Get a Grip on It Video (MV)

I was living a fantasy somewhere deep in my mind
I don't know what clicked but something told me to define
Who I am, who I wanted to be, the secret talent that's inside
I was never the one to say the words that I was thinking
No, I never thought I'd be the one who started singing
This is all so new, I don't know what to do, but somehow, someway this feels right
I told my mama what she thinks and she said, "baby you should go for it"
"It's a good idea, I know it is"
I never knew that I could, but I knew that I should so I'll give everything I have to give
Just to get a grip
You know I gotta get a grip on it, bust a lick on it, I can't let this slip away
This is my shot, all the way to the top (NO) no I can't afford delay
You know I gotta get a grip on it, bust a lick on it, do whatever it takes
No I can't take a break, ain't no time for mistakes, I got to get a grip
And turn this dream into actuality
Fast forward to middle school I thought it'd happen fast
Talking all that music sitting back in science class
I was shy, no I'm not gonna lie, singing to people terrified me
So I gave it a chance and put my talents to the test
Sang in front of my friends, my teachers, classmates, and all the rest
It feels like it was a dream, it feels like it wasn't me, I've never felt so alive and free
I told my father what he thinks and he said, "boy you better go for it"
"These chances, no, they can't be missed"
Now I knew that I could, and I knew that I should so I'll give everything I have to give
Just to get a grip
You know I gotta get a grip on it, bust a lick on it, I can't let this slip away
This is my shot, all the way to the top (NO) no I can't afford delay
You know I gotta get a grip on it, bust a lick on it, do whatever it takes
No I can't take a break, ain't no time for mistakes, I got to get a grip
And turn this dream into actuality
I gotta take control over this feeling before it takes over me
But I've been living with it for so long what if it sabotaged my dream
It's a chance that I'll take, if it means that I'll break the chain and finally be free of it
(So I can get a grip on it and live the life that I was meant to live)
You know I gotta get a grip on it, bust a lick on it, I can't let this slip away
This is my shot, all the way to the top (NO) no I can't afford delay (you know I can't afford this delay)
You know I gotta get a grip on it, bust a lick on it, do whatever it takes (Imma do whatever it takes)
No I can't take a break, ain't no time for mistakes, I got to get a grip (no no)
And turn this dream into actuality (no no)
(I hope I make it, I hope I take it)
You know I gotta get a grip on it, bust a lick on it, I can't let this slip away
(All the way to the top)
This is my shot, all the way to the top (NO) no I can't afford delay (no don't make it stop)
You know I gotta get a grip on it, bust a lick on it, do whatever it takes (yeah yeah)
No I can't take a break, ain't no time for mistakes, I got to get a grip (no no)
