Stax Records - Part 1


Some people you can’t even get through to...
Their attitude Is not like anything I'm used to...
They never seem to catch my drift...
All the negative vibes,  need to be pushed aside...
It's time to make amends, remember we're all friends...


Look at life through my eyes...
Don’t let good friendships fade away...
Think back to days gone past when all was  good... 
The times we shared were built to last on friendship, love and trust...


So get a grip, you don’t judge a man
By the way he rolls, or where he stands
You never know what his life before this moment holds
So get a grip, life’s not fair
Nobody needs your judgment...
How dare you even try it from where you sit...


Times are different now, nothing’s the same
Not everyone’s chasing fortune and fame
We didn’t all have the life of dreams
Sad as it seems, some lived within our means...


Look at life from the outside...
Don’t let it all just fade...
The past is gone but the lesson stays...


So get a grip, you don’t judge a man
By the way he rolls, or where he stands
You never know what his life before this moment holds
So get a grip, life’s not fair
Nobody needs your judgment...
How dare you even try it from where you sit...

Break it down now


You think you’ve got it figured out
But you don’t know what I’ve been about
Scars and stories carved in my skin
I’m stronger now than I’ve ever been

 
So get a grip, you don’t judge a man
By the way he rolls, or where he stands
You never know what his life before this moment holds
So get a grip, life’s not fair
Nobody needs your judgment...
How dare you even try it from where you stand...


Get a grip... (yeah, get a grip)
Life ain’t fair... (but I don’t care)
Get a grip...
