Lyrical Analysis of...
Grit
- //Start 0:11//
- //Chorus//
- Yeah, it’s grit in my chest when the pressure gets tight
- Heart beating fast in the middle of the night
- Got a head full of static, yeah, the stress hits quick
- But I’m standing on my feet when the air gets thick (oh)
- Put me in the right zone, watch the whole switch flip
- I’m surviving, I’m thriving, never losing my grip (Yeah)
- No silver spoon, no struggle just to eat
- Just a regular kid learning how to beat the heat
- //Verse 1//
- Fourteen years old, pale skin, plain clothes
- Living average life where the quiet wind blows
- Got a roof over head and a family that cares
- Good people at the table, steady love everywhere
- Ain't claiming no streets, ain't faking no pain
- I don't lie about the mud just to sound insane
- But the war in my head is a different kind of fight
- Overthinking every word till I’m losing my sight
- Chest tightening up like a knot in a rope
- Racing thoughts in the dark trying to swallow my hope
- Got anxiety heavy like a brick on my back
- Every little expectation feels a heart attack
- //Chorus//
- Yeah, it’s grit in my chest when the pressure gets tight
- Heart beating fast in the middle of the night
- Got a head full of static, yeah, the stress hits quick
- But I’m standing on my feet when the air gets thick
- Put me in the right zone, watch the whole switch flip
- I’m surviving, I’m thriving, never losing my grip
- No silver spoon, no struggle just to eat
- Just a regular kid learning how to beat the heat
- //Verse 2//
- See, the hallway loud and the classroom cold
- Feeling fifty years tired when I’m fourteen years old
- Hands shaking in my hoodie, trying to keep my cool
- Playing normal every day just to get through school
- They don't see the static humming right behind my eyes
- All the panic in my stomach that I gotta disguise
- Not rich, not broke, just right in the middle
- Every big worry starts out feeling so little
- Till it snowballs fast and it’s hard to breathe
- And I’m looking for an exit just wishing to leave
- //Bridge//
- Then I step through the door to my real safe space
- With the people who get me, at my own real pace
- And the noise dies down, yeah, the clouds break clear
- All the weight in my chest starts to disappear
- I don't gotta pretend, I don't gotta hide
- Got the right kind of energy right by my side
- //Verse 3//
- Now I’m locked in, laughing, yeah, the vibe feels right
- Went from drowning in the dark to the brightest light
- Same kid, same blood, just a different scene
- Got my head in the game and my mind feels clean
- You can have good roots and still feel the strain
- You can have a good home and still fight your brain
- It takes grit to wake up when your nerves are fried
- And keep pushing till you find where you belong inside
- Now I’m thriving, I’m living, having a great time
- Turned a heavy kind of panic into rhythm and rhyme
- //Chorus//
- Yeah, it’s grit in my chest when the pressure gets tight
- Heart beating fast in the middle of the night
- Got a head full of static, yeah, the stress hits quick
- But I’m standing on my feet when the air gets thick
- Put me in the right zone, watch the whole switch flip
- I’m surviving, I’m thriving, never losing my grip
- No silver spoon, no struggle just to eat
- Just a regular kid learning how to beat the heat
