“Pedals Dance” is rapped over the Kalos cycling theme from Pokémon X and Y. The title is a pun on Petal Dance.
[Verse 1: Mat4yo]
It's easy cruisin' down, but it's hard to scale the slope
If you can't either rise or run, they'll make you hit the road
But if you wanna make these rusty chains disappear
Grab your life by the handlebars and shift gears
We hit the brakes when our feet move faster than our mouths
As technology grows, they try to slow us down
There's a speed limit drivin' on the pike
But the signs say I'm free when I'm ridin' on a bike
Within the confines of my mind, body, and spirit
I got great mileage and I'm steerin' towards that line where I can freewheel it
If you try interferin' with a game like time trial, speedin'
You'll see red, white, and blue in your rear view mirror
And those colors won't seem like freedom, no!
I'm ridin' on the real freeway
Ain't no leeway when I'm every rider in the relay
Hear that breeze say what they can't mark onto my gear:
"The images in my future may seem larger than they appear"
[Chorus: Mat4yo]
When I make these pedals dance, I don't need a second chance
I don't need a helpin' hand when my feet are never banned
With a helmet on my head and a handle on my plans
Let me take the wheel and I'll make these pedals dance
Circumventing any obstacles, circling cities
And even tropical islands anywhere possible cyclin'
I am nurturing brain children with every rotation
So come and roll with me across every nation
[Verse 2: Lyrical Gamer]
From the morning 'til the day's in
I'm never bein' patient, I'm never waitin'
Using transportation in every way that's amazin'
Soarin' through the clouds or swimmin' on the waves
And I've even caved in to being caved in
In a cave when my Pokémon didn't know the HM Strength
So now with a little bit of thinkin'
I think that I'll prefer that pavement
It's more than a hobby to me, using all of my body to lead
With no industry or team, whatever will ever be stoppin' me
So while I'm out here speedin' through regions livin' life with every chance
I got these people confused that I'm not confused when I make these pedals dance
[Verse 3: Mat4yo]
I'll be winnin' medals fast! I'm a champ! Call me Lance
I could meddle with metal and make things you can't understand
If a Miracle Cycle can purify and refine
It takes a single track ride to ditch a one track mind
I am number one runner, swimmer, and rad biker naturally
So don't try attackin' me! I'm a triathlete!
If it gets a little misty, it may dawn on you
Whatever makes you move, you don't want to electrocute!
[Verse 4: Mat4yo and Lyrical Gamer]
Tire treads on that stone cobble
With a lemonade in that cold bottle
I'll be speedin' like I'm at full throttle
Definition of a "roll" model
With the wind in my hair like I'm Pidgeotto
Look, no hands! Gotta eat that snow cone
Like Machamp in any dojo
I'm a champ on any road, whoa!
Double up your running shoes and shake up your soul!
If you lose your balance, you are the engine control
'Cause there's one people mover that lets each his own be judge
We're not running from something, we're just running to run
[Verse 5: Mat4yo and Lyrical Gamer]
I've got a motor mouth with a manual passion
Pushin' my natural maxim is my national anthem
One mind, one body, one captain in tandem
Saddle is fastened, tacklin' the most jagged of passes
I'll do a standing wheelie as an ode to gravity
I'll bunny hop like I rode into a masterpiece
I'll make an acrobat somethin' they come in crowds for
And it won't cost a million bucks!
That's somethin' I can vouch for!
Yup!
See the side of Cycling Road they didn't tell
Wavin' your flag depends on how it's differently spelled
Riddle me indifferently by givin' me hell
You'll see me rollin' by, ringin' that Liberty Bell
[Chorus: Mat4yo]
I make these pedals dance, I don't need a second chance
I don't need a helpin' hand when my feet are never banned
With a helmet on my head and a handle on my plans
Let me take the wheel and I'll make these pedals dance
Circumventing any obstacles, circling cities
And even tropical islands anywhere possible cyclin'
I am nurturing brain children with every rotation
So come and roll with me across every nation
[Outro: Mat4yo]
Transportation yields different modes
The methods which we deliver will lead us down new roads
Since we gotta ride the way it makes us feel
I'm not adding new spokes, I will reinvent the wheel
Roll along with me, we'll go global
You don't know how to bike, pick one up and I'll show you
Roll along with me, roll along with me
Take a roll with me...
