Grace Ft. G-Eazy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't really need your assistance just don't wanna get off track
Tell me which direction is north
The suns setting in from behind me but I've gotten it wrong before
The desert seems lonelier
This sand hasn't been moved
Maybe by the wind in the winter
When Mother Nature had something to prove
Am I finally scared
Why doesn't this happen often enough
It hasn't been too rough I guess that I've just got to toughen up
I guess I've always been all talk
Act like I have this great independence
So it gives them nothing to mock
I found a penny heads up on the ground
I've always been a bit superstitious
Knocking on all the wood around
Destination seeming a little bit further
Or it's just lost in the fog
But there's a blue sky above me
Only my brain, the peak, all analog
What was that noise over there
Am I finally scared
Why doesn't this happen often enough
It hasn't been too rough guess I've got to toughen up
Take it one step at a time
And seemingly I'll be just fine
If you just walk a little bit slower
Look up eventually, it's only as hard as you make it out to be
What was that noise over there
Am I finally scared
Why doesn't this happen often enough
It hasn't been too rough guess I've got to toughen up
What was that noise over there
The song "Grace" by Grace Ft. G-Eazy talks about the struggles of navigating through life, the fear of the unknown, and the need for strength to persevere. The opening line, "Carry me on your back, I don't really need your assistance just don't wanna get off track" suggests a desire for guidance, but also a reluctance to rely solely on others.

The line "The desert seems lonelier, this sand hasn't been moved" highlights the emptiness and loss of direction, while also acknowledging the power of nature in shaping our lives, "Maybe by the wind in the winter when Mother Nature had something to prove." Additionally, the song talks about the fear of the unknown, the importance of taking things slow and one step at a time, and the need to toughen up.
In conclusion, "Grace" is a song about seeking guidance and the difficulty of navigating through life. It speaks to the fear of the unknown, and the importance of self-awareness and perseverance.

Carry me on your back
I don't really need your help, but I need your support to stay on track
Tell me which direction is north
I thought I knew where I was going, but now I'm lost and need some guidance
The desert seems lonelier
This barren landscape reminds me of my own feelings of isolation and emptiness
Maybe by the wind in the winter, When Mother Nature had something to prove
The only thing that has stirred this stagnant environment was an act of nature's strength and purpose
What was that noise over there, Am I finally scared
I'm on edge and question every sound, maybe it's time to confront my fears
It hasn't been too rough I guess that I've just got to toughen up
I may have thought my life was hard, but in comparison to others, I need to develop resilience
I found a penny heads up on the ground, I've always been a bit superstitious, Knocking on all the wood around
Small omens give me comfort, even if it's just for a moment of peace in my mind
Destination seeming a little bit further, Or it's just lost in the fog, But there's a blue sky above me, Only my brain, the peak, all analog
I can't quite see where I'm headed, but I know the possibilities are endless and I try to think positively
Take it one step at a time, And seemingly I'll be just fine
I remind myself to not get overwhelmed by the big picture, breaking it down into small steps can make everything manageable
If you just walk a little bit slower, Look up eventually, it's only as hard as you make it out to be
Time and perspective can change one's outlook on a situation, slowing down and enjoying the journey can make the obstacles seem smaller

You don't own me
I'm not just one of your many toys
You don't own me
Don't say I can't go with other boys
And don't tell me what to do
Don't tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display 'cause
You don't own me
Don't try to change me in any way
You don't own me
Don't tie me down 'cause I'd never stay
I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you
I'm young and I love to be young
I'm free and I love to be free
To live my life the way I want
To say and do whatever I please
And don't tell me what to do
Oh, don't tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display
I don't tell you what to say
Oh, don't tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you
I'm young and I love to be young
I'm free and I love to be free

It’s not a sample, Grace literally sings the song word for word. These are the lyrics to You Don’t Owe Me by Lesley Gore:
You don't own me
I'm not just one of your many toys
You don't own me
Don't say I can't go with other boys
And don't tell me what to do
Don't tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display 'cause
You don't own me
Don't try to change me in any way
You don't own me
Don't tie me down 'cause I'd never stay
I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you
I'm young and I love to be young
I'm free and I love to be free
To live my life the way I want
To say and do whatever I please
And don't tell me what to do
Oh, don't tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display
I don't tell you what to say
Oh, don't tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you
I'm young and I love to be young
I'm free and I love to be free”
The only thing different about it is G Eazy’s rap added in. Other than that it’s pretty much the same beat & she even sings it the exact same way Lesley did when she recorded it originally. It’s a cover.

You don't own me
You don't own me
Woah, let's go
But I'm Gerald and I can always have just what I want
She's that baddest I would love to flaunt
Take her shopping, you know Yves Saint Laurent
But nope, she ain't with it though
All because she got her own dough
Boss bossed if you don't know
She could never ever be a broke ho
You don't own me
I'm not just one of your many toys
You don't own me
Don't say I can't go with other boys
Don't tell me what to do
And don't tell me what to say
Please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display
You don't own me
Don't try to change me in any way
You don't own me
Don't tie me down cause I'd never stay
Don't tell me what to do
And don't tell me what to say
Please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display
Really though, honestly
I get bored of basic bitches
She's the baddest, straight up vicious, texting her asking her
If shes alone and if she'd sent some pictures, she said no (what)
Well goddamn, she said come over and see it for yourself
Never asking for your help, independent woman
She ain't for the shelf
No, she's the one
Smoke with her till the weed is gone
Stayin' up until we see the sun
Baddest ever, I swear she do it better than I've ever seen it done
Never borrow, she ain't ever loan
That's when she told me she ain't
Never ever ever ever gonna be owned
I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you
I'm young and I love to be young
I'm free and I love to be free
To live my life the way I want
To say and do whatever I please
You don't own me
@cicilg
For anyone who doesn't know this is a song from Leslie Gore in 1963. To sing these lyrics in 1963 must have been such a stand against the times. I find it so amazing.
@jammijam_
They did the original justice.
@tsemiu
First heard it in the movie The First Wives Club sung by Goldie Hawn, Bette Midler, and Diane Keaton
@olivia0G
exactly like why is no one giving leslie gore credit??
@tsemiu
@@olivia0G why would she need credit for this girls voice? She is miles ahead of Leslie gore lol
@tprepke
@@tsemiu even Grace herself would tell you that your comment is wrong on so many levels. Educate yourself as your ignorance is showing and it's not a good look for you.
@TheBrenda259
This song was so ahead of it’s time when written over 50 years ago.
@shannonbooker4925
@@musicfanboi No this song was originally created by Lesley Gore this song was created in 1963 this artist copied word for word just brought in Him to change it a bit. And she never gave credit for the song. Don’t believe me look up You don’t own me and it should bring up the original song and original artist.

@@shannonbooker4925 no the song was not created by her. she sung it. THE ONES WHO WROTE IS WERE CREDITED.
