(Whoa)
Final lap I'm on top of the world
And I will never rest for second again!
One more time I have beaten them out
The scent of gasoline announces the end!
They all said I'd best give it up
What a fool to believe their lies!
Now they've fallen and I'm at the top
Are you ready now to die-ie-ie?!
I came up from the bottom, and into the top
For the first time I feel alive!
I can fly like an eagle, and strike like a hawk!
Do you think you can survive the top?
One more turn and I'll settle the score
A rubber fire screams into the night
Crash and burn is what you're gonna do
I am a master of the asphalt fight!
They all said I'd best give it up
What a fool to believe their lies!
Now they've fallen and I'm at the top
Are you ready now to die-ie-ie?!
I came up from the bottom, and into the top
For the first time I feel alive!
I can fly like an eagle, and strike like a hawk!
Do you think you can survive
I came up from the bottom, and into the top
For the first time I feel alive!
I can fly like an eagle, and strike like a hawk!
Do you think you can survive the top?
What were you thinking telling me to change my game?
That style wasn't going anywhere, it was kaputt!
Don't you see what I've done with this place? This whole thing?
Don't you see that I've changed the game? No! I am the game!
Before I knew where this was going I wouldn't listen to you
But right now I've distanced myself from whatever you have to say
I made this something way bigger than you were ever gonna be
I made it this far....and I'm taking it to the top
I came up from the bottom, and into the top
For the first time I feel alive!
I can fly like an eagle, and strike like a hawk!
Do you think you can survive
I came up from the bottom, and into the top
For the first time I feel alive!
I can fly like an eagle, and strike like a hawk!
Do you think you can survive the top?
I came up from the bottom, and into the top
For the first time I feel alive!
I can fly like an eagle, and strike like a hawk!
Do you think you can survive
I came up from the bottom, and into the top
For the first time I feel alive!
I can fly like an eagle, and strike like a hawk!
Do you think you can survive the top?
