Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah
North side, late shift
We made the long way count
[Verse 1]
Bus pass folded in the pocket of my coat
Cold hands, warm plans, every word I wrote
Mama kept the rent in a jar by the sink
I learned to move steady, learned to stop and think
No borrowed shine, no shortcut crown
Just a scuffed-up pair and a name held down
When the room went quiet, I still took my turn
Put a little more work in the bridges I burned
[Chorus]
Stand ten toes when the pressure comes through
Kept my word, kept my people in view
From the back of the line to the front of the room
We don't wait for a break—we make room
Stand ten toes, let the whole block know
Every mile got a mark, every seed got to grow
If you came from the dust with a plan in your hand
Say it loud: we are here, we still stand
[Verse 2]
Old sedan humming with the heat turned low
Maps on the dash where the county lines fold
My crew got skill, got patience, got nerve
Every small yes was a thing we earned
I seen big talk fade when the work got hard
Seen a good friend share his last bus card
So I carry that lesson wherever I land:
Keep your eyes on the goal, keep your heart with the fam
[Chorus]
Stand ten toes when the pressure comes through
Kept my word, kept my people in view
From the back of the line to the front of the room
We don't wait for a break—we make room
Stand ten toes, let the whole block know
Every mile got a mark, every seed got to grow
If you came from the dust with a plan in your hand
Say it loud: we are here, we still stand
[Bridge]
No gold road, no easy pass
Just one more day and a little more craft
When the door stayed shut, we built our own frame
Now the whole room remembers the name
[Final Chorus]
Stand ten toes when the pressure comes through
Kept my word, kept my people in view
From the back of the line to the front of the room
We don't wait for a break—we make room
Stand ten toes, let the whole block know
Every mile got a mark, every seed got to grow
If you came from the dust with a plan in your hand
Say it loud: we are here, we still stand
[Outro]
We are here
We still stand
Yeah
North side, late shift
We made the long way count
[Verse 1]
Bus pass folded in the pocket of my coat
Cold hands, warm plans, every word I wrote
Mama kept the rent in a jar by the sink
I learned to move steady, learned to stop and think
No borrowed shine, no shortcut crown
Just a scuffed-up pair and a name held down
When the room went quiet, I still took my turn
Put a little more work in the bridges I burned
[Chorus]
Stand ten toes when the pressure comes through
Kept my word, kept my people in view
From the back of the line to the front of the room
We don't wait for a break—we make room
Stand ten toes, let the whole block know
Every mile got a mark, every seed got to grow
If you came from the dust with a plan in your hand
Say it loud: we are here, we still stand
[Verse 2]
Old sedan humming with the heat turned low
Maps on the dash where the county lines fold
My crew got skill, got patience, got nerve
Every small yes was a thing we earned
I seen big talk fade when the work got hard
Seen a good friend share his last bus card
So I carry that lesson wherever I land:
Keep your eyes on the goal, keep your heart with the fam
[Chorus]
Stand ten toes when the pressure comes through
Kept my word, kept my people in view
From the back of the line to the front of the room
We don't wait for a break—we make room
Stand ten toes, let the whole block know
Every mile got a mark, every seed got to grow
If you came from the dust with a plan in your hand
Say it loud: we are here, we still stand
[Bridge]
No gold road, no easy pass
Just one more day and a little more craft
When the door stayed shut, we built our own frame
Now the whole room remembers the name
[Final Chorus]
Stand ten toes when the pressure comes through
Kept my word, kept my people in view
From the back of the line to the front of the room
We don't wait for a break—we make room
Stand ten toes, let the whole block know
Every mile got a mark, every seed got to grow
If you came from the dust with a plan in your hand
Say it loud: we are here, we still stand
[Outro]
We are here
We still stand
Style of Music
Hard-edged contemporary U.S. hip-hop, punchy half-time groove, thick 808 bass, crisp snare, tight ticking hi-hats, sparse minor-key piano stabs and gritty synth accents. Confident male rap delivery with clear rhythmic phrasing, controlled intensity, and a chantable hook. Verses stay lean and percussive; hook widens with stacked vocal doubles and heavier low end; polished, forceful mix.
