[Title: Burning Octane]
[Intro]
Zero
Ninety-eight Mustang
NOS in the veins
Strip lights on
Let it scream
[Verse 1]
Zero had a ninety-eight Mustang beast
Chrome in the dark, heart off the leash
Every Friday night we were hunting the strip
Gas pedal down with the world in my grip
That was the place where I felt free
Just the road, the roar, and the monster in me
Streetlights flashing like a starting gun
Everybody lined up, but they all got run
Z28s came talking loud
Slow-ass Camaros trying to flex for the crowd
They pulled up proud, left looking sick
Found out quick that my Ford had bite in it
NOS in the trunk, fire in the line
Hit that switch and I bent space-time
Everybody wanted one shot, one try
Most went home asking themselves why
[Pre-Chorus]
I was young
I was fast
I was out of my mind
Rear tires smoking
Leaving ghosts behind
[Chorus]
Burning octane
Screaming through the night
Ninety-eight Mustang
Made me feel alive
Burning octane
Nothing touched my soul
Me and that car
We were losing control
I felt immortal
I felt untamed
Zero and the Mustang
Burning octane
[Verse 2]
Everybody had a story till the light went green
Then the truth came out in the space between
Engine screaming, pavement shaking
Whole damn town knew the throne was taken
I wasn’t just racing, I was running from pain
Running from the house, running wild through the rain
Every gear shift killed what I couldn’t say
Every mile burned another bad day away
That car knew secrets nobody else heard
Every broken thought, every ugly word
When life got heavy and my head got loud
I found peace in an exhaust cloud
Me and my Mustang, ruling the roads
Bad reputation with a nitrous soul
People saw metal, tires, and flame
I saw a best friend that knew my name
[Pre-Chorus]
I was young
I was free
I was king of the line
Tail lights talking
Like a warning sign
[Chorus]
Burning octane
Screaming through the night
Ninety-eight Mustang
Made me feel alive
Burning octane
Nothing touched my soul
Me and that car
We were losing control
I felt immortal
I felt untamed
Zero and the Mustang
Burning octane
[Breakdown]
Hit the switch
Let it breathe
NOS fire
Set me free
Ford heart
Street scars
Slow Zs
Seeing stars
Redline
White smoke
Big talk
Big joke
Step up
Get slain
Mustang blood
Burning octane
[Rap Bridge]
I remember that seat, that wheel, that dash
Every green light felt like cash
Every punk that pulled up trying to test
Left with regret riding deep in their chest
I was cocky, yeah, I earned that grin
Had the kind of car that made trouble begin
One hand shifting, one foot gone
Whole damn strip knew when Zero was on
But years went by and life got real
Had to let go of that steering wheel
Watched my freedom roll out of sight
Like a part of me left in the taillights
People say, “It’s just a car, move on”
But they don’t know what that thing had done
It held my rage, my pride, my scars
It was my best friend under the stars
[Final Chorus]
Burning octane
Screaming through the night
Ninety-eight Mustang
Made me feel alive
Burning octane
Nothing touched my soul
Me and that car
We were losing control
I felt immortal
I felt untamed
Zero and the Mustang
Burning octane
[Outro]
Ninety-eight Mustang
NOS in the veins
Years went by
Had to let you go
But I still hear you
When the night gets loud
Zero and the Mustang
Burning octane
