Red, yellow, hit green, then go, breathe in slow

S.O.B.
You ain't never seen nothing so rugged at 90
Uh huh, with the cops behind me yo!
The boiler's grinding, keep the cuffs, enjoy your doughnuts sir, you ain't gonna find me
It's not likely, the brains is blown out
You're chasing a ghost with no brakes, slow down
Hundred proof octane, ready to drip it
Stop playing, I'm hot man, gimme that pink slip

Time's up, the animals crept through
Leave them in the dust with a packet of jet fuel
Too quick, eat 'em up, better for pet food
No brain, slow lane, missing your head screws
Skin and bones let mess with your chrome set
Tricked out, hopping like your cruse in a cold chest
Parked in eagle with a safety pin
Take the backseat, now let the games begin, yeah

Ha, get ready, get set, let's roll
Road warrior in a bit of petrol
Red, yellow, hit green, then go, breathe in slow

Shapeshifter
Come on man, you can't be real
I'll show you what it is, let the anthem build
Shapeshifter
Put the pedal to the metal and go

Tough match, you lost by a hubcap
The big boss spray painted on my mud flap
Get a rush, yeah we're calling your cold bluff
Can never get enough
Step in, hold your breath and hang tight
Known for the big dollar bet in the cage fight
You're playing with the sharks, step inside
Everybody on your mark, get set, now let's ride.

That's right, put the pedal to the metal and go
The yellow madellow with slicks on sending 'em home
Stick cars in the concrete, gripping the road
So quick, get in the palm trees, look out, whoa
We got car keys hooked to remote controls
Hit a button that'll smoke and they'll rip you off
I told you, I don't want to close your casket
Quit now before you go blowing a gasket.

Ha, get ready, get set, let's roll
Road warrior in a bit of petrol
Red, yellow, hit green, then go, breathe in slow

Shapeshifter
Come on man, you can't be real
I'll show you what it is, let the anthem build
Shapeshifter
Put the pedal to the metal and go

All things melting
While time is shifting
Transist, transform (out purposely)
Yielding, bending
While time is shifting
Two shapes they can't get straight

Get ready, get set, let's roll
Shapeshifter
Come on man, you can't be real
I'll show you what it is, let the anthem build
Shapeshifter
If you want it, come and let me know
I'm right here, put the pedal to the metal and go
Shapeshifter
Come on man, you can't be real
I'll show you what it is, let the anthem build
Shapeshifter
Put the pedal to the metal and go

    Song Meaning:guys why are you saying it's about race blah blah, of course we know it's about race, I want to know each stanza's meaning :(

    anyway here's some of the things I know

    Red, yellow, hit green, then go, breathe in slow < --- the traffic light duh

    S.O.B.
    ^-- he is style and beyond haha
    You ain't never seen nothing so rugged at 90
    ^-- he's running 90 miles per hour
    Uh huh, with the cops behind me yo!
    ^--- cops chasing him
    The boiler's grinding, keep the cuffs, enjoy your doughnuts sir, you ain't gonna find me
    ^--- he's fast enough to hide
    It's not likely, the brains is blown out
    ^-- it's not likely that he'll get caught, and maybe he's insulting cop's intelligence?
    You're chasing a ghost with no brakes, slow down
    ^-- the cops are chasing a thing that disappears and so fast like it doesn't use breaks
    Hundred proof octane, ready to drip it
    ^-- 100 octane, pure power gasoline
    Stop playing, I'm hot man, gimme that pink slip
    ^-- pink slip is like an approval that your vehicle is legal or something, actually I didn't got that

    Ha, get ready, get set, let's roll
    ^-- getting ready to roll
    Road warrior in a bit of petrol
    ^-- he's a warrior when he's on his car
    Red, yellow, hit green, then go, breathe in slow
    ^-- traffic light then go! (breathe in slow = preparing for the thrill)

    Shapeshifter
    ^-- I don't get this, maybe his vehicle looks innocent then become a race car unexpectedly? lol funny imagination I have

    Come on man, you can't be real
    ^-- underestimating his opponent?
    I'll show you what it is, let the anthem build
    ^-- he'll show you how to do racing right, then I don't know what let the anthem build means :|
    Shapeshifter
    Put the pedal to the metal and go
    ^-- Put the pedal to the metal and go means pressing the accelerator so hard that it reaches the metal surface on the bottom of it, meaning maximizing the acceleration (like pressing W so hard on the start of the race haha)

    General Comment:I think it's about a man who's escaping the law (the donut part is about the cops) and he just keeps on doing bad things. Fun things.
