[Intro: Instrumental only — feedback, gritty guitar riff, drums crash in] [Verse 1 — Male vocals: Raspy, defiant] I sat around and talked a big game Same old shoes, same old name Waiting for a perfect day While my good intentions rotted away Then I put my feet on the floor Said I've had enough, no more I don't need to be a machine I just need to show up on the scene [Pre-Chorus — Male vocals: Building] I DON'T NEED TO FLY I DON'T NEED TO RUN I JUST NEED TO MOVE AND GET THIS DAMN THING DONE! [Chorus — Male vocals and gang shouts] NO EXCUSES LEFT! I've got a heartbeat in my chest! ONE MORE STEP! I'm giving what I've got, not less! NO EXCUSES LEFT! I ain't here to be the best! I'M HERE! I'M MOVING! AND I'M NOT DONE YET! [Verse 2 — Male vocals: Gritty, rhythmic] Five-point-five, the wheels roll on Five-point-seven, still going strong Not a sprint, not a race Just another minute I refuse to waste Sweat on my forehead, fire in my lungs A little more life in these old bones No magic trick, no easy way Just putting one foot down today [Pre-Chorus — Male vocals: Aggressive] I DON'T NEED TO FLY I DON'T NEED TO RUN I JUST NEED TO MOVE AND GET THIS DAMN THING DONE! [Chorus — Male vocals and gang shouts] NO EXCUSES LEFT! I've got a heartbeat in my chest! ONE MORE STEP! I'm giving what I've got, not less! NO EXCUSES LEFT! I ain't here to be the best! I'M HERE! I'M MOVING! AND I'M NOT DONE YET! [Bridge — Male vocals: Half-spoken over bass and drums] Maybe yesterday I stayed away Maybe last week slipped away But this is now And now is mine One more minute One more try! [Instrumental Break — Guitar solo, driving drums, gang shouts] HEY! HEY! KEEP IT MOVING! HEY! HEY! KEEP IMPROVING! [Final Chorus — Male vocals: Full-throated, anthemic] NO EXCUSES LEFT! I've got a heartbeat in my chest! ONE MORE STEP! I'M STRONGER THAN MY OLD REGRETS! NO EXCUSES LEFT! I'M STILL STANDING, STILL POSSESSED! I'M HERE! I'M MOVING! AND I'M NOT DONE YET! [Outro — Male vocals over repeated guitar riff] NOT DONE YET! NOT DONE YET! [Instrumental ending — Final guitar chord and drum crash]
