Artist: Jesse Abraham Album: Bars & NoBull Song: Just Gettin' Goin' Typed by: JesseAbraham212@gmail.com [Chorus] Started out as just another emcee Odds stacked against me Whole world against me Never gave up even though I been tempted But I'm too relentless Now they can't touch me, man I ain't never stopping I ain't never stopping Yeah I'm just getting goin I'm just getting goin See the way I feel? I don't hear 'em talking I'm Jesse Abraham I ain't Jesse Owens I'm not runnin' [Verse 1] So now it seems to denounce my dreams would be mature of me Childish shouts and screams are drowned out by doubt It's the surest thing Searchin' for certainty in my community such an absurdity Yearnin' for unity for you and me, that purity, immunity that beauty brings The truest thing I'm not new to this game I knew that listening was due to be missing in numerous ways So humor it stays There's no gloom No sooner it comes the sooner it leaves It's time, so let's recline Move forward don't press rewind No stress in mind We're all invited Yes we're all welcome So step inside [Chorus] Started out as just another emcee Odds stacked against me Whole world against me Never gave up even though I been tempted But I'm too relentless Now they can't touch me, man I ain't never stopping I ain't never stopping Yeah I'm just getting goin I'm just getting goin See the way I feel? I don't hear 'em talking I'm Jesse Abraham I ain't Jesse Owens I'm not runnin' [Verse 2] I learn a lesson ** But I will never lessen I listen and grow through practice If absence makes the heart grow fonder I must be pretty fond of wackness Yeah. So hear ye, hear ye I spit at half speed so you can hear me clearly Weirdly enough I was raised to believe that a promise is a promise Now my brain has to be Aware of the bluffs Prepared for the roughs that don't contain diamonds Just cuz I'm rhyming you think I'm bout to bust like a hymen When you apply pressure? Please. I know when you're lyin' All the time, man Wanna hear a joke? Listen carefully to every word you ever spoke I'm the Howard Roark of rap I'm sorry, find yourself another architect [Chorus] Started out as just another emcee Odds stacked against me Whole world against me Never gave up even though I been tempted But I'm too relentless Now they can't touch me, man I ain't never stopping I ain't never stopping Yeah I'm just getting goin I'm just getting goin See the way I feel? I don't hear 'em talking I'm Jesse Abraham I ain't Jesse Owens I'm not runnin' [Verse 3] So all of y'all disappear Every time you talk I hear you diss a peer Got me copywriting all the raps that I wrote Cuz I'm scared that you just gonna jack it like a coat I'm physically strong I'm fiscally strong Got bars like a penitentiary's where I'm from I was a dope emcee before I started rhyming I been an enigma wrapped up in a riddle Jewish On the roof isn't where I play my fiddle Foolish Your students are bored just starin' in classes You can't reach your pupils like you was wearin glasses People sayin what I wanna hear My laugh's a sarcastic onomonopia I live like I could die at any minute But I learn as if I'm eternal, infinite [Chorus] Started out as just another emcee Odds stacked against me Whole world against me Never gave up even though I been tempted But I'm too relentless Now they can't touch me, man I ain't never stopping I ain't never stopping Yeah I'm just getting goin I'm just getting goin See the way I feel? I don't hear 'em talking I'm Jesse Abraham I ain't Jesse Owens I'm not runnin'
