Grounded and Gone

I been folding for too long

Trying to fit in small

Smiling through the pressure

Like I don't feel it all

But my bones are learning

How to hold my own

I can hear a new me

In the way I walk home

Watch me change

By the hour

Soft to stone

Seed to flower

If I shake

Let me shake

I'm not breaking

I'm awake

Might get crazy

Might get free

Strongest version

Right in me

Grounded, unbothered

Head up high

I don't need permission

To become that guy (that guy)

I been taking hits

And still getting back up

Mud on my shoes

But I don't give it up

Every old opinion

Falls right through my hands

I am not a question

I am a stand

Watch me change

By the hour

Soft to stone

Seed to flower

If I shake

Let me shake

I'm not breaking

I'm awake

Might get crazy

Might get free

Strongest version

Right in me

Grounded, unbothered

Head up high

I don't need permission

To become that guy (that guy)

Let the old skin crack

Let the fear fall off

I was built for more

Than a quiet loss

Now I breathe like truth

Now I move like rain

I don't need to prove it

I can wear my name

Might get crazy

Might get free

Strongest version

Right in me

Grounded, unbothered

Head up high

I don't need permission

To become that guy (that guy)

Might get crazy

Might get free

I am what I said I'd be

Grounded, unbothered

Here I stand

Strongest version

Of who I am (who I am)
