[Intro] Used to dream in a small back room Hand-me-down shoes, same old view Now the view from the plane brand new But I’m grounded with you (yeah) [Verse 1] Mama said “stay kind when you shine” You were there when the light wasn’t mine Back when all we had was our time Splitting fries, tryna stretch every dime Phone cracked, but you picked every call You were clappin’ when I played to the wall Now they shoutin’ every word in the hall You just laugh, say “you still might fall” [Chorus] I could have the world in my hands Still feel small if you’re not my plan All this gold don’t glow like your truth I’m grounded with you, grounded with you (yeah) I could see my name in the sky Still just me in your honest eyes If I ever lose what’s real, pull me through I’m grounded with you, grounded with you [Verse 2] Couple zeros on the check these days But you still roast me the same old way You still tell me when I’m out my lane Keep my head from floatin’ off in the fame Fans scream, but you talk in a hush Ask “you sleepin’? You been doin’ too much” Take my phone, say “enough, that’s enough” Throw a blanket on the back of the bus (yeah) You don’t care ‘bout the clothes or the stats You just ask, “did you call your dad back?” When I’m lost, tryna fit in this mask You remind me where I started at (started at) [Chorus] I could have the world in my hands Still feel small if you’re not my plan All this gold don’t glow like your truth I’m grounded with you, grounded with you (oh) I could see my name in the sky Still just me in your honest eyes If I ever lose what’s real, pull me through I’m grounded with you, grounded with you [Bridge] If I start changin’ my voice for the crowd If I start chasin’ the high, sinkin’ down Promise you’ll pull me aside, call me out (call me out) Say my full name like you do at the house If I forget where I’m from, what we climbed Talk to me like it’s 2009 Tell me, “boy, you ain’t bigger than life” You’re the mirror that keeps me in line (yeah) [Chorus] I could have the world in my hands Still feel small if you’re not my plan All this gold don’t glow like your truth I’m grounded with you, grounded with you (hey) I could see my name in the sky Still just me in your honest eyes If I ever lose what’s real, pull me through I’m grounded with you, grounded with you [Outro] Tour bus, same worn hoodie on me You say, “come sit, tell me what you need” I could have it all, still this stays true I’m only up high ‘cause I’m grounded with you (yeah)
