about

My friends and I love to dance, so I wanted to make a dance album. This is the start of it -- the single, "Gritty." I wrote this song from 9:10pm til 10:50pm in one night on May 10th, 2011.

lyrics

Gritty gritty gritty gritty
Gritty gritty gritty gritty

I’m gonna get, I’m gonna get
I’m gonna get gritty gritty
I’m gonna get, I’m gonna get
I’m gonna get gritty gritty

Don’t mind me when I can’t make up my mind
I’m not weighing my options just can’t handle the time
I broke my watch on purpose and I’d like to keep it that way
Don’t fix what I’m breaking, cause it won’t stay

Watch your feet and watch your back
I’m getting ready to make my attack
I drop beats like the weak drop bombs
So clap your hands if you wanna sing along

I’m gonna get, I’m gonna get, I’m gonna get gritty gritty
I’m gonna get, I’m gonna get, I’m gonna get gritty gritty
So hold your head, hold your head, I’m gonna get pretty pretty
Hold your head, hold your head, I’m gonna get pretty pretty
