Get a Grip Guy

## 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
