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.
Yeah (yeah, yeah), there's a lot of fuck niggaz in the club tonight
(Fuck 'em, fuck 'em, fuck 'em) but it's gonna be 'aight (yeah, yeah, yeah)
'Cause me and my clique we don't give a fuck nigga (we don't give a fuck nigga)
Trick Daddy, Jim Johnson, Big D, Lil' Jon
Let's go, let's go
If you want it you can get it let me know (let me know)
I'm 'bout to fuck a nigga up
Let's go, let's go (let's go)
If you want it you can get it let me know (let me know)
I'm 'bout to fuck a nigga up, let's go
If you want some, come get some
'Cause where I'm from we tote big guns
And everybody know somebody that know somebody that know somethin' bout it
And I want answers now
Who, what, where, when and why?
See, a lot of dudes like to act a fool
And all get all loud but that ain't my style (what?)
Now, he who he gonna get and what he gonna do
Run up on me if he want to
Out there impressin' his homies
But he stood up in front of his momma
I mop up the flo' with him
And I kick in the door and let the .44 get him
I got fools that'll go get him
This for him, his crew and the dudes that run with him
Let's go, let's go
If you want it you can get it let me know (let me know)
I'm 'bout to fuck a nigga up
Let's go, let's go (let's go)
If you want it you can get it let me know (let me know)

Gotta spit it for the murderers and the killers and the thugsters
That be fuckin' up the ballers and the dealers and the hustlers
Got me comin' at you bogus in the V.I.
While they bumpin' Lil' Jon, I'ma brush ya
It's the psycho nigga Twista from Chicago
Rollin' with the Miami nigga, that'll crush ya
We already been lookin' for drama
If a nigga try to get into with us then we gotta get him
Feelin' fury from my tough shit, that can't never be true and no Penicillin
I'm tellin' you Trick, I'm fit to steal him
Got me swingin' Crissy and Hennessy bottles in the club
With my thug homies goin' for ya scrilla
Don't get it twisted with that, "Overnight Celebrity"
You better be scared of me, in my city I'm a killer
Let's go, let's go
If you want it you can get it let me know (let me know)
I'm 'bout to fuck a nigga up
Let's go, let's go (let's go)
If you want it you can get it let me know (let me know)
I'm 'bout to fuck a nigga up, let's go
I ain't that rappin' type alright
And I that actin' type alright
That soft ain't in my script
I'm a playa, you, you just a square
See, once that Hennessy into me
The whole industry is my enemy
If you ain't no kin to me or friend to me
Bitch, don't pretend to be (what?)
Yeah, I'm strictly for the thugs
I'm part of the streets and straight out the hood
Got moments ghetto
And I don't even needs the gats for you weasly cats
I'm straight out the county of Dade
3-0-5, nigga M-I-A
Never gone south of the border
America's most wanted, you gon' get slaughtered
Let's go, let's go
If you want it you can get it let me know (let me know)
I'm 'bout to fuck a nigga up
Let's go, let's go (let's go)
If you want it you can get it let me know (let me know)

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
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.
I agree with 'brainchild'. This is a fuckin travesty. This scum took Ozzy's "Crazy Train" and derailed it. Pisses me off... RAP SUCKS.
