In the song entitled “Where Do I Even Start” Softheart reflects on the long road that his musical career has taken him on. Here, he acknowledges how much this has developed and details the journey overall.
Within this track, we can clearly see the mental burden that music has resulted in while reco...
[Intro]
Yeah, yeah
Hey
[Hook]
Yeah, yeah
Where do I even start?
Everything is just bizarre
They all live in a façade
Thought they left me in the dark
But we all were in the dark
Swear this shit really my heart
Don't wanna make this shit a job
[Verse 1]
Used to worry about the stats
I could check 'em but I really
Just don't give a fuck about that
More and more I think about the numbers on a track
The more and more I'm thinking that this shit is fucking wack
More I go outside and take a second to relax
Less and less I stress about the future or the past
I ain't eat scraps and I ain't 'bout to kiss no ass
If my shit is trash, fuck it, let this shit be trash
I was getting too attached
Wasn't stepping up to the task
I was walking with a mask
Damn, I feel so different now
Mostly tell, used to believe it
Just fucking indifferent now
It's just the safest to assume
You won't stick around
I'ma race off on a low tank
It's a face-off, not Travolta-Cage
All the shit that they talk
When it's not to my face
But when they talk to me it's lowercase
They all just turn out to be snakes
I don't wanna take it to the face
She said, "Heard you're doing good, that's great"
I'm think I'ma leave it up to fate
[Hook]
Yeah, yeah
Where do I even start?
Everything is just bizarre
They all live in a façade
Thought they left me in the dark
But we all were in the dark
Swear this shit really my heart
Don't wanna make this shit a job
[Verse 2]
I was running laps
Let 'em get all the attention
I'll just be off in the back
Almost quit but shit, it's
Gonna take a whole lot more than that
This my point of living
That's a motherfucking fact
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
And I'm best off
Won't settle for less, nah
I can't take a rest, dawg
I'ma scream my chest off
Always seem to mess up
Why am I always pissed off?
Couldn't be no less off
Couldn't be no less love
Ever since she fessed up
I'ma burn the rest up
'Cause I got all this pressure
Thinking about the past
Made me wanna blow my head off
So I don't think about it
Hit the road, yeah, I just head off
Yeah
[Bridge]
They not talking truth
That shit's a lie
It's a goddamn menace
Every time I spit a line
I'ma hit the clip
Right on mid high-rise
Lately, I've been trying
To enjoy the ride
I don't need the help
Been by myself this whole time
I can't work for someone else
I can't do no nine-to-five
Know anywhere else
I cannot survive
I cannot confide, baby
I can't be confined
[Outro]
And I still remember when I hit a thousand plays
Nothing felt as good, nothing felt as safe
And I still remember when I hit a 100k
Only thing I was thinking about was hitting 200k
Not tryna complain, fuckin' love how far I came
I know that it's coming even if it's coming late
Could've done without the fakes dawg, they'll drive me insane
Now I stay off in my own lane
