"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Big booty hoes, up wit it!
Hoochie mamas, up wit it!
Let me see ya touch the ground!
I don't know a reputation
But all the niggas in the hood say it's all good
But the bitch ain't shit though, you need to make a switch
Smackin' on ya lips with your hands on your hips
Triflin' slimy, don't try me
Playin' on the phone? You supposed to be grown
Bitch, stop lyin', I ain't with it
Keep runnin' ya mouth and I'mma stick my dick in it
Hoochie hoodrat needs home training
Ghetto-ass always complaining
Tryin' to clown in front of my friends
By the way, bitch, can I get those ends?
Fuck theatrics, you ain't no actress
Lay on the mattress and let a nigga splak it
The bitch is full of drama!
Hoochie hoodrat is a hoe like her momma!
She ain't nothin' but a hoochie mama!
(Hoodrat, hoodrat, hoochie mama!)
Yeah, she ain't nothin' but a hoochie mama!
(Hoodrat, hoodrat, hoochie mama!)
She ain't nothin' but a hoochie mama!
(Hoodrat, hoodrat, hoochie mama!)
Yeah, she ain't nothin' but a hoochie mama!
(Hoodrat, hoodrat, hoochie mama!)
Ho I love your big brown eyes
And the way you shake your thighs
Actin' like you're so damn cute
Let a real nigga just knock them boots
I don't need no confrontation
All I want is an ejaculation
'Cause I like them ghetto hoochies
Ones who like to pop that coochie
(Hoo wee) Miami style!
Makin niggas smile, bitch get wild
'Cause freaky shit is what I like
And I love to see two bitches dyke
My favorite time is 69
Bitch you know it's hoochie time
Fuck what you heard and save the drama
All I want is my hoochie mama!
You ain't nothin' but a hoochie ma-ma!
(Hoodrat, hoodrat, hoochie mama!)
You ain't nothin' but a hoochie ma-ma!
(Hoodrat, hoodrat, hoochie mama!)
You ain't nothin' but a hoochie ma-ma!
(Hoodrat, hoodrat, hoochie mama!)
You ain't nothin' but a hoochie ma-ma!
(Hoodrat, hoodrat, hoochie mama!)
Mama just don't understand
Why I love your hoochie ass
Sex is what I need you for
I got a good girl, but I need a whore
I like my bitch promiscuous
Hot in the ass and ready to fuck
Foreplay your way, our way, my way
Trick or freak, and I hit it on Friday
Girl, you know you look so cute
Ridin' 'round town in ya Daisey Dukes
Come on over for a visit
Let a nigga ride in ya Civic
'Cause I like them ghetto hoochies
One who got them big ol' booties
Save the drama for your mama
All I want is my hoochie mama
You ain't nothin' but a hoochie ma-ma!
(Hoodrat, hoodrat, hoochie mama!)
You ain't nothin' but a hoochie ma-ma!
(Hoodrat, hoodrat, hoochie mama!)
You ain't nothin' but a hoochie ma-ma!

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Well, obviously she ain't nothing but a hoochie mama (a hood rat, hood rat, hoochie mama).
