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.
This is a dedication motherfucker
This is Gangsta Grillz you bastards
Nigga we bussin and bussin
To the banga bus
No we don't run for the olympics
But the flame's with us
I got that 'tussin
That scummy and the angel dust
So pick you high I will supply
And correct changes, what's up
We bring the bus in
We bussin, like this thang's for us
You niggas is sleeveless man
You can't hang with us
I got a bitch who speaks spanglish
She keep her bangels danglin'
In the cocaine thats right up her anus
Old Wayne is right up in the spot
Like he's supposed to
B got hova at the game
And now he coachin'
Me but I been the champion
Happy as I ever been
Lampin' in the Hamptons like
What the fuck is a hammock?
The chef up in the kitchen like
What the fuck is a sandwich?
I'm like we need to find middle ground
We need balance
Challenge me, that'd be to my advantage
I'm outstandin' like standin' outside
Up in the twister and walkin'
Not damaged
Standin' outside up in the blizzard
And walkin' hot handed
Servin' nickle bags in Iraq
Bet I will not panic
Swerve the nickle black if I wreck
Bet I will not panic
Cop another one the next day
And drive it crazier
The seat to be lazier
Shit or beat Gravy uh
Need a serifine of my girls
So then I baby her
Waving her at two crazy
Fugazez I'm too brazy
Three brazies deep
We got 380's and P80's
Nice 9's, M10's
M1's and 12 Gauges
Shell casings
Money put up for jail cases
Bail making
My momma say
Tuck your chain son
They'll take it
I hit up with one of them still faces
Like, I'll be dowm mama
They know who I am mama
I'm still your little boy
But to them I'm the man mama
Fuck with your boy man
Hollygrove the hood nigga
Throw it in your face
'Till you get that understood
This is Gangsta Grillz you bastards
Nigga we bussin and bussin
To the banga bus
No we don't run for the olympics
But the flame's with us
I got that 'tussin

I cant believe every lyric site has the best line in the song inaccuate. You have to get this 1 line correct for the entire song to gell and become the classic that it is in my view.... more after the jump lol.
OK, the line where he says "we got 380's and..." It wouldn't make sense for him to follow that up by saying "nines" twice, he could be implying that he's carrying 2 nines, but it still doesn't feel right....
Right after he says "we got 380's" he then goes on to say "and P-80" (singular NOT PLURAL). It is very crucial that the annunciation of "P-80" is meant to be singular. Which is cool, but what the fuck is a p-80?? there's no such thing. But if you take the "9's" from the next line and connect back to the previous line, it reads off as "380's and P89's" (a well known caliber) now everything after this falls into place and let to be a lesson the one "S"; the thin line between a word being singular of plural can change the entire complexion of a song. From time I figured that line I out, I vowed never to say Wayne isnt making sense. If we dont get its because we havn't figured it out yet. But everything this mans says is for a reason and it meant to make sense.
He says "nina serafina my girl so then i baby her" not "need a serifine of my girls". but i am not sure who she is
