I'm tellin' you now I don't care if it's a race, I'ma 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 before But now I figure, why not start? I figure why not start? Ayy 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 Everybody steady in my ear sayin' I should keep goin' Not realizin' that my hеart is torn Some days I wake up excitеd 'cause I know exactly what I'm doin' Other days, I still wish I wasn't born, mhmm 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 [Pre-chorus] 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 it's never too late That's why I'm tellin' you now I don't care if it's a race, I'ma 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 before But now I figure, why not start? I figure why not start? Ayy Safe to say I found my rhythm Don't you dare feel sorry for me, I am not a victim We got problems and we fix 'em It's just for me, music navigates the pain out my system Beatin' the odds, I love that If I ain't learnin' my lessons, then I mustn't have had enough yet And lord knows I can't be upset 'Cause every single time somebody tries to help, I change the subject Forced myself to goin' 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 it's never too late That's why I'm tellin' you now I don't care if it's a race, I'ma 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 before 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, I'ma 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 before But now I figure, why not start? I figure why not start? Ayy I don't care if it's a race, I'ma 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 before Now I figure, why not start? I figure why not start? I'm tellin' you now
