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
