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 That was befo But now I figure why not start I figure why not start 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 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 Say it ain't so Barely even took the time to just stop and use my mind or try hard That was befo Now I figure why not start I figure why not start Aye
