(Hook)

I can’t walk away
I can’t walk away
I can’t walk away
I can’t walk away

‘Cause I’ve come too far
I’ve come too far

No
I can’t run away
I can’t run away
I can’t run away
I can’t run away

‘Cause I’m still so far
I’m still so far

Verse 1

Defined Over Time is a mind over matter thing
This ain’t no casual thing
This is life or death from Saturday to Saturday
I’m working while you out at play
I’m grinding til I pass away
I’m trying to get like Cassisus Clay
-
‘Cause I’m one of my goals [is] to be one of the GOATS
So I’m running this road ‘til I’m running no more
Give a hundred percent, but I wanna do more
I don’t know what it is to be under control
-
‘Cause I’m out my mind, I’m losing it
I’m outta time, I’m losing it
Gotta lock and load, put the Ruger tip
To anybody’s head allowing you to quit
-
‘Cause we locked in and we WORKING
Even when they don’t see us working
‘Cause we don’t do it for credit, we know where we headed
The gold is won behind the curtain
-
So no time to slow it down,
You gonna hold me up or hold it down?
I know where I’m going now
Wish I knew back then all I know now

Bridge

Leave all of the past all in the past
No looking back, you gotta get past
No looking back, No looking back
No looking back, No looking back

‘Cause ...

(Hook)

I can’t walk away
I can’t walk away
I can’t walk away
I can’t walk away

‘Cause I’ve come too far
I’ve come too far

No
I can’t run away
I can’t run away
I can’t run away
I can’t run away

‘Cause I’m still so far
I’m still so far

Verse 2

Wish I could talk to the young me
Wish I could tell him be hungry
Wish I could go back and do everything over
Prevent it from getting too ugly
-
But time only moves one direction
The past is only good for reflection
You keep looking back through the looking glass
And all you looking at is regression
-
And that’s how the devil would have it
But I ain’t going back to old habits
God won’t let me be average
GOD WON’T LET ME BE AVERAGE
-
‘Cause I got too many big plans
Deal it and switch up the hands
We are not doing this dance
Can somebody come get their mans?
-
I’m putting it simply: You with me, [then] you with me
My tolerance empty for plotting against me
The old me is dead, but the new me is deadly
Gon’ have to try harder [if] you trying to end me
-
I ain’t turning back now
Wouldn’t even if I could
And Ima take my last breath
Before I ever leave for good

Bridge

Leave all of the past all in the past
No looking back, you gotta get past
No looking back, No looking back
No looking back, No looking back

‘Cause ...

(Hook)

I can’t walk away
I can’t walk away
I can’t walk away
I can’t walk away

‘Cause I’ve come too far
I’ve come too far

No
I can’t run away
I can’t run away
I can’t run away
I can’t run away

‘Cause I’m still so far
I’m still so far
