Gifted Hands - Why Not Start (Lyrics)

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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

[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

[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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

Some deep lyrics behind this one from Gifted Hands. Hope you all love it 🖤

[peterhernandez]

someone who is paralyzed and haven't moved my legs since 97. This song is so inspirational. I know he deals with a disability, but he is rising above it.

[brandongriffey]

Came here after seeing a 10 second clip on facebook. I'm glad I found this amazing song

[bostoncvgeneral]

I feel his pain. I can relate to all these lyrics. Suffering from addiction for 12 years make me feel not worthy, useless, like nothing. I've had clean time. But I'm in the process of starting over. I'm gonna set the race and go on my pace like he raps

No matter what darkness tries to engulf and surround us. There will always be a greater light to shine and uplift us all.

It’s touches home for many of us these last few years have shown some ugly things and a lot of hurt feelings the first time I heard this I cried it touched a sensitive part of me I hide from everyone ❤️😢

[daniellerobles]

I dunno how my eyes still open everyday the pain I wear and feel everyday . I'm on a fine line away from loosing the little I have. The things I prayed to God for . Thiers a huge hole in my heart and my brain feels numb ...I'm so numb to everything and everyone. I feel lost

[tizthelocsmith]
