[Verse 1]
Out the gate, I'm gone
Late brake, then I swerve
White-knuckle on the wheel
Whole lane turnin' to a blur
Paint kiss on the curb
Back end dance, then I catch it
Mud on the tires, still fly
I don't tap out, I just patch it
Every loss got a lesson
Every scar got a map
I was born in the pressure
Still I never fold back
Crowd yell when I pass
Tail lights fade in the rain
If I hit that wall, I rebound
Come back meaner in the game
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that engine scream
I know what I am
Chasin' that line
With a full tank plan
If I slip, I slide
Then I find my grip
One more corner, one more try
I don't quit, I don't quit
[Chorus]
The L was never meant for me
The L was never meant for me
I take the bend, I take the heat
But I don't stay down, I don't stay down
The L was never meant for me
The L was never meant for me
If I spin out, I come back clean
I don't stay down, I don't stay down
[Verse 2]
Checkered flag in my sights
But I don't chase for applause
I was built in the hard turns
With the grit and the flaws
No map, just instinct
No fear in the smoke
When the road starts talking back
I answer with a yoke
Hands steady, eyes narrow
Heart loud, nerves cold
They said "slow down" to me
I said "watch me hold"
On the straight, I'm a missile
On the curve, I'm a blade
Every setback I swallow
Every setback gets repaid
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that engine scream
I know what I am
Chasin' that line
With a full tank plan
If I slip, I slide
Then I find my grip
One more corner, one more try
I don't quit, I don't quit
[Chorus]
The L was never meant for me
The L was never meant for me
I take the bend, I take the heat
But I don't stay down, I don't stay down
The L was never meant for me
The L was never meant for me
If I spin out, I come back clean
I don't stay down, I don't stay down
[Bridge]
When the track gets dark
And the crowd gone thin
I hear that doubt in the back of my head
Tryin' to drag me in
But I know my line
I know my name
Even if I wreck that dream
I'm racin' right back again
[Final Chorus]
The L was never meant for me
The L was never meant for me
I take the bend, I take the heat
But I don't stay down, I don't stay down
The L was never meant for me
The L was never meant for me
Flag or no flag, I keep my feet
I don't stay down, I don't stay down
