The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Now lemme tell ya now
I came to bring the pain hardcore from the brain
Let's go inside my astral plane
Find out my mental, based on instrumental
Records, hey, so I can write monumental
Methods, I'm not the king but niggas is decaf
I stick 'em for the CREAM
Check it, just how deep can shit get, get deep as the abyss
And brothers is mad pissed, accept it
In your cross colored clothes you crossed over
Now you're totally crossed out and Kriss Kross
Who da boss, niggas get tossed to da side
And I'm the dark side I am the force of course
It's the Method (woo) from the Wu Tang (woo)
I'll be hectic and comin' for that head piece, protect it
Fuck it, two tears in a bucket
Niggas want the ruckus? Yo bust it at me son, now bust it
Styles, I get buck wild
Method (woo) on some shit
Fuckin' niggas foul son, I'm sick
Insane crazy, drivin' Miss Daisy
How the fuck am I? Now I got mine I'm Swayze
Is it real son, lemme know it's real son
If its really real son, lemme know it's real
Load it up and kill one
Load it up and kill one
Load it up and kill one
If it's really real
When I was a little stereo
I used to be the champion
Oh, oh, oh
I always wonder
When I will be the number one
Hey, hey, hey
And now you listen to me Darcon, Darcon
And all you niggas come and test me, test me
I'm gonna lick out your brains
Brothers want to hang with the Meth', bring a rope
'Cause the only way you hang is by the neck
Nigga pump off a set comin' through all your projects
Take it as a threat or better yet, it is a promise
Comin' from a vet on some old Vietnam shit
You can bet your bottom dollar that I'm on it
And it'll get even worse, word to God it's the Wu
Comin' through takin' niggas 'fore they're
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Movin' to your left
I came to represent and carve my name within your chest
You can come test, realize it's no contest, son
I'm the gun who won that old wild West
Quick on the draw with my hands on the floor
Lovin' all those goddamn monkey rhymes galore
Check it, 'cause I think not when this hip-hopslike proper
Rhymes be the proof when I'm drinkin' 90 proof vodka
No OJ, no, no straw
When you give it to me yeah, give it to me raw
I burn
Give it to me raw
I burn
Chest hairs
I don't need no chemical blow to pull no hoe, no
All I need is chemical bank to pay her up
Is it real son, lemme know it's real son
If its really real son, lemme know it's
1, 2, 3, 4
Kill one
Fuck it up and kill one
Fuck it up and kill one
Lemme know it's real
I came to bring the pain hardcore from the brain

"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.
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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Yeah this is a straight up cover of Meth's 'Bring Da Pain', the original is still quality... but MSI do what a COVER version or a remix of a song SHOULD sound like..
ok so method man is sayin no one else in rap is as real as him and jimmy says none of them are real at all $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I like Bring the Acapella. No music, just Jimmy's outstanding vocal range in all its glory.
this song took a heavy dose of MSI and came up sounding 100 times better than the orignal...I love this song...first song I ever heard from MSI...
This cover is a million times better than the original.
"I like Bring the Acapella. No music, just Jimmy's outstanding vocal range in all its glory. "
Oh yeah. God, I love his vocal range. From ear shattering operatic to really deep. He is really talented even though the entire band is literally a joke onstage and lyrically. They are my FAVORITE band. My friend met them twice and had Lyn-Z sign her cell phone and Kitty signed her arm. She also got a pic with Steve. I was SO jealous.
I can't wait for another album. After their current tour, I hear their gonna record a little bit more. Singles and shit.
Um, well I kind of was wondering about the meaning of this song. All I have heard was how great it is, but no meaning. I mean, I think that this song could easily be mistaken for, oh say, irritating an unhealing scar in American history and reinforcing such hatred in modern culture. To a fabulous beat of course. Sorry, I don't get the joke. Can someone explain?
This is a cover of a Method Man/Wu-Tang song.
This song is just so great!!! As with the rest of MSI's songs.
just heard about them... some weird music, cool tho.
i stole it... STOLE IT... and you cant have it back!!
