So I don't pay attention to them dumb folk
Cause I'mma always be in first like the clutch broke

from Joell Ortiz – Battle Cry Lyrics on Rap Genius

Mr. Yaowa doesn’t listen to what haters/uninformed people say because he knows he’s a winner (First place)

The car analogy:
Clutch — Gear shifting device in manual vehicles
When broken, it can no longer shift to different gears, thus leaving it stuck at the 1st position.

It’s weird though, since the line before says he’s ‘Negative One’
