## 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
