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.
Whether you like it or not,he's back
D-A-double D-why Fat Sacks
Ridin' in the Cadillac
Beatin' like some beat it up
The game dun' changed Out-
Kast came to heat it up
Sharp as a tack like I just left church(clean)
Smart than a tack when the windows won't work(mean)
Ridin' in the Cadillac Beatin' like some beat it up
The game dun' changed Out,
Kast came to heat it up
And everybody wanna know was really goin' on
Is you and 3000 still makin' songs?
So on and so on
I can go o-on and o-on
And on,and on,and on
Hell yes!
Music make the world go round
Where it goes(where it goes)
Ya' just don't know(ya just don't know)
My heart is like a marching band
I'm a fan in the stands
Yes I am and I'm hollerin' hey baby
Saying hey baby
So baby please don't leave me
Don't you go(don't you go)
Baby no,no,no(baby no,no,no)
My heart is like a marching band
I'm a fan in the stands
Yes I am and I'm hollerin' hey baby
Saying hey baby
Two dope boys in the Cadillac still
'Kast, the crown on ya Cadillac Seville
I'll make your wheels of steel stand (still)
Like your DJ got killed
The fire marsh,
Fire Marshall
Shut'er down,time to go!
OutKast royalty by design of logo
Wanna count it out loud?
93, 94, 95, 96
Plus a dime,still that's fire
Hot like the perm on the back of ya neck
Left it in too long
Now ya got Cabbage Patch Silky
Ridin' the Cadillac
Beatin' like some beat it up
The game dun' changed Out,
Kast came to heat it up
Bendin' corners like a crowbar,oh so unique
Got the pedal to floor,but the 4 door just creeps
Ridin' in the Cadillac
Beatin like some beat it up
The game dun' changed Out,
Kast came to heat it up
Exotic,melodic melody jep,we got it
Funking for the funk of it and everybody want it

you make it make it put a dog on it
Music make the world go round
Where it goes(where it goes)
Ya' just don't know(ya just don't know)

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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."
a nice mix of rap and old time barber shop....very cool, wild, and for the most part positive
