Story Behind The Song
Inspired by NASCAR. I saw an opportunity and a challenge to create a hip hop song surrounding the topic of NASCAR. I saw the similarities to drivers in NASCAR and my journey in the music business. It's hard to image how the two could compare but surprisingly they're close. Listen to the lyrics and visualize. Then you will understand.
Song Description
Success. Struggle. Music. NASCAR. This is the story of the mixing of all of them. The drivers train. The winners put in the hard work to get better. A split second could be the difference between winning and losing. Putting in the extra effort and sacrificing is needed to be the best. Not only in NASCAR but in everything. How bad do you want it? There will be defeats. They don't matter. It's what you do after the defeat. Get up and try harder. LETS RIDE.

Lyrics
Gentlemen start your engines
Thinkin' we're driving in circles
Or we're running in place
To you it seems so simple
But this is more than a race
Step into my ring
So you could feel my thirst
I take a hit and keep coming
Because I'm gunning for first
Let's ride
The loudest party on earth
We're outlaws since birth
Let's ride
That trophy is mine
Son step on a side
And let's ride
V1
Spent years for a split second
Spend a couple more, cause I ain't coming in second
The night you stop
To go to bed instead
Could be the reason you don't have a crown up on your head
You gotta want success
How you desire to breathe
The preacher said. It made me realize
that I'll bleed
Cause I believe
I sacrifice so I could achieve
If we ain't fightin for the same
Get the hell off my team. Leave
My passion is for winning the gold
Ain't no value in the others like an engine that's cold
So rev up. Turn up. We ready to go fast
Errbody wants first. The rest is just last
Thinkin' we're driving in circles
Or we're running in place
To you it seems so simple
But this is more than a race
Step into my ring
So you could feel my thirst
I take a hit and keep coming
Because I'm gunning for first
Let's ride
The loudest party on earth
We're outlaws since birth
Let's ride
That trophy is mine
Son step on a side
And let's ride
V2
They tried to stop me through sending out rejection letters
So I took it to the lab fought to get better
They said quit cause I'm running on a blind chase
And it's some tough competition driving
the same race
So why you want to play with a deck stacked to lose
Maybe your ego need to get a bruise. I choose. To reach the top. I cannot stop
I broke the brake pedal so I cannot stop
My heart above failure
My will never dies
I say I will while the rest of y'all try
Tryin to do this and tryin to do that
I'm never satisfied. Until my heart rate's flat
Thinkin' we're driving in circles
Or we're running in place
To you it seems so simple
But this is more than a race
Step into my ring
So you could feel my thirst
I take a hit and keep coming
Because I'm gunning for first
Let's ride
The loudest party on earth
We're outlaws since birth
Let's ride
That trophy is mine
Son step on a side
And let's
Adrenaline is flowing
Keeping me going
Crowd keep yelling
Confidence is swelling
Adrenaline is flowing
Keeping me going
Crowd keep yelling
Confidence is swelling
Im'a go hard
Until my story they're telling
Im'a go hard
Until my story they're telling
Im'a go hard
Until my story they're telling
Turn up...
It's a victory I'm smelling
Let's ride
The loudest party on earth
We're outlaws since birth
Let's ride
That trophy is mine
Son step on a side
And let's ride
