If I lose, it was rigged, I'm the man if I win, before settlin' on a narrative, I took 'em all for a spin, On black ice, steering locked, driftin', Calm from the shock, oncomin' brights hot
On the windshield it's one particular raindrop... ⬇️
caught strugglin' in the incandescence, took my hands off the wheel and cut the engine.

"A Day In A Week In A Year" by billy woods.
Woods is playing a character who's basically a sore loser and a man unable to look unto himself truly, hence if he loses he blames it on the game and if he wins he takes the glory. By doing that, he removes all the risk from playing in terms of his own image, or so he thinks.
Then when he plays, he ends up on black ice, which results in him crashing and failing. During his fall, he notices a raindrop, which is a point of stability within the chaos.
"Took my hands of the wheel and cut off the engine" is a jarringly clever way to refer to suicide.
The man, still stuck in his ways, takes his own life yet tragically, doesn't actually learn from his mistakes.
