Fast Car by Tracy Chapman is a classic!

[Mupepe]

You got a fast car.  We go cruisin', entertain ourselves.  Still ain't got a job.  I work in the market as a checkout girl.  I know things will get better.  You'll find work and I'll get promoted.  And we'll move out of the shelter.  Buy a bigger house and move to the suburbs.  So remember when we were drivin', drivin in your car?  Speed so fast, felt like I was drunk. 

AND I, HAD A FEELING THAT I BELONGED.  I HAD A FEELING I COULD BE SOMEONE

:'(

Seriously dude, I HATE that song.

But you got a fast car, is fast enough so you can fly away?  We gotta make a decision.  Leave tonight or live and die this way.

You don't like black music though 

[MrAngryFace]

Haha what is 'black music'. I somehow doubt Tracy Chapman falls under the 'black music' label. Unless you just say that anyone who is black sings 'black music'.

Black music is pain music. This a song about a woman working at a convenience store who dreams of bigger things. Sure she drives a fast car, but that's not the point: she's poor. She quit school to take care of her father. And she has to deal with racist police officers who stop black people for no reason - white people drive fast cars all the time and don't get pulled over. But the po po sees a Nigerian Gary Coleman driving her fast car and pulls her over.

You can't understand that MAF!

But the point of the song is that the only thing he brings to the relationship is his "fast car."  At first it was exciting and it made her love him when she thought he could be so much more.  But when she figured out there's nothing beyond his "fast car", she wants him to leave.

I think you really missed the point of the song, PD.  lolz

[Phoenix Dark]

The point of the song is that Tracy Chapman is a poor black woman taken advantage of by men - her father and boyfriend - and desides to go on a crime spree in her fast car, which steals from her boyfriend.
