Alongside “All Day”, this is one of a pair of tracks crafted by John Cena alongside Wiz Khalifa specifically for the soundtrack for the upcoming WWE 2K15 video game. The song speaks about how the pair may have been told to slow things down, but their hardworking personalities ensure they keep going...
[Chorus: Wiz Khalifa]
They try to make me slow down, but I live with the brakes off (Brakes off, breaks off)
They tell me I should hold up (Hold up, hold up), but I live with the brakes off (Brakes off)
Brakes off (Brakes off), brakes off (Brakes off), brakes off (Brakes off)
And we goin' up, up, up, up
(Uh, uh, uh)
Brakes off (Brakes off), brakes off (Brakes off)
[Verse 1: Wiz Khalifa]
First place in the race
Either first or you're last, my foot stays on the gas
Floatin', ain't take much from out the class
Open the Forbes see a young nigga 'bout his
Hear people talking 'bout their dreams, he really livin' out his
They hatin' just to hate, but they don't really doubt it
My eyes stay on the prize
Told EI realized that love built this
So I'll be damned if you be fake, kill it
Put my all in, make 'em feel it
Show me them people who think it's bosses
I'll make them look like children
Top floor of the buildin', orderin' drinks, rollin' up
Planes all in the same, goes without sayin'
Y'all know the slang, no pain, no gain, let's get it
[Chorus: Wiz Khalifa]
They try to make me slow down, but I live with the brakes off (Brakes off, breaks off)
They tell me I should hold up (Hold up, hold up), but I live with the brakes off (Brakes off)
Brakes off (Brakes off), brakes off (Brakes off), brakes off (Brakes off)
And we goin' up, up, up, up
Brakes off (Brakes off), brakes off (Brakes off)
[Verse 2: John Cena]
I'm makin' ground mine, you takin' downtime
Every word is "hustle", the whole entire sound shine
Chasin' the finer things, shining like diamond rings
Gemstone flow, that's the clarity my rhymin' brings
Kid with the cold voice, I'm such a rogue choice
Tailored suit, pullin' up in that Rolls Royce
Drop-head coupe, suicide doors
Arrivin' like Sinatra, Louis Vuitton floors
I'm talkin' 'bout my shoes, I'm chalkin' up your crews
I'mma give away the end, partner y'all about to lose
That's just the way it goes, don't take it to heart, B
I say you're just a friend 'cause my biz is the marquee
[Bridge: Wiz Khalifa]
They try to make me slow down (Slow down, slow down)
Brakes off (Breaks off), brakes (Breaks off, breaks off)
They tell me I should hold up (Hold up, hold up)
Brakes off (Breaks off), brakes off (Breaks off)
They try to make me slow down (Slow down, slow down)
Brakes off (Breaks off), brakes off (Breaks off, breaks off)
They tell me I should hold up (Hold up, hold up)
Brakes off (Breaks off)
But I live with the brakes off (Breaks off, breaks off)
[Chorus: Wiz Khalifa]
They try to make me slow down (Slow down, slow down), but I live with the brakes off (Brakes off, breaks off)
They tell me I should hold up (Hold up, hold up), but I live with the brakes off (Brakes off)
Brakes off (Brakes off), brakes off (Brakes off), brakes off (Brakes off)
And we goin' up, up, up, up
Brakes off (Brakes off), brakes off (Brakes off)
