[Intro]
Ten toes down, I remember every floor
Now the elevator opens when I walk through the door
[Verse 1]
I came up where the rent was late and hope stayed thin
Mama made a little stretch, I learned to make it win
Had a cracked-screen phone and a notebook full of plans
Now the same small hands got the world inside my hands
They counted me out, I counted every loss
Turned the hunger into hustle, turned the pain into a boss
No handout, no shortcut, no borrowed name
I put pressure on the page till the whole room knew my name
[Pre-Chorus]
I wore the struggle like armor, never begged for a crown
Every time they shut a door, I found another way around
Now the numbers keep climbing, hear the whole place shout
I was built from the bottom, look at me now
[Chorus]
Ten toes down, I fought my way out
From the cold little room to the top right now
Millionaire dreams, made them real somehow
They can see the proof, I’m the reason now
Ten toes down, never folded, never bowed
Put my whole life in the sound
From the trenches to the throne, say it loud
I’m finally here, and I’m not coming down
[Verse 2]
I know every kind of silence, every empty kitchen chair
Every promise that got broken, every “girl, life isn’t fair”
So I made a lane from nothing, put my heart behind the wheel
Now the checks clear in my name, but the scars still make it real
I don’t flex for validation, I invest it in the team
Bought my freedom one release at a time, then funded every dream
They hear a catchy record, I hear years inside the rhyme
Every bar a brick I carried, every hook a piece of mine
[Pre-Chorus]
I wore the struggle like armor, never begged for a crown
Every time they shut a door, I found another way around
Now the numbers keep climbing, hear the whole place shout
I was built from the bottom, look at me now
[Chorus]
Ten toes down, I fought my way out
From the cold little room to the top right now
Millionaire dreams, made them real somehow
They can see the proof, I’m the reason now
Ten toes down, never folded, never bowed
Put my whole life in the sound
From the trenches to the throne, say it loud
I’m finally here, and I’m not coming down
[Bridge]
If you’re stuck at the bottom, keep your name in your mouth
Keep your vision on the table, keep your foot on the route
Every no is just a toll, every bruise is a vow
You don’t need their permission when you know who you are now
[Final Chorus]
Ten toes down, I fought my way out
From the cold little room to the top right now
Millionaire dreams, made them real somehow
I turned every setback to a sold-out crowd
Ten toes down, never folded, never bowed
Put my whole life in the sound
From the trenches to the throne, say it loud
I’m finally here, and I’m not coming down
[Outro]
Ten toes down
Still me, just a bigger account
From the bottom to the crown
I’m finally here, and I’m not coming down
