about

“Take It” is about grabbing life by the horns and taking what’s right there in front of you, making the most out of life, especially when coming out of a low place.

lyrics

Got my mind set on the world
Had enough of doing what I’m told
I was made to feel useless
Like all that I did was wrong

I believed all the things you said
The people close to you get into your head
Now I know to just get up, get up and go

So many times I thought you were right
But I guess I never knew

I can do anything I want and I don’t have to justify what I got
Had it all in the palm of my hands
Just had to take it, and make it my way

You call it love
I call it tough
Like my best just wasn’t enough
It was hard to be lifted, when being pulled to the ground

I believe in creating my luck
But that’s not the same as passing the buck
I can pull the pin any time when it’s so far in

So many times I thought you were right
But I get I never knew

I can do anything I want and I don’t have to justify what I got
Had it all in the palm of my hands
Just had to take it, just gotta’ take it, and make it my way

(music interlude)

I can do anything I want and I don’t have to justify what I got
Had it all in the palm of my hands
Just had to take it, just gotta’ take it, now I’m gonna’ take it

I can do anything I want and I don’t have to justify what I got
Had it all in the palm of my hands
Now I’m gonna take it, now I’m gonna take it, now I’m gonna’ take it
And make it my way!
