Once upon a time there was street racing...
The hated ones, the laughed at, the envied... The super cool in their own minds lurked about in the night, Nosferatu of the road. Finding the open pockets between the 5.0 rotation on midnight highways. Petal pumping piston hounds burning up as much petro as one moon would allow.
The true racers rolled with an understanding of the unwritten road code.
The true racers knew that life and death merge together at the 120MPH threshold.
Legends were made out of the dust, not out of the dollar.
A loss was a tip of the hat that only gamblers and fools fought over. The pain was dealt with in private, internally like the Sumerians.
...the smell of soft rubber burnouts,
...foggy nights down PCH highway,
...cutting the springs with bare knuckles till that shit was slammed,
...welding straight pipes and boring out the cat,
...ditching the ghetto bird and boning out to Denny's,
...sunrise showdowns after all the softies were already in bed,
...popping your hood was a rookie move,
...and video cameras at the racetrack??? Step to the car show already foo!
Memories written long ago in the pages of my mind now relived once again and burned onto the big screen for all those who have been waiting for something true.
Ten years of searching led me to a Producer who let me flow,
Cuz I didn't want to make another Hollywood show.
It's the real deal Holyfield
Street life been lived.
Just gimme a little more time to get to the finish line
And your reflection will be unveiled.
Maybe you got a few tickets.
Maybe the cops hijacked your shit and it took 7 bills$$$ to rescue your ride out from lockdown tow truck heaven.
I hear you brothers and sisters...
I just got over my third tour of duty on license suspension before filming this mutha and my license got jacked again after we got done. And everybody who knows the stress knows that shit ain't fun rolling around with no license and trying to keep it on the DL until 6 months passes.
I heard you long ago in the past life and then again in this one...
...And now I finally made it back to tell our story.
