## Intro Cautiously thinking of the right words to say to myself I keep telling myself dude keep talking to yourself I'm going to label you 5150 cuz motherfucka you need some help Take the time to I don't know maybe think about yourself Stop getting caught up in the lies, drama and opinions of everyone else And like everyone else at least for a minute Yea, only think about yourself ## Chorus Get a grip, Couldn't even handle myself, bought some new ones now, rubber baby, Gotta protect myself, These days you don't know what gets under someone's skin Or who's been under their belt Spreading themselves like a fucking contagion Though they might feel that they mean well It's the false kindness that will get under your skin And start to penetrate your brain cells ## Verse 2 (Background vocals: *Find yourself, protect yourself*) Swear these streets got eyes watchin', demons plottin' Phone keep buzzin', toxic energy, I'm droppin' New opps pop up daily tryna drain my mental Fake friends smile in your face while they judgmental No cap, I'm done with all that noise inside my head Rather stack this bread, focus on my growth instead They call it crazy when you talk to your reflection But that mirror the only one that show true connection Straight facts, no printer—gotta move different When the whole click switched up, got me feelin' distant (Background vocals: *Move different, stay vigilant*) ## Bridge (Background vocals: *On my own, in my zone*) Had to cut 'em off, yeah Silent phone, peace of mind That's the real glow up, no lie Took some L's but now I'm learnin' Self-worth ain't for earnin' It's inside, just uncovered When the fake love's discovered ## Verse 3 (Background vocals: *Rise up, wise up*) On sight, they see me different, aura shifted Mind elevated, perspective lifted Bag secured while they still trippin' Boundaries set, no permission For the toxic in my system Deadass been through too much drama Trust my instincts like a comma Pause the bullshit, full stop Mental health the real flex, not frontin' on the 'Gram, no prop Self-talk hit different when you realize The enemy ain't always who you visualize Sometimes it's that voice that got you paralyzed Break them chains, recognize (Background vocals: *Recognize, realize*) ## Chorus Get a grip, Couldn't even handle myself, bought some new ones now, rubber baby, Gotta protect myself, These days you don't know what gets under someone's skin Or who exactly has been under their belt Spreading themselves like a fucking contagion Though they might feel that they mean well It's the false kindness that will get under your skin And start to penetrate your brain cells ## Outro (Background vocals: *Get a grip, protect yourself*) Found myself in the chaos Built myself from the pain Now I move with purpose Not for clout, not for fam
