"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.
I hang wit pullers of automatic triggers and gold diggers
My mob?s full of go getters go live or die by the cold niggas
Wit drama bringers ear ringers and pistol slingers with itchy fingers
Getting high on inhaling nigga smoke that lingers
Buck wild hostile we verbal barrels threw nostrils
My hollow point apostles turn living flesh into fossils
It?s through gospel niggas will wet it Vick Malif?ll shred it
Beef on these streets only gets the best of you if you let it
Well it?s that Westside nigga from K-Town always gonna stay down
Lay pounds on the table, smoking while watchin' cable
I'm able to lick the shot from the porch of my block
And when the gun spray stops there's no information for cops
Nigga I'm heartless some say I role wit the forces of darkness
But the closest I burned to death is the reason
That I spark this spark this, what?
Dramafied premeditated homicide that coincides with the day you die
'Cause G, I'm about to let it ride
Petty niggas down when the bullets fly
No remorse your fuckin' wit a Mobsta
For fuckin' wit a Mobsta
If you got your shit right then run and hide
'Cause I got a slip quick clip on the side
For fuckin' wit a Mobsta
Petty niggas down when the bullets fly
No remorse your fuckin' wit a Mobsta
For fuckin' wit a Mobsta
If you got your shit right then run and hide
'Cause I got a slip quick clip on the side
For fuckin' wit a Mobsta
Fuck the car jack we do a body snatch
Tie niggas up in the trunk wit them rats like a mac for owning scratch
SpeedKnot?s unstoppable muderin' as many niggas as possible
Makin' heaven a hospital, and where I'm from it?s highly probable
In a Benny, reefa roller, street patroller stackin' clips for lethal loadin'
In the city where secrecy?s golden
Live or die in the Chi, we kill demeanors wit inferred beamers
Death is the sinner
Whether the Reaper awaits your fate with your soul on his finger
Nigga you can't retreat
When the Mobstaz greet you with bullets like Robert De Niro on Heat
And makin' killin' look sweet
See a nigga like Mayze break the safety I hold the clip ?till infinite
To show your definite when I make you cry
Blood like I broke your virginity
Shit my Mobstaz is straight cheat vs. killers for cash
Quick to stick your ass and flash this 3-80 and rainbow macs
And now you thinking of bringin' that bull shit in this direction
Just cause you rap a lot don't mean you can't get a lethal injection
Picture Link the mercenary fuckin' you like missionary
Position them missile carriers precision ?till them bitches buried
But a Mobstaz sip on Sherries snitch niggas sing like canaries
Where we wrong be carrying Clone Periyon and Herringbone
We on the streets in territory we chill come and get you chest pealed
Hot steal and banana clips standing on tip
You get your flesh filled wit rhinos
Energies feel for my soul they holdin' captive
Visions of living strengthy posses me lets make it happen
Petty niggas down when the bullets fly
No remorse your fuckin' wit a Mobsta
For fuckin' wit a Mobsta
If you got your shit right then run and hide
Cause I got a slip quick clip on the side
For fuckin' wit a Mobsta
Petty niggas down when the bullets fly
No remorse your fuckin wit a Mobsta
For fuckin' wit a Mobsta
If you got your shit right then run and hide
Cause I got a slip quick clip on the side
For fuckin' wit a Mobsta
Smokin' on sweet reef for the beat freak
'Cause it?s in the heat seaker of the street sweeper
Think I'm lying if you want shit is deadly as slugs
Got you swimming in the blood like sea creatures
'Cause you done lit to the land of the lost
Where our straps looking as pretty as bitches
But pullin' up in a hearse to a church
Is the curse of these hideous witches
Hittin' hoes wit, 44?s and four by fours wit the pain of a figure four
Wounds hit you like a hit will blow
Every nigga on this track I?ll pull a trigger for
If you test the rock vest, pullin' slugs like a lockness
I'm a for show protect my chest
Everything in holes is what I unload and not less
Until meals make progress
Why?all niggas no who why?all be never let me see your face in my spot
While you still be facin' your block I?ma be erasing you block
Snappin' off like Jason on rocks tastin' your knots
Cause when it?s pockets for profit I can't stop it this mob got me
If you ain't gonna pop it don't cock it
'Cause if we working you, ready to us carrying clips that's reversible
Takin' all our business personal diss
Wit a verse we all hurtin' you bull shit aside
Niggas is knowin' I fill another wit holes and not hide
Better role if not ride unless you hoes don't got pride
No remorse when your fuckin' wit a SpeedKnot Mobsta
Petty niggas down when the bullets fly
No remorse your fuckin' wit a Mobsta
For fuckin' wit a Mobsta
If you got your shit right then run and hide
'Cause I got a slip quick clip on the side and drop ya
For fuckin' wit a Mobsta
Petty niggas down when the bullets fly
No remorse your fuckin' wit a Mobsta
For fuckin' wit a Mobsta
If you got your shit right then run and hide
'Cause I got a slip quick clip on the side and drop ya
For fuckin' wit a Mobsta
My mob?s full of go getters go live or die by the cold niggas

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
