Ten Toes

Yeah, I was cold, I was out here grindin'

Mama worryin', she was scared but I was risin'

Living life fast, trappin' on these streets

Tryna make it out, tryna get us what we need

Run these streets, hit licks, tryna make that cash

Mom was cryin', heart was breakin', wish I could go back

She was scared to look when she saw a cop

Heard gunshots, heart dropped, I was never gon' stop

In the back seat, gotta hide the heat

Pirex, baking soda, scales in her kitchen

She used to pray when I didn’t come home

Block was soaked, pain I ain’t showin’ on my own

Eyes bloodshot, I was out here clutchin'

Thinking 'bout the promise I was tryna build, no bluffin'

Always knew I’d end up in the game deep

Dreams of gettin’ rich, no sleep, just street

Mama cried, said I’m takin’ it too far

But I was chasin’ racks, reachin’ for the star

Now I look back, wish I could erase

All the pain, all the tears, all the mistakes I made

If I could turn back time, I’d change it all

Show her love, avoid the fall

Mama, I love you more than words could say

Wish I had a second chance today

I was out here grindin’, tryna make a way

Now I’m ten toes down, I pray

Hoping she can see the heart behind the pain

And that I love her, forever remain the same

Regret fills my soul, wish I could undo

All the nights I missed, all the pain I put her through

Now she’s gone, I’m left with memories deep

Hold her in my heart, her spirit I keep

Mama, this one’s for you, I hope you see

All the love, all the loyalty

From these streets to the heavens above

Forever your son, forever your love
