I know you don't understand

how could I spend 5 grand on a bike

You think that's absurd

but there's only one answer

and there's only one word:

It's performance

I don't think you understand,

riding with Connex is more than track stands.

I got a word of advice for all of you hipsters:

Go and get yourself some brakes and some shifters!

I drop 2 g's on my Dura-Ace,

Cat 1 race, I know I'm setting the pace.

My brakes are tuned up, I can stop on a dime.

When I'm in the pack I'm always holdin' my line.

My bike is so light and dialed in just right,

I got my seat raised to just the right height,

so I can pedal with efficiency, don't mess with my cadence,

I pedal to the beat.

How you think I made this?

It's all about performance.

That's the name of the game.

I pump up my tires and I oil my chain.

Performance

That's the name of the game.

And I always ride through the pain.

All these hipsters think they're so tricky with their messenger bag on their back on a fixie,

pedalling quickly down the hills,

don't blow out your knees and take a spill!

An anodized chain, cards in your spokes, how can you ride, your pants are a joke!?

You can barely get your hands on the handlebars,

Looking kind of shaky when you're weaving through cars.

You think it makes you look like a courier,

it really just makes you look girlier

Is that a steel frame from 1988? You might as well use it as an anchor weight!

It's all about performance.

That's the name of the game.

I pump up my tires and I oil my chain.

Performance

That's the name of the game.

Carbon fork, carbon stem, an aluminum frame!?

God, I gotta get a carbon frame!

24/7, I'm in nothing but spandex,

cutting through the wind 'cause I'm aerodynamic.

And when I slam it, it makes you look like a nerd,

now I'm beatin' uphills like my name was Eddy Merckx.

With my endurance, you don't stand a chance,

my cardio-vascular fitness level is right up there with Lance.

Doing what I can, just shave off a second,

I shave my legs, my girl, she doesn't get it.

I ambre-care my skin, but I'm never dopin',

electrolyte smoothies every morning for my focus.

I smoke my opponents any time anywhere,

you try to hang with me I'll have you pedalling squares!

It's all about performance.

That's the name of the game.

I pump up my tires and I oil my chain.

Performance

That's the name of the game.

And I never feel the pain.

It's all about performance.

That's the name of the game.

I pump up my tires and I oil my chain.

Performance

That's the name of the game.

And I always ride through the pain.

Do you have what it takes to ride a fixie?

Girlier,
