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.
Me and Feadz on a mission
And we're starvin to fly
It's little Uffie of course
About to get buck wild
On this beat that you hear
It's a girl that you fear
And if you don't enjoy this shit,
You can get outta here
But yo one day you will see me
Beaking out in Miami
Doing X-rated shows
From Houston to St.Louis
Yo I'm a damn crazy brat
And i don't give a fuck
I got my man,my sound, my glass
And I'm ready to fuck
Iiii iiiii i i i I'm ready to fuck,I'm ready

Of course, iiiiiIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim uffie of course,
I'm uffie of course
No I don't belong here
And I'm free as a cop
Cause my parents ain't near
I'm unable to stop
Yo not owned by one nation
I'm the child of the world
See I got frustrations,
They about to be heard
See a trick that looks shiny
And all the guys getting horney
But this shit is so corney
Bitch ain't got nothing on me
Yea I used to be like that
But I upgraded my scale
All these girls are so whack,
Now its first class I hail
First class first class first class I hail, miami I

The people are looking
And the heads are turning
But what you see in the morning
Is that your coochie is burning
Yea you a pathetic whore,
Who always wanted more
But when he walks through the door,
Your knees drop to the floor
Now hoes got dreams aswell,
Tryin to make a pimp proud
It's a fantasy to sell
When your heads with the clouds
These ladies are pro actors
Got men thinking they above
But inside adding up factors
Thats why they get no love.
Tryin tryin tryin tryin to make a pimp proud,
Now hoes got
Dreams as well
trying to make a pimp proud,
Trying tryin tryin tryin
Tryin to make a pimp proud,
Hoes make a pimp make a pimp hoes
Make a pimp proud
And we're starvin to fly
It's little Uffie of course
About to get buck wild

It's a girl that you fear
And if you don't enjoy this shit,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
This song is super.
fucking awesome
Got men thinking they above But inside adding up factors
