"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.
The six ease out CD laced digital readout
No doubt cop glocks from the dread fuck the weedhouse
Yo elegance hate females with no intelligence
Embezzlement got big boys behind the metal fence
Merrill Lynch it's your life Crist alright
Vince on ice sex chicks all types
General status smoothness mixed with malice
Trips to Dallas built a pool in my palace
Who want what from more moneys I want a cut
Extortin' start from the corner step on us up
Sixty inch screen laserdisc with the beam
It's my life I'm holding the dice don't intervene
I send a team to smash out your whole plans
No cold hands liquid or hunger to hold grands
From state bids to large cats who lace cribs
It's Firm Biz, y'all know what time it is
I'm talking Firm Biz to you baby
(Firm, Firm Biz)
Talking bout the Firm, that is
(Firm, Firm Biz)
I'm talking Firm Biz to you baby
(Firm, Firm Biz)
Talking bout the Firm, that is that is
That is that is Firm Biz
Peep the stee, creepin with AZ
Be-12's crazy I ball with the firm's first lady
I brawl with those who hate me
Make me spray I all, hoping for the day I fall
Never that though Black 4 4's for fedz
Like Donnie Brascoe so peep the cappos
Who mack most splash it up with lactose
Pretty thug style, I blow you out slug style
Bent in the Caddy Coupe me and daddy duke
He schooled me on how to stand on my own two
He said, "Son it's all kinda shit you gon' go through
Either you gon' make it or you gon' fall too"
Now we headline tours remember me
I told you that the world was yours, married to the Firm laws
Esco bless flows y'all know me
Laced in the Sony Firm be the hottest click to blow G
I'm talking Firm Biz to you baby
(Firm, Firm Biz)
Talking bout the Firm, that is
(Firm, Firm Biz)
I'm talking Firm Biz to you baby
(Firm, Firm Biz)
Talking bout the Firm, that is that is
That is that is Firm Biz
My pops uesd to warn me never fall victim to the horny
Keep the pussy tight stay that bitch
If I'm gon' fuck lay that dick
Tony get him for his chips and pray he push a six
Now I got game to make the thuggish niggas scream my name
Hope the panties drop only if I cop
The baby blue drop gotta keep my wrist iced
The baddest bitch, yeah the sex is alright
Lace 'em all night going to the crib
Jumping out the range in the iceberg tights
Yeah, I know about the five and its one shut eye
360 wave spinning cat thinkin' he Nas
From now 'til the day we shinin' keep my diamond
Esco with me in the E reclining top dogs
The illest duo since the Boss name was Hugo
AZ Firm trio stay on the lee low
I'm talking Firm Biz to you baby
(Firm, Firm Biz)
Talking bout the Firm, that is
(Firm, Firm Biz)
I'm talking Firm Biz to you baby
(Firm, Firm Biz)
Talking bout the Firm, that is that is
That is that is Firm Biz

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
