Lyrical Evaluation

The lyrics to TC-Wheres My Money are constantly repeated, there is not a standard structure to it. In the sense that you do not have the typical verse, chorus, verse, chorus. Most songs are sung in this context but not the track I have chosen. TC has made this particular song based around one main chorus. The lyrics themselves tell a short story about two men, where one owes another money. This almost comes across showing that one of the men is similar to a loan shark or an artist demanding money he is entitled to. Therefore the other man is contrasted as a victim of loaned money or a producer that is not keeping his end of the deal.

When listening to the track in full, this including the music and lyrics, the entire song comes across as a car chase within my mind. This is where my main idea of that car chase had originally came from. The force of the dubstep bass you get from the song enforces the initial idea that the chase has begun. This carries on through out the song with memory joggers of the phone call from the beginning of the song. Certain parts of the song are in fact slower in tempo than to other parts, indicating that the chase has slowed down or is just about to reach a massive climax.
