Eighteen, failed dream Attracted to a bad scene Think I'll made a couple lemons Cataclysmic age to be When you're out of luck and your mother's in need I made my money for the crooks and pushers In the hopes that I got somethin' together for the night I'm going out For the night I'm going out
I'm only gettin' started Don't mean to be disheartened Felt like I've given up so many times before But I'm still here climbin' I'm only gettin' started Don't need to be disheartened Felt like I've given up so many times before But I'm still here grindin'
I came home and you were on the floor Floored by the letters and the council rigmarole What I wouldn't do to get you out this hole For tonight I gotta let go But tonight you gotta let me let go
I'm only gettin' started Don't mean to be disheartened Felt like I've given up so many times before But I'm still here climbin' I'm only gettin' started Don't need to be disheartened Felt like I've given up so many times before But I'm still here grindin'
I'm gettin' started Gettin' started I'm gettin' started I'm only gettin' started
I'm only gettin' started (I'm gettin' started) Don't mean to be disheartened (I'm gettin' started) Felt like I've given up so many times before (I'm gettin' started) But I'm still here climbin' (I'm gettin' started) I'm only gettin' started (I'm gettin' started) Don't mean to be disheartened (I'm gettin' started) Felt like I've given up so many times before (I'm gettin' started) But I'm still here grindin'
