D.R. Nichols has integrated rap and narrative fiction to tell of a “demon” driver and his red sportscar.

“You hate me

You know you do

You’d blast me with rockets

Machine gun me to utter annihilation

Demand the fates pelt down fierce brimstone

If you could

If you could

Really,

If I would 

Let you catch me

Let you catch me

But you can’t

No, you can’t

No one

Nobody

Can ever catch me.

I’m uncatchable

I’m remarkable

I’m unbreakable

I’m unshakeable 

I’m unstable

The legendary

Terror of the road

Furious

Infuriating

Insulting

Fast driving Punk

I drive the Japanese sportscar

That bright red one with the big pipes

The one that cut you off

Darted in and out, back and forth

Lane to lane

All the same

Made you breathe my fumes

Made you listen to my Social Distortion tunes

You hate me

You know you do

You’d blast me with rockets

Machine gun me to utter annihilation

Demand the fates pelt down fierce brimstone

If you could

I do 90 in a 35 zone

Whiz through the orange cones

Like I own

The road

Endangering your stability

And tranquility

And equanimity

I pass where there is no lane

Squeeze in tight

I’m really insane

But it is my game

And here’s my name

The legendary

Terror of the road

Furious

Infuriating

Insulting

Fast driving Punk

I’m insane

I smoke my cigarettes

Blow my pipe

Throw out my trash

As I feel a need

All I care about is speed

Slow-moving old ladies

Who mind the rules

Go slow to save fuel

Use turn signals

Stop at the signs

Sluggish a full block before the yellow

Make me angry

Furious

I’m really insane

But it is my game

And here’s my name

The legendary

Terror of the road

Infuriating

Insulting

Fast driving Punk

You hate me

You know you do

You’d blast me with rockets

Machine gun me to utter annihilation

Demand the fates pelt down fierce brimstone

If you could

If you could

Really,

If I would 

Let you catch me

Let you catch me

But you can’t

No, you can’t

No one

Nobody

Can ever catch me."
