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.
Zone 4
Get money
New money
It's what you been waiting on
Rich boy sellin' crack
Dope niggas wanna jack
Shit tight no slack
Just bought a cadillac (throw some d's on that bitch!)
Just bought a cadillac (throw some d's on that bitch!)
Just bought a cadillac
Rich boy sellin' crack
Dope niggas wanna jack
Shit tight no slack
Just bought a cadillac (throw some d's on that bitch!)
Just bought a cadillac (throw some d's on that bitch!)
Just bought a cadillac
Rich boy sellin' crack fuck niggas wanna jack
Shit tight no slack just bought a cadillac
Took it to the chop shop
Got the damn top dropped two colored flip flopped
Candy red lollipop
There's hoes in the parking lot
But I still got my glock cocked
New money motherfucker don't you see the big knot
Don't you see the big chain
Don't you see the big rims
Wonder who they hatin' on lately
Baby it's him candy paint
Gator skin seats call me dun dee
Pope in your hood I'm the one that you wanna be
Haters wish they could feel the wood in my '83
Ridin' with no tint so the motherfuckers know it's me
Rich boy sellin' crack
Dope niggas wanna jack
Shit tight no slack
Just bought a cadillac (throw some d's on that bitch!)
Just bought a cadillac (throw some d's on that bitch!)
Just bought a cadillac
Rich boy sellin' crack
Dope niggas wanna jack
Shit tight no slack
Just bought a cadillac (throw some d's on that bitch!)
Just bought a cadillac (throw some d's on that bitch!)
Just bought a cadillac
I never slip, I never fall
A lot of hoes give me they numbers but I never call
A real o.g. look at v.i.p. and see a nigga ball
Then after we hit the club baby then I'm gonna hit them draws
I'm gonna break you off (and that's all)
Every freak should have a picture of my dick (on they wall)
Polow be the shit, zone 4 be the click
Yeah this for my dawgs
Yeah gangsters, hustlers, wanksters, busters
(wait a minute motherfucker)
Rich boy sellin' crack
Dope niggas wanna jack
Shit tight no slack
Just bought a cadillac (throw some d's on that bitch!)
Just bought a cadillac (throw some d's on that bitch!)
Just bought a cadillac

Dope niggas wanna jack
Shit tight no slack
Just bought a cadillac (throw some d's on that bitch!)
Just bought a cadillac (throw some d's on that bitch!)
Just bought a cadillac
Hit the block on some new 10 thousand dollar wheels
Can't explain how I feel
Toucha gator on my wheel
Got peanut butter ice cream
Petter pan seats just gotta
Fresh cut
Now we looking for them freaks
Take a bad yella bitch
Make her drop them draws
I'ma show you how to ball
Middle finger to the law so fuck them
Niggas tell em' what they wanna do?
Hating on a player cause my 'lac skated 22's
When I pull up I'mma park right at the front door lean
In my cup got purp in my blunt
I'mma real pimp bitch I ain't playin' like a trick
Just bought a new 'lac bout to put them
Thangs on that bitch!!

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.
