"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.
We took the foes off the Chevy and we sat it those sixes (sixes)
Lipstick on them rims got them rims blowing kisses (kisses)
They know what it is
Y'all know what it is
He know what is is
She know what it is
Twenty rubber bands you could get your self a pigeon (pigeon)
Bring another ban get yourself a pound a midget (midget)
They know what it is
Y'all know what it is
He know what is is
She know what it is
On them 26s shirts on a 71 chevel
Like I'm riding carousel shorty I cant parallel,
They say shawty give em hell
Shorty I'ma give em hell,
Quarter milly worth her jewelry
Like that boy cant even care
Bout no money bout no hoe bout no car
Bout no clothe boy u better hold your nose
Cause im shitting on your nose
Keeps a Louie bag for what?
Bitch I been had swag, I got 50 thou'
Cash in a brown Kroger bag.
We took the foes off the Chevy and we sat it those sixes (sixes)
Lipstick on them rims got them rims blowing kisses (kisses)
They know what it is
Y'all know what it is
He know what is is
She know what it is
Twenty rubber bands you could get your self a pigeon (pigeon)
Bring another ban get yourself a pound a midget (midget)
They know what it is
Y'all know what it is
He know what is is
She know what it is
My chain is worth a mansion and my wrist is worth a lambo
But I'm living in a mansion and I'm riding in a lambo
Bunch a gangstas like sopranos white keys like pianos
And I'm looking for a bitch that wants to join me in a porno
Hello darling how ya doing that's yo man you need to lose him
He ain't doing what I'm doing my doors tall Patrick Ewing
Urkel purple pass the cushion straight from Oakland
It just flew in if I bust the package open you would think I started brewing
We took the foes off the Chevy and we sat it those sixes (sixes)
Lipstick on them rims got them rims blowing kisses (kisses)
They know what it is
Y'all know what it is
He know what is is
She know what it is
Twenty rubber bands you could get your self a pigeon (pigeon)
Bring another ban get yourself a pound a midget (midget)
They know what it is
Y'all know what it is
He know what is is
She know what it is
And its a trend you better follow money running like a lotto
Every bitch in here a model saying balling is my motto
That's the truth and you can swallow
What I said or take a hollow me I'm in that monte carlo
Zoe up in that murcielago
Lamborghini got these breezies tripping fiending
That they need me jus to see me or be wit me in
They vicky c bikini but I really ain't that needy
If you wanna kick it wit me grab that kush
And one them breezies pour a glass of that martini
We took the foes off the Chevy and we sat it those sixes (sixes)
Lipstick on them rims got them rims blowing kisses (kisses)
They know what it is
Y'all know what it is
He know what is is
She know what it is
Twenty rubber bands you could get your self a pigeon (pigeon)
Bring another ban get yourself a pound a midget (midget)
They know what it is
Y'all know what it is
He know what is is

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
