The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
No Limit
I'mma make y'all have it for a minute

[Hook x2]
Ooh ooh baby come on you can wobble wit it
Ooh ooh baby come on you can hustle wit it
Do the Beattown Mo, get cocky wit it
Put ya hands in the air don't stop wit it
[Master P]
They call me the Ghetto Bill got the keys to the city
Hit the club for the girls lookin pretty
Big butts with them little-bitty waist-es
Ghetto fab but looks just like a waitress
Rip on her name was Sonya
Roxanne, Monique I put it on ya
It ain't No Limit to the change I got
You see the Bentley on the 20's in the parking lot
[Krazy]
Hennessy and trees, that's all I need
Back it up, don't stop
Hit the floor, make it drop
[5th Ward Weebie]
Rock the boat, rock the boat, rock the boat, rock the boat

It goes left, right, left, right

[Chorus]
[5th Ward Weebie]

Move around and whistle
Twurk for that thing don't stop it till ya whistle
Make that thing whistle
Move around and whistle
Twurk for that thing don't stop it till ya whistle
Weebie ain't gonna stop cause I know what ya want
Put a hump in your back and lift your rump
Now bring it around the world won't you jump for me
Bounce bounce baby baby make it jump for me
Where your head go at when you want it from the back
Them No Limit Souljas got you shakin' it like that
You can dance if you wanna do it if you wanna
Move it in a circle and put that thing in the corner
Shake if you wanna shake shake baby
No Limit not givin you a break baby
Now make that thing whistle
Move around and whistle
Twurk for that thing don't stop it till ya whistle
Rock the boat, rock the boat, rock the boat, rock the boat

[Master P]
We all thugs but I ain't gonna hurt nobody
Make it shake girl work that body
I want one thick like Bubblicious
That can clean the house and do the dishes
I'm lookin for a girl that can twurk
A thug chick that can put in work
Handle business with a mini-skirt
Jump suave with a P. Miller purse
Handle business on the dance floor make it twurk
Drop it like a dog then make it jerk
If I was in it they'd call me Don Juan
Gettin' cash then chickens is no crime
VIP is Crys' and Moet
Still thuggin' T-shirts and sweats
Ice cube on my finger 10 karats
I can swing a bat and break a record like Barry
[5th Ward Weebie]
Now Rock the boat, rock the boat, rock the boat, rock the boat
rock the boat, rock the boat, rock the boat, rock the boat
It goes left, right, left, right
left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right
[Chorus]
Make that thing whistle
Move around and whistle
Twurk for that thing don't stop it till ya whistle
Make that thing whistle
Move around and whistle
Twurk for that thing don't stop it till ya whistle

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
