It is a way of saying ‘take control’. In the way that if you grab hold of your boyfriend that way, you have control…

Cause the second line is, “And make it your bitch”…

It’s a rather uncouth modern version of carpe diem…

It’s a common saying, it just means cease the moment

  Grabbing it by the balls means taking control, just like if u grab a guy by the balls, u definitely have control then

  I play soccer and it’s not uncommon to get a ball blasted there. For a short time the world just ends

  But you have something that can be grabbed. Donald Trump has said it’s something he likes doing

Because typically if you have someone by the balls you can control them, hence it means taking control of your life.
