Just Getting Started

They say when you reach a certain age, you’ve gotta settle down,

You’ve gotta change your ways. They won’t let you run wide open anymore.

They say, “You’re somebody’s daddy now, boy. Stop running your mouth.

Stop buying them toys.” They won’t let you run wide open anymore.

But I’m just getting started, so don’t try to count me out.

I’ll keep on fighting as long as there’s breath in my lungs.

I’m just getting started, so don’t try to count me out.

I’ll keep on fighting like I did when I was young.

They say, “Stop staying out late every night. You’re too old.

It don’t look right.” When you try to be yourself, it tears them up.

They say, “Stop getting that ink on your skin. You look like trash.

You’ll get fired again.” When you try to be yourself, it's never enough.

But I’m just getting started, so don’t try to count me out.

I’ll keep on fighting as long as there’s breath in my lungs.

I’m just getting started, so don’t try to count me out.

I’ll keep on fighting like I did when I was young.

I guess I’m not the man you thought I was.

I’m sorry I’m not the man you thought I was.

I’m never gonna be the man you thought I was.

But I’m just getting started, so don’t try to count me out.

I’ll keep on fighting as long as there’s breath in my lungs.

I’m just getting started, so don’t try to count me out.

I’ll keep on fighting like I did when I was young.
