how come no one has commented this? Great song in my opinion. I think the "getaway car" is a metaphor for Aesop's rap career, a getaway from.. society perhaps? Heres a lyric that epitomizes for me what this song means:
"get your doors darkened by
the house of card carpenters who never
thought a slave could be a sparticus and
more, pencil sharpener with a resume for
the carnivores who take important conference
calls in corner office walls, still
a buck is a buck and he punch numbers"
~
And also, "how
you gonna pay the rent day job free? make
rap records, matter of fact, thanks, peace."
Showing how he'd rather be doing what he's doing now.
Anyway, however deep and personal these lyrics might be, everyone will have their own subjective interpretation of it. Its things like that which make me appreciate music. Regardless, I thought I should comment on this great song... and you should too
