avoiding responsibility is delaying growth
Crime pays but ain't no future in betraying folks
Keep your head up put in work whatever way it goes
All I know is better days is what we praying for
And on that note my family is what I'm playing for
Pay it forward like others did for my benefit
Considering
Barely walked the stage despite my penmanship
Between hatred and love it's such a fine line
Real friends show up on more than your time line
All you can ask is someones best nothing more nothing less
I just wanna do what's right with the time I got left
Tryna protect my happiness it's hard
Trying not to judge pick myself up when I fall
Tryna be what other people need me to be
Trying not to lose sight on what I need to be me

(Haa ahhh)
One too many gone too far
From them days on the boulevard
Life already in a choke hold (Ahhh yeah)
Standing tall I'm on my ten toes
I done came so far can't believe it (Ahhh)
I was in the dark couldn't see it (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I know I'm destined for the stars I'm tryna reach it

Only riding for my kinfolk (The one's that I ride)
The ones that I can lean on (The reason I slide)
Came a long way from them repos (Put them foreigns in drive)
From a child hood it was revoked (Child it was revoked)
Now that he done blessed me with the vision (Now that he done blessed me)
I can see the wins in the distance (I can see the wins)
They all took the exits god told me to miss it (God told me)
I don't ask no questions I stay on my mission (I stay on my mission)

One too many gone too far
From them days on the boulevard
Life already in a choke hold (Ahhh yeah)
Standing tall I'm on my ten toes
I done came so far can't believe it (Ahhh)
I was in the dark couldn't see it (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I know I'm destined for the stars I'm tryna reach it

I be on my mission (Ooooh)
One too many gone too far
From them days on the boulevard
Life already in a choke hold (Yeah)
Standing tall I'm on my ten toes

I be on my ten toes
I done came so far can't believe it (Ahhh)
I was in the dark couldn't see it (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I know I'm destined for the stars I'm tryna reach it
