This ain’t for the money, this is for the love
This is sweatin’ through my shirt before the sun’s up
Thought that I was shook, thought that I would stop
And now I got ’em waitin’ for the other shoe to drop
Ooh, I’m a flame burning bold in a world that’s so cold
And I’m just Getting Started
I been makin’ moves before the dawn
Cuttin’ through the darkness
Pray nobody say or do me wrong
I’ll be the first shot heard
Make you run for cover
Take my word, I don’t wanna
Now I’m just Getting Started
And I can go on, and on, and on, and on, and on
I’ma drink from a winner cup, mixin’ hard work with beginner’s luck
If I fall first then lift me up never call curtains, common courtesy
Curiosity it killed the kitty but he got to work for me
Inadvertently I manifested something great
But it still don’t determine the fate
I’ma turn the tables from the cradle to the grave
Heavyweight leg day, steady pray
Heavy head, wear his crown way down every day
Here now, make a way, clear foul, lane change
Breakin’ out the crazy house or
Whatever them people was sayin’ ’bout me
Hit the leverage you not on my level, the engine is revvin’
I’m ready, I’m ready I swear you gon’ care about me
I’m just Getting Started
I been makin’ moves before the dawn
Cuttin’ through the darkness
Pray nobody say or do me wrong
I’ll be the first shot heard
Make you run for cover
Take my word, I don’t wanna
Now I’m just Getting Started
And I can go on, and on, and on, and on, and on
I can see the future, it ain’t no mystery
I’m on the throne, lookin’ down, makin’ history
While you was smellin’ roses I was puttin’ work in
I’m just Getting Started
I been makin’ moves before the dawn
Cuttin’ through the darkness
Pray nobody say or do me wrong
I’ll be the first shot heard
Make you run for cover
Take my word, I don’t wanna
Now I’m just Getting Started
And I can go on, and on, and on, and on, and on
