"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.
[Chorus x2 Ak 47/Yung Buck]
I got a problem with you bitches, and since I got a problem with you bitches
I'm about to handle nation business
Knock off the witness so he can't witness vicious attitudes
I'm fuckin at you dude I'm fuckin at you dude
[Belo Zero]
I'm about to snap and let my index work (my index work)
and gonna put no stain up on your forehead but instead its well'd up in your shirt
in the darkest alley niggaz put in work, with a jerk
and a nigga gone fall or back up cus we come with two chromes and act up

like nigga we ain't gonna fly for shit, and besides it get on some lethal shit
how many niggaz want a war when they know they fuckin people get
chief four dome smacked up tech nine the shoes will back up

[Chorus]
I'm fuckin at you dude, with the attitude of dynamite with fire at the fuse

that's under that ground world renound thunder,

so choose your meneuvers carefully bitch or loose it (why)

and you interveining with anything and nigga you can nice and execute it
so download and compute it and nigga we'll holla

[Chorus]
