Performance

I know you don’t understand How could I spend 5 grand on a bike You think that’s absurd Well, there’s only one answer and there’s only one word It’s performance! I don’t think you understand Riding with finesse is more than trackstand I got a word of advice for all of you hipsters Go and get yourself some great set of shifters I dropped 2 G’s on my Dura Ace I caught one race and now I’m setting the pace My brakes are tuned up, I can stop on a dime When I’m in the pack I’m always holding a line My bike is so light and dialed in just right I’ve got my seat raised to just the right height So I can pedal with efficiency, don’t mess with my cadence I pedal to the beat, how you think I made this?

Cards in your spokes? How can you ride? Your pants are a joke. You can barely get your hands on you handlebars Looking kind of shaky when you’re weaving through cars You think it makes you look like a courier? It really just makes you look girlier Is that a steel frame from 1988? You might as well use it as an anchor weight It’s all about performance That’s the name of the game I pump up my tires and I oil my chain Performance, the name of the game Carbon fork, carbon stem, an aluminum frame... (God, I gotta get a carbon frame!) 24/7 I’m in nothing but spandex Cutting through the wind ’cause I’m aerodynamic And when I slam it, it makes you look inert Now I’m beating uphills like my name was Eddy Merckx With my endurance, you do
