Ten Toes
Journey of Resilience: Ten Toes Through Life's Forest
Lyrics
Walking ten toes through the forest
Symbolic journey through challenges and obstacles ("forest").
I been in the fields with the flowers
Metaphor for experiencing life's beauty and hardships.
Im a florist
Identification as a creative person ("florist").
I be on road
Active participation in life ("on road").
I'm on tour
Engagement in a touring lifestyle.
Use to broke
Previous financial struggles ("Used to be broke").
Now I buy four or more
Current success and ability to afford luxuries.
Bricks
Persistence and determination represented by "bricks."
Written in stone I was destined to be this
Belief in a predetermined destiny.
I swear my parents knew this as fetus
Recognition of parental foresight before birth.
All the struggles they been through
Acknowledgment of parental struggles.
They named me Angelo cuz I'm wicked with the pencil
Embracing artistic talent and creativity.
My pops is a speaker
Father's role as a communicator or speaker.
My moms a believer
Mother's role as a believer in something.
My sister know it all you would think she a teacher
Sister's confident and knowledgeable demeanor.
I guess that's why I got up on this mic ima street preacher
Using music to share life lessons and experiences.
If you don't believe in yourself they won't believe in you either
Importance of self-belief for others to believe in you.
Big cuz taught me a lot
Learning from an older cousin ("Big cuz").
It really broke my heart the time he got locked
Emotional impact of the cousin's incarceration.
The time he sat down is when I tapped in
Personal growth following a challenging period.
I pray that I don't make the same mistakes that he did
Avoiding the mistakes of a family member.
Ten toes
Reiteration of the determination and commitment to success. Evolution from challenges, street life, and adversity to a more positive and purposeful existence.

-Now I'm bumping through your speakers
-Fake love you can keep it
-Vengeance is mine saith the lord still even the score
-I was in the void

-Still pack hollow tips but I ain't beefin
-Still got extended clips but I ain't reaching
-I just know that I'm here for a reason
