  • I loved this whole album. This is my only and favorite Wyclef Album. There are a few other songs that I like, but not the whole albums. I would put this album in my top 100.

  • lovely video...!

  • just haerd this song and thought of Ryan Dunn so

    R.I.P. Ryan Dunn

  • Paul Simon....enough said

  • Eduardo O'Neal is Wyclef Jean.

  • why is their 2 videos to this song?

  • I hope people understand the message trough this song

  • rip lefteye TLC 4eva (in lefteye voice)

  • dis iz sum tru shyt

  • i thought this song was incredible an never looked closer.......music

  • first reaction :) incredible

  • ilike ths song iht the bomb

  • this is amazing song! thanks Wyclef for remember about Left Eye :)

  • is this the actual music video?

  • 94 people are idiots....but thats out of 2,244,083 people, so the world's gonna be okay.

  • RIP -- Tupac, Biggie, Sean Bell, Lisa Left Eye Lopez and everyone else gone before there time.

  • This guy can sing to anything and it will still be great!!!!!

  • This should've been the original music video for the song, what a great song though

  • nappy roots - fast car

    tracy chapmen- fast car

  • this is a great song rest in peace howdy

  • I would like to point out the actual possibility that many of those dislikes were accidental. Out of the thousands of people trying to click like, a hundred could have accidentally clicked dislike.

    THERE IS HOPE.

  • WHO THE FCK DONT LIKE THE MESSAGE HE SENDIN TO PROPLR? fckin idots

  • Awesome video my friend! Thought for a while that this was an official clip hahah

  • If a fast car was in the video i would like this 2% more ...

  • I love this shit :D

  • Fuck wyclit.

  • @aaron0313 why the fuck would you say that. I mean really you don't have to like the song but at least get meaning of it. What music do you like to listen to hip-hop. Also you type of people are the scum bags of the earth. Get a heart before you reply back to me.

  • @FirstReconAirsoft64 I just think he has a funny name, that's all.

  • @aaron0313 so you said 'fuck wyclif' because he has a funny name??? Are You 8 years old?

  • @WhatsGoodNYUUKA No, I said fuck wyclit.

  • This song wakes people up

    

  • I give you props for the effort in the Fan vid yo. not many people put effort in stuff on here

  • i wanna hear some more soul music like this in hip hop

    the way it waz back in da day

    in mc hammer times

  • I just actually listened to this songs lyrics and realized he mentioned what happened to Left Eye and Sean Bell (R.i.P.)

    R.I.P to My GodFather, A Victim of a Police Chase, and My Big Cousin, killed by wreckless driver

  • RIP Bubba dis ta u cuz

  • I just got into a car accident on the 11th of Feburary, it was myself and two other friends, the experience was absolutely horrifying and for a while afterwards I couldn't even get myself to believe it happened. Fortunately everyone was okay but I can relate to this song so much more now. It can happen to anyone, you don't have to be special to lose your life, I am much more appreciative now.

  • Wyclef you're a great human being

  • rip lefteye (my first crush) i still miss u

  • For everyone who is judging others who dislike this song, remember: just because the song means something, does not mean that everyone will like it. It is a song, it is SUBJECTIVE to those who will enjoy its rhythmic tune. I would love to know someone who can listen to a terrible singer who has amazing lyrics, but the voice screeches.

    These commenters really need to get a hold of themselves.

  • @thepepsiest I completely agree with you but some people don't even regard the lyrics and make comments without listening to the lyrics. This really has an emotional tie with some people.

  • Download the audio from this song at thetunify doht cohm.

  • Love this song..Wyclef Jean is numero Uno..:-)

  • I got his album because of Sweetest Girl about 2 yrs ago and I'm just now realizing what great music is on that album

  • Classic tune :)

  • <3

  • This song is very popular in Romania.

  • @SparkySlow lol

  • gREAT jOINt!!

  • I feel sorry for those people who dislike the song... the really and truly dont get the message of the song....

  • @Grimjr75 I DO like this song very much and assume it's about dying but could be wrong - you could explain?

  • Comment removed

  • @anne43nl well Anne.. you really don't understand what i'm saying... I'm saying that I felt sorry for those people who CLICKED?! the dislike button... and yes i do love the song. Also I know what the song means... you just said it..

  • @Grimjr75 you're right dude ... they are just some idiots who don't know to recognize a good song and most importantly to respect an artist Wyclef Jean 4 EvA

  • @Grimjr75 the people who are disliking are prolly die hard tracy chapman fans. im not trying to be an ass i thought she was a man the first time i listened to it

  • @julian12345 ik.. ur not.. im still upset with dislikers tho

  • @Grimjr75 you pity people who don't share your taste in music?

  • @murtaent Are you stupid? Everyone has their own good taste in there on music. But Im saying is... song like this one sending an message to their fans, but the haters dont understand what people are comming from who lost theirs lives in the fast car. I know this isnt orginal song.. Like Juilian12345 said ''the people who are disliking are prolly die hard tracy chapman fans.'' But i think some of them dislikers dont like him period. At least respect the person.

  • tout haitian people around da world say yeaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • Wyclef isn't a sellout like all these other artist

  • I want my guitar to sound like his.. what kind of strings is he using or setup for that clanky tinky sound on his acoustic.

  • fcukin great..

    he is the only carribean boy i listen to ....

  • @rmsprs have u heard of richie spice?

  • luvin dis song!!.....xxx

  • nice music...

  • i don't like that he used the same title as a tracy chapman song. that one is legendary! well he isn't so bad but. even so.

