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.
What's happening?
The Hot Boys got some feelings
They like to get off they chest
And if these niggaz
Feel like we feel, then y'all niggaz real
Cause we feel like this here
I feel like niggaz can't fuck with me
I feel like someone wanna be B.G.
I feel Lil' Wayne will burn yo block so quick
I feel Turk will be quiet and take yo shit
I feel Juve will catch you
Slipping and unload the tech
I feel a big ass helicopter on the set
Sometimes I don't even know how I feel
But I feel if you hating shit goin' get real
I feel like goin' buy me a brand new car
I feel like the neighborhood superstar
I feel like goin' buy me a new rolex
I feel this album goin' bring a big royalty check
I feel this nigga mad cuz I fucked his bitch
I feel like this nigga could just suck my dick
I feel like we taking over the industry fo'' sho
I feel like this bitin'
Wannabe soldiers already know
I feel like Fresh is the best at beats
I feel like when you hear this shit
You goin' feel like me
Nigga fuck you
I feel just like you (3x)
You fucking with the B.G.
You fucking with the whole crew
I feel like niggaz trying to size me up
I feel like niggaz trying to bust me up
I feel like Look, I can't be stopped
I feel like me and my click too hot
I feel like hitting the block with four niggaz
I feel like the whole CMB made niggaz
I feel like hitting the ho after this ''cert
I feel like niggaz can't fuck with Juve
The B.G. and Turk
I feel like
We bout to blow up in this world
I feel like if I gotta hustle
I'mma sell some 'furl'
Sometimes I just feel like jumping shop
I feel if my rhyme got beat, I'mma ride
I feel if a nigga flex up I pop the 'tro'
I feel like I could a nigga ho if I want
I feel like just getting it how I live
I feel like respect my mind lemme feel how I feel
You fuck with Lil' Turk
You fucking with the whole crew
I feel like I'mma lose my life for this
I feel like I'mma have to fight for this
I feel motherfuckers they goin' say I'm wrong
I feel niggaz goin' get buck when they hear my song
I feel like puttin' 20's on up in my car
I feel like taking these bitch niggaz to war
I feel I deserve me a platinum plaque
I feel I shouldn't have to ask for that
I feel y'all hos know a nigga want here
I feel y'all bitches know I'm holding my dick
I feel y'all know I'm bout to hit me a lick
I feel like goin' to Texas for me some brick
I feel the policeman making me sick
I feel like the law don't wanna see a nigga with shit
I feel like walking on my judgment now
I feel like on a budget now
Nigga I feel like that everything
I write somebody else will bite
I really think it's the south fresh
Tracks they be tight
I just can't explain
I feel like when two thousand come it'll be out my way
I feel like the Hot Boys them should be the president
I feel like burning up yo body to leave no evidence
I feel like money
Is the most important thing next to my seater
I feel like I should have
No bald head tramp up in my beamer
And I also feel that I'm also real
Ain't no rollie like my rollie
Noone live like I live
And I, I feel that I'm one of a kind
I feel like niggaz call shot
But they ain't got bitches like mine
I feel like tonight I'm goin' ride, ride
And if you feel you goin' die, die
Now baby, baby, baby what the deal
Respect my mind I'm just telling you how I feel
The Hot Boys got some feelings
They like to get off they chest
And if these niggaz
Feel like we feel, then y'all niggaz real
Cause we feel like this here
I feel like niggaz can't fuck with me
I feel like someone wanna be B.G.

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."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
These are obviously the wrong lyrics! Here are the correct lyrics:
I feel like I'mma lose my life for this I feel like I'mma have to fight for this I feel motherfuckers they goin' say I'm wrong I feel you're goin' get buck when you hear my song I feel you don't even know how I feel I feel if you hate me you got to get real I feel like go to Texas and for me some brick I feel the policeman making me sick I feel like I could be the president I feel like burning up their bodies to leave no evidence I feel you don't even know how I feel Respect my mind I'm just telling you how I feel
Do you feel like you could lose your life for this Do you feel like you could fight for this Do you feel like go to Texas and for me some brick Do you feel the policeman I'm making you sick Do you feel like you could be the president feel like burning up their bodies to leave no evidence Do you feel like they don't even know how we feel I feel that they hate us, we got to get real Got to get real, real
