D. Shor - Ten Toes To The Ground lyrics

[Hook] All that glitters is not gold No gold is not reality Mama, real is what you lays on me funky sweater [Verse 1] Million dollar dreams of the million dollar b**hes This is my ambition for my n***as in the mission This my intermission, this my inner vision Addicted to the game, like b**hes and extensions Sometimes I like to blow trees with the OG's Reminisce about the oldies and b**hes that were homies n***as that would OD, when they on the codeine Ever since Michael Brown got k**ed in 2014 I ain't been the same man, amazing This life is like a journey I get lost in the maze and I'm like a caged bird, cause I get caged in I wanna shift the culture, just like a caveman I feel resurrected ever since the last tape The bad taste had me thinking that I need to pack weight To keep myself together and to keep myself afloat Looking at my rhymes reminisce on what I wrote What you gonna do when your game's too on But your pain's to strong, and they always tryna phase you son Better make you one, and I thank you God If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be here nah [Hook] [Verse 2] Playing all these mind games this my illusion f** the constitution and prison institutions This is just a great example of my disillusion And if you wanted peace, I'm sorry for intruding Shoutout to the single mothers, I feel ya pain I never been one but I know one who be in the game And who knew that she would raise up a genius And that's the perfect reason why single mothers are needed Looking at the black child whose father never claimed n***a you's a fake y'all the same DNA And that's the biggest reason why you be in the way When n***as selling d** instead of paying Sallie Mae As I say these words it's the realest sh** ever Tryna be clever, and keep myself together Worried bout the wrong things from diamonds to my cheddar n***as can't save man I don't know better Dead presidentials, pricey residentials Took a large toll on my physical and mental I'm not finna lie man my chain is just a rental If I bought a real one I wouldn't afford dental [Bridge] All the diamond rings, material things They don't mean a thing They don't count down to a thing (And I'm tellin you) All my way in gold And all I know, I know Are these things [Verse 3] This is not a rap this is poetry in motion Multiply, divide you will never find the quotient Mind's always closed this the first time it's open Always being real, never ever sugarcoating I believe in God, everybody got a purpose Whether that it's poetry or 9 to 5 working I'm just drowning, God help me to the surface I ain't ready to go like people when the church end Just a young kid with a dollar and a dream I be on the scene and it ain't what it seems I appeal to all the college kids and the fiends With the Cash Rules Everything Around Me C.R.E.A.M Praying for my city, praying for my city All these n***as shooting man this sh** ain't even pretty And the government, they don't wanna help They don't care about our health, why they always stay in stealth And I'm really praying that you know what I be saying Always on the run man I gotta start pacing Wonder what we talk about wonder what we making This is just my outlet Got let me make it [Hook X2]
