Gangsta's Paradise lyrics -- Coolio
I was wondering if anyone knew what the '10' means in 'ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye'? Someone suggested 10 fingers? Others suggested a 10 dollar bill? Any ideas? (see below)
Cheers,
N
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I take a look at my life and realize there's nuttin' left .
.
.
I'm a educated fool with money on my mind
Got my **10** in my hand and a gleam in my eye

He's referring to his 10-inch-long *****.
Hence the gleam in his eye.

Since money is mentioned in the previous line, I suspect it's a 10- dollar bill. I'm not aware that there's any idiom relating to 10 fingers..

[nq:1]Yep. It's so long that he suck himself off.[/nq]
Then lack of skill or coordination would explain the gleam in his eye.
