LYRICS BELOW

// Intro

"crazy Kevin James speech greenelixr put in the intro lol"

// Verse 1

Fat pockets on my jeans
I got saggy pants
I ain’t messing with your flow 
Lemme divert that

Got a lot to prove
coming new to everything

I ain’t gonna hold it back
BITCH

Got em’ jumping for the stage I rock out for the show
Stepping with my dogs that’s how we doing Paw Patrol
uh
Stacking asset after asset, my portfolio
All this money rolling in, like it’s fucking dough
Damn
In the Kitchen, cooking up a master dish
Like the witches, mix it with elixir bitch
They throwing disses, baseball how I made a hit
Said his name was Vince
I ain’t ever know him since
uh

// Bridge

It just is what it is
It just is what it is (phewwww)
It just is what it is 
Said his name was Vince
I ain’t ever know him since

// Verse 2

Talladega how I’m racing round ya’ll on this track
I be speeding past, back to future on my dash
I ain’t riding waves, I’m the one that shook the ocean
Like I’m Issac Newton had to invent all my motion
Going psycho, psychiatric sent me to the slammer
I keep grinding, never sleeping I fight off the phantoms
Independent, I self-manage, keeping all my commas
Told the labels fuck themselves and send my fucking masters (FUCK EM)

// Hook 2x

Hit the gas uh, cutting through the drag
Dodge the pack, uh I ain’t never crash

In the dash uh, hunnid on the dash
She a racer way she giving lap

Let’s slow it down, know I made em’ real dizzy
Handle all my business, stayin’ real busy
Yo Shoutout Seattle I’m reppin’ my city
I’m counting that cash cause my state is forever green

// Verse 3

Like a vegan
I be underground so I’m rapping like a demon
4th Quarter clutch how I’m ending every season
Don’t try to cross me now, bitch that’s treason
Put the pedal to the medal
My success ain’t accidental
Forging bars out into metal
Spit so hard I need some dental
Drinking tea right out the kettle
Now my voice can hit the treble
All you boys are some in trouble
I’ma
I’ma

// Hook 2x

Front Row Motorsports Crew Chief Jon Leonard (7:45) join Davey Segal this week to discuss his new digs at FRM calling the shots for Chandler Smith on the No. 38. Leonard details how late things came together to even make the second FRM Truck Series entry happen, the thrash that ensued to get things ready for Daytona, why Chandler being involved in the hiring process for team members has made everyone closer and how nice it was to get a win early this season at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Leonard also discusses his career as a crew chief, calling races for Leavine-Family Racing in the Cup Series for Kasey Kahne and Regan Smith, being promoted admittedly a little too quickly, learning on the fly, being a first-generation racer turned 14-year NASCAR veteran and more.

Davey also reviews Austin Cindric’s Talladega win, looks ahead to Texas and Papa Segal pays homage to one of the greatest of all-time in Formula 1.
