When you feel belittle

When you feel alone

When you feel disrespected

Just grut

When you want to be notice

When you want to be heard

When you want to be listen to

Just grut

When you got to be strong

When you got to be seen

When you got to do something

Just grut

When you feel a bit small

When you feel a bit curious

When you feel a bit unnoticed

Just grut

When you want to gain attention

When you want to be perceived

When you want to be tall

Just grut

And the world will lean your way

And the world will say your name

And the world will know your name

Just grut

And you will feel like a king

And you will feel pretty high

And you will smile with grace

That you got what you want

That you got that lean in

That you got that reply
