Okay. Focus. Speed. I am speed.
Racing day. Speed, agility, skill, reflex, and strategy were everything, especially in this race.
One winner, twelve losers. I eat losers for breakfast.
You had to be tough to even make it out alive in this race. As well as fed.
Breakfast. Man, I wish I'd gotten to have breakfast. A little could be good for me. Ugh! No, focus. Speed. I'm speed.
Someone knocked from outside the room where the racer was preparing.
"Yo, Ani! Time is money! Are you ready?" shouted a loud, bossy sounding male voice.
"Oh, yeah."
And here's where the rock music starts...
I'm American made, Bud Light, Chevrolet
My mama taught me wrong from right
I was born in the south
Sometimes I have a big mouth
When I see something that I don't like
Out from the trailer came a fancy-looking racing pod, and in that pod was a human driver. He was a very handsome young man with curly locks of sandy brown, gorgeous blue eyes and perfect teeth. His name was Anakin Skywalker, the Boonta Eve Cup's rookie sensation.
I gotta say it
We been driving this road
For a mightily long time
Payin' no mind to the signs
Well, this neighborhood's changed
It's all been rearranged
We left that change somewhere behind
Slow down, you're gonna crash
Baby you were screamin'
It's a blast, blast, blast
There were so many amazing looking pods, all of them ready to win and do whatever it took to do so, as in this particular race, anything goes. Anakin was no exception; he was ready to win, and he was a very skilled racer too. In fact, what made him so famous was that he was the only human who could race pods with such amazing reflexes, as well as get through unscathed.
Look out babe you got your blinders on
Everybody's lookin' for a way
To get real gone, real gone
Real gone
There's a new cat in town
He's got high paid friends
Thinks he's gonna change history
You think you know him so well
Yeah you think he's so swell
But he's just perpetuatin' prophecy
Come on now
Slow down, you're gonna crash
Baby you were screamin'
It's a blast, blast, blast
