Why Not Start

Say it ain't sooo-ouu-oh-ouu-oh

I'm tellin you now

I don't care if it's a race

Imma set my own pace

On my mark

Ready, set, go

I'm ashamed that I used to shift the blame when I hadn't done my part

Like, say it ain't so

Barely even took the time to just stop and use my mind or try hard

That was befo

But now I figure why not start

I figure why not start

Aye-ee-ee

The biggest smile on my face when I'm around

You can't really tell that I'm hurtin

Really do my best when out in public

Keep my head from tiltin down but deep inside I feel like a burden

Errbody steady in my ear sayin I should keep goin

Not realizing that my heart is torn

Some days I wake up excited cause I know exactly what I'm doin

Other days I still wish I wasn't born

Mmm-mm

But it's cool cause I've dealt with the pain

If I wasn't so solid then I would melt in the rain

And the cycles I was in ain't do nothin but just keep on repeatin so I felt insane

And I held tight to my selfish ways

Wouldn't seek help cause I would self medicate

But when you look at me just know that it's never too late

That's why I'm tellin you now

I don't care if it's a race

Imma set my own pace

On my mark. Ready, set, go

I'm ashamed that I used to shift the blame when I hadn't done my part

Like, say it ain't so

Barely even took the time to just stop and use my mind or try hard

That was befo

But now I figure why not start

I figure why not start

Aye-ee-ee

Safe to say I found my rhythm

Don't you dare feel sorry for me

I am not victim

We got problems and we fix 'em

It's just for me, music navigates the pain out my system

Beatin the odds: I luhh that

If I ain't learnin my lessons then I mustn't've had enough yet

And Lord knows I can't be upset

Cause err single time somebody tries to help I change the subject

Force myself to go it alone

I'm surprised I haven't broke any bones

Take it easy

They don't even need to see me like this

I hid myself at home

And I held tight to my selfish ways

Wouldn't seek help cause I would self medicate

But when you look at me just know that it's never too late

That's why I'm tellin you now

I don't care if it's a race

Imma set my own pace

On my mark

Ready, set, go

I'm ashamed that I used to shift the blame when I hadn't done my part

Like, say it ain't so

Barely even took the time to just stop and use my mind or try hard

But now I figure why not start

I figure why not start
