A racing rap anthem about drag-racing culture, launch energy, and the short violent drama of the quarter mile.

Lyrics

[Intro] Rev it up—feel that steel heart pounding Smoke and fury on the horizon [Chorus] Burnouts smoking under the lights, quarter-mile in our sight Staged on the starting beam, we launch into the night Bracket calls our dial-in dreams, heads-up leads the fight Throttle open, nitro scream—feel the strip ignite [Verse 1] Mustang growlin’ like a beast off the chain From the Boss to the Shelby, pure octane Pony power runnin’ wild through the street Heart of Detroit, never faced defeat [Chorus] Burnouts smoking under the lights, quarter-mile in our sight Staged on the starting beam, we launch into the night [Verse 2] Camaro cuttin’ corners, lean and fast Z/28 got a bite that lasts Chevelle SS, pure muscle born Big block thunder from dusk till dawn [Chorus] Bracket calls our dial-in dreams, heads-up leads the fight Throttle open, nitro scream—feel the strip ignite [Verse 3] Challenger’s stance, wide and bold Charger roars like a legend retold SRT raised on nitro and pride Supercharged fury, Hellcat ride [Chorus] Burnouts smoking under the lights, quarter-mile in our sight Staged on the starting beam, we launch into the night Bracket calls our dial-in dreams, heads-up leads the fight Throttle open, nitro scream—feel the strip ignite [Verse 4] GTO lit the fuse, set the stage Road Runner ran with a coyote’s rage 442 kept it classy and loud GSX stood muscle-rich and proud [Final Chorus] Burnouts smoking under the lights, quarter-mile in our sight Staged on the starting beam, we launch into the night Bracket calls our dial-in dreams, heads-up leads the fight Throttle open, nitro scream—feel the strip ignite [Outro] Feel the strip, own the night, drive on forevermore…
