[Verse 1]

Eighteen, failed dream

Attracted to a bad scene

Think I'll make a couple errands

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 claw somethin' together for tonight

I'm going out

Oh, tonight I'm going out

[Chorus]

I'm only gettin' started

Don't mean to be disheartened

Felt like giving up so many times before

But I'm still here grinding

I'm only gettin' started

Don't need to be disheartened

Fеlt like giving up so many times beforе

But I'm still here grinding

[Verse 2]

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've gotta let go

But tonight you've gotta let me let go

[Chorus]

I'm only gettin' started

Don't mean to be disheartened

Felt like giving up so many times before

But I'm still here grinding

I'm only gettin' started

Don't mean to be disheartened

Felt like giving up so many times before

But I'm still here grinding

[Post-Chorus]

I'm gettin' started

Gettin' started

I'm gettin' started

I'm only gettin' started

[Chorus]

I'm only gettin' started (I'm gettin' started)

Don't mean to be disheartened (I'm gettin' started)

Felt like giving up so many times before (I'm gettin' started)

But I'm still here grinding (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 giving up so many times before (I'm gettin' started)

But I'm still here grinding