  • this video talks about real ISH

  • this song is so good...alotta meaning and really catchy. wyclef is amazing..along with paul simon! :D

  • cool video

  • cool vider

  • Way better video than the official. The official sucks...

  • to me this song brings that feeling when you know your kids are out there, hoping the "fast car' doesn't take them from you...we have 5 kids in their 20's, and thank god they are all still here. But we have lost people along the way...from autos, drugs...my 24 year old son just lost a friend to a drug od last week......Wyclef is subtle and powerful with his message......you can tell his heart has been broken before from what "fast cars" have taken from him....

  • I love how this video has so many more hits than the official video. Really well done.

  • Jesus AIN'T around motherfucker. Put faith in yourself and stay true.

  • wycleft for president

    

  • Go for president!!!!

  • Great song but....."All blacks would get reparitions" THEY ALREADY HAVE!!!! I have black friends who have great jobs, and they agree. Seems the only ones who bitch are on welfare.....IJS

  • @nickn661 I guess you're considering our freedom as "reparations" because I haven't heard anything about America paying anybody for slavery. My family worked and fought very hard to get somewhere in this world without America's pity money. You seem like the type to say you have black "friends" but really aren't a true friend making a statement like this. Besides what does this song has to do with reparations?????

  • This dude has crazy talent. He is an icon. And his lyrics....A M A Z I N G

  • this song is the shit

  • faina piesa

  • @emi9212 o voce de roman....hehe....

  • i wonder if jesus is smiling or in tears right now u kno just with shit

  • Life resumes the receiver and the giver & choices consume the taker...an unfortunate fact!!

  • @mdeb85 It is paul simon. He collaborated with him.

  • i send lockerz invites

  • how could you not like this song!?

  • Please listen to the words and believe in them...

  • @JerksClassified wtf your a fag, jerking is the gayest shit ever, its already out and gone forever. pac and biggie will always be listened to because there fucking amazing unlike the New Fagz

  • @JerksClassified Don't ever listen to any form of rap ever again you dumbass just give up on it all you should listen to rave party music that seems like it could more your style

  • he's talking about life and death son you live in the fast lane and drive a fast car do you think you'll die slow? its such a beautiful chorus though. it took me for ever what he was meaning when he said some of us bad boys and some of us are outlaws.

    r.i.p. biggie&pac

  • um this songs about drunk driving. It really couldn't be any more straight forward with the lyrics damn.

  • nah man, there's way more to it than that, though drunk driving is a part. "fast car" = death. focused on deaths that seem to centre mainly around vehicles. pedestrians, duis. i say this because left eye's death had nothing to do with drinking, and drive-bys are mentioned as well.

  • eh ya know what im sure your probobly right i was just readin lower on the comments and everyone was looken for some hidden meaning when it comes down to is it car accidents and its pretty obvious and the drunk driving i got from a few different parts like the bachleor party lyric

  • ahhh i hear ya man. gotcha, i agree. it's pretty clear, no hidden meaning

  • You don't gotta be no billionaire

    To get a ticket up to the moon

    We all know somebody up there

    You need a helpin hand, look up right here

    so right :')

  • what is wyclef metaphoring with the word fast car?

  • @TheKeithkwan I think is the death, who picks people up, and sends them to heaven. I'm not sure. Just my interpretation though.

  • that makes sense, thanks.

  • @TheKeithkwan i think he refers to the life

    you live it fast and then you die or something like that:)

  • subscribe to my channel 4 rap

  • 2pac the don to the end

  • Rest.. Steve Prefontaine

  • The other guy is Paul Simon.

  • R.I.P. James Dean.

  • when legends meet..

  • for anyone who has lost someone dear to a fast car - this beautiful song cuts so deep...

  • or maybe nearly lost him/herself to a fast car....

  • i love this song

    whats the name of the other guy on this song?

    his part is sick as well

    also i love the lupe fiasco remix to this

  • his name is paul simon

  • thankies

  • theres another video version for this song it has burnout paradise in it

  • wyclef is a freaken legend

  • his story is inspirational. great man. if you like this listen to his "sweetest girl" acoustic

  • he writes such inspirational music.

  • no.

  • I heard a man say Jesus Walks

    Me myself I heard Jesus talk

    Cause when I heard this beat I felt Jesus force.

    The way Wyclef has devoted himself to do something about the misery in Haiti is: Jesus force in action.

    little sister,

    xoxe

  • Now can someone tell me why this song didn't get as much radio play as let's say a Soulja Boy or Lil' Wayne song?

    Is it because it doesn't talk about smackin' them hoes and downing bottles of whiskey and vodka while driving your billion dollar cruise ship? All the while they have parties on it with money raining down from the ceiling and wearing your *bling* *bling* on your neck and teeth?

    Oh, wait. Just answered my own question.

    NEVERmind.....

  • true dat

  • hahaha agreed 100% my friend I hate the hip hop music today but Wyclef imo is incredible.

  • @BWaygal117 do u write this on every one of his videos lol

  • @BWaygal117 i agree dude, i hate that kind of music

  • @BWaygal117 totally agree with you

  • @BWaygal117 all about the money ... what evers good for business

  • @BWaygal117

    If you mean: co's this song make's you stand still and think about life and how fragile it can be... and thats not what ''they'' want , instead they want youth to think about getting rich or die tryin. then yeah you answered your own question. and i DO mind ...

  • @BWaygal117 ive been a wyclef fan since the early 90s... he went on howard stern last year and my love for the guy flew through the roof.. <3 Wyclef Jean

  • @BWaygal117 What's funny is, the song sung by Tracy Chapman was on the radio a lot and pretty famous, yet this song was almost not heard at all, what a shame. This song has such a strong message.
