"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.
Fuck you, and your entire fucked up crew
I hate you and everything you do
Such a tough guy you bring your friends
One on one shit your depends
Ruined the scene with all this shit
Never shut up just deal with it
Die, die, die motherfucker
Go hang yourself, cocksucker
Bash your face in with a brick
Hope your fucking car drives off a cliff
House burns down while you're asleep
Take a big knife and stab it deep
Hope you die you piece of shit
Kill yourself please make it quick
Same old story same old tale
Assholes like you belong in jail
500 pounds and that's all you can do?
My mother hit me harder than you
I never talked shit I have the proof
You're too stupid to see the truth
Guess I'm too old for this shit
I'll hire some fucker to do the hit
Die, die, die motherfucker
It's your time to fry cocksucker
Force feed you some broken glass
Broken bottle up your ass
12 gauge blast right to your head
Skull fuck you after you're dead
Tied down and forced to plead
I'll laugh while I watch you bleed
Ready for more?
Die, die, die motherfucker
Go and fuck yourself cocksucker
Broken legs and broken back
I'll smile when I hear them crack
Pushed into a subway train
I'll get down and eat the brains
Let's give you a heart attack
Then I'll have the last laugh
I'll have the last laugh
I hate you and everything you do
Such a tough guy you bring your friends
One on one shit your depends
Ruined the scene with all this shit
Never shut up just deal with it
Die, die, die motherfucker
Go hang yourself, cocksucker
Bash your face in with a brick
Hope your fucking car drives off a cliff
House burns down while you're asleep
Take a big knife and stab it deep
Hope you die you piece of shit
Kill yourself please make it quick
Same old story same old tale
Assholes like you belong in jail
500 pounds and that's all you can do?
My mother hit me harder than you
I never talked shit I have the proof
You're too stupid to see the truth
Guess I'm too old for this shit
I'll hire some fucker to do the hit
Die, die, die motherfucker
It's your time to fry cocksucker
Force feed you some broken glass
Broken bottle up your ass
12 gauge blast right to your head
Skull fuck you after you're dead
Tied down and forced to plead
I'll laugh while I watch you bleed
Ready for more?
Die, die, die motherfucker
Go and fuck yourself cocksucker
Broken legs and broken back
I'll smile when I hear them crack
Pushed into a subway train
I'll get down and eat the brains
Let's give you a heart attack
Then I'll have the last laugh
I'll have the last laugh

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
