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.
Hey this is Willie Hutch, the mack
Gonna do a little somethin' somethin, with 3-6
Don't you get mad at me, cause your broad den chose a
Glad to see the truck when I pull up
Gon' pop the lock big botty hoppin' in now
Dark skin, gold teeth mann, you know we in now
I know that's your baby momma
I know that it hurts some
You know when we get together
I'm gon' let her twurk some
Let her hit the blunt some
No time of the month some
Pull out a condom
Then I make a run some
Freaky as she want to be
I'ma let her gonna be
She can be herself anytime that she get wit' me
Backseat action riverside relaxin'
Flick out the DVD that a** I'm waxin'
I'ma keep it real wit' cha
I'ma let her deal wit' cha
I don't fight over h*** I'ma let the steel hit cha
All on the town talkin' bad tryna down me
In your heart really sad boy you betta crown me
[Chorus:]
I, I choose you baby
Oh I, I choose you baby
You f***in' wit' my lut'
When you lay on yo' child support
She always give me half of that, on my car note
Hundred spoke rims sittin' slick on the Escalade
Couldna been the king of heart, mane, baby got me paid
First of the year tax time keep me wit' a smile
I'ma get a extra couple g's claimin' yo' child
Yeah that's why I know
This is the world that we living in
Don't get hot, stya about my game, and quit meddling
Pedalin' in these weed sacks
Nigga give me feedback
I don't need no stems, dog
You can get the seeds back
Always been a hustla
That's were s*** is diggin'
Do just like I tell her to
And wit' no reneggin'
Her lips and my brain
We can go a long way
On her arm my name
Got that for her birthday
I say that's the only way I gotta have it
Branded for life
All the a** I'ma grab it
[Chorus]
Gonna do a little somethin' somethin, with 3-6
Don't you get mad at me, cause your broad den chose a
Glad to see the truck when I pull up
Gon' pop the lock big botty hoppin' in now
Dark skin, gold teeth mann, you know we in now
I know that's your baby momma
I know that it hurts some
You know when we get together
I'm gon' let her twurk some
Let her hit the blunt some
No time of the month some
Pull out a condom
Then I make a run some
Freaky as she want to be
I'ma let her gonna be
She can be herself anytime that she get wit' me
Backseat action riverside relaxin'

I'ma keep it real wit' cha

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
