[Intro] Midnight on the blacktop Engine ticking hot Spot's been set, the crew pulled up This is all I got [Verse 1] Pull up to the meet, hood down, headlights cut Quarter tank of gas but the boost is more than enough No pinks tonight, this ain't about the slip It's about the launch, the hook-up, the grip Tires warm from the burnout, rubber on the ground Smell it in the air 'fore you hear the sound Two lanes, no flagger, heads up, let's go You blink at the tree and you already too slow [Pre-Chorus] Rev it 'til the tach is screaming red Hands are locked, the nerves are dead Feet planted, back pressed to the seat Feel the engine rumble underneath the beat No second thoughts, no turning back Knuckles white, eyes down the track This is where the talk becomes the proof One run, one shot — [Chorus] JOYRIDE! Foot to the floor and the city's a blur JOYRIDE! Windows down, let the whole block hear the purr JOYRIDE! Trap speed climbing, I ain't lifting yet JOYRIDE! This the kind of high that you don't forget (Skrrt!) [Verse 2] Sleeper car, don't judge the paint What's under this hood'll make a grown man faint Six hundred horses and I built 'em all Dyno don't lie, and neither does the call He's on my right, thinks he's got the gap But I'm in the boost and I'm closing that trap Flash past the mark, hit a buck thirty clean Fastest thing on asphalt anybody's ever seen [Pre-Chorus] Shift, shift — the gears don't wait Adrenaline's a drug and I took the bait Streetlights streaking, everything's a line Sixty, eighty, hundred — I'm running out of signs The whole world narrows to a single lane Nothing but the road and the sound and the flame This is where the concrete meets the soul Full send — [Chorus] JOYRIDE! Foot to the floor and the city's a blur JOYRIDE! Windows down, let the whole block hear the purr JOYRIDE! Trap speed climbing, I ain't lifting yet JOYRIDE! This the kind of high that you don't forget (Let's go! Let's go!) [Bridge] See, they don't get it It was never about the speed It's the three a.m. silence on an empty road Just me and the machine and a need to breathe No trophies, no cameras, nobody watching Just headlights cutting through the dark And for sixty seconds on a stretch of nothing Every single thing that weighs me down Goes quiet [Build-up] [Verse 3] Heat showed up but we already rolled Spot went cold but the story's told Gap him by five, didn't even need the spray NOS in the trunk but I won it the hard way Cash days come and cash days go But the rep on these streets is the real bankroll They ask how I do it, how I got so fast I just smile and say "I built it to last" [Final Chorus — Full Send] JOYRIDE! Foot to the floor and the city's a blur JOYRIDE! Windows down, let the whole block hear the purr JOYRIDE! Trap speed climbing, I ain't lifting yet JOYRIDE! This the kind of high that you don't forget Burning through the lanes like I own the night Redline screaming but the engine won't choke Can't stop, won't stop, nothing left to prove Except that I was born to move JOYRIDE! (One more time!) JOYRIDE! (Yeah!) JOYRIDE! (Skrrt!) [Outro] [End]
