Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Yeah, lost in the world
Like Siddhartha while I author these quotes
Cutting hoes like a varsity coach
Caught fire, no larceny
Please you gotta pardon these boasts
A lot of niggas pray to God that he choke
Never see the album drop
Fall off and be broke
Reminiscing on the hard times
So often he'd hope
To slip his foot in the door
Promise when I made it
I'd write my hooks for the poor
But now I'm hella faded
And got my foot to the floor
While I'm pushing this Porsche
Seem to be more concerned with how I look in The Source
Staring in the mirror just to see a look of remorse
Take a look at my chain
Look at what I became, mayne
You never had it easy, I know
But I still remember you
And what we used to say so
I say, this my song for you my friend
You can only see that I
Can hardly let things go, no, oh, yeah
So listen to the sound of my voice
You better send him all my love
He's given me no choice, no, no, no
Listen to the sound of the boys, huh
A raggamuffin is a freedom fighter
He's handling a choice
And I know that if
The raggamuffin is one of the friend
What you see is what you really get in the end
But what you're ever gonna, gonna do, I don't know
And the raggamuffin shall not fall down
Because he has the wisdom not to fool around
But why did you have to leave the good sense on the ground, yes
You never had it easy, I know
But I still remember you
And what we used to have so
I say, this my song for you my friend
You can only see that I
Will never forget ye-yes so
The raggamuffin is one of the friend
What you see is what you really get in the end
But what you're ever gonna, gonna do, I don't know
And the raggamuffin shall not fall down
Because he has the wisdom not to fool around
But why did you have to leave the good sense on the ground, yes
Yeah, that old me that you knew well is still in me
Somewhere, deep down there
Hiding in the corner is a nigga who cared
Believed he could change the world and he dared
Now he sits alone
Used to write poems but that's gone
It's been so long 'cause he's scared
The world ain't fair and I'm fully aware
When the revolution comes will I stare
Or will I ride
The raggamuffin is one of the friend
What you see is what you really get in the end
But what you're ever gonna, gonna do, I don't know
And the raggamuffin shall not fall down
Because he has the wisdom not to fool around

"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

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.
Sorry. I had a copy-paste incident. Here are the lyrics as stated on her website:
You never had it easy I know But I still remember you and what we used to say, so This my song for you my friend You can only see that I can hardly let things go, no oh yeah So listen to the sound of my voice, yo brother send him all my love He’s giving me no choice no no no Listen to the sound, yeah the boys: Raggamuffin is a freedom fighter, he’s handling a choice, and I know that
The raggamuffin is one of the friends, and what you see is what you really need in the end But what you ever gonna gonna do, I don’t know The raggamuffin shall not fall down, ‘cause he has the wisdom of not fooling around, But why then shove your good sense underground?
You never had it easy I know But I still remember you and what we used to have so This my song for you my friend You can only see that I Will never forget this
