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.
Umna, Umna, Umna bitch my julator sip on the data
Verb conjugator, plus herb inhalator
Feed off the haters, opposite of krypton
Give me more power and I'm fit to get my sip on
Move with the hip sha-shake that chassis
Clean on the get but still get nasty
Dance floor trashy with cups and glitter
(dump that picture)
Mugshot mean like my name McNulty
Hard days night please don't insult me
Did a lot of livin in the past 6 minutes
Cold like a blizzard when the flow get in it
Space time jumper, teleport massive
Made like a cat, QB boy fashion
Always on fours, two techniques each
Hold to the beats while we storm up the beach
All I wanna do is teleport massive
(throw they hands up in the air yeah we feelin em)
All I wanna do is teleport massive
(throw they hands up in the air yeah we feelin em, we'll be wheelin em, show you top dealin em)
Teleport massive
Mind on fire cause I bleed petrol
We let go so the beats can control
Move real slow like im sippin sizzurp
Land of the oaks teamed up with the bizzer
Pumped for the future, here comes the rooster
Melonhead man so always feel super
Super deluxe bassnec with the cuts
Live from babylon and dub-a-dub-a-deep
The girls go nuts, the boys go nuts
But none can touch what the king dreamed up
He team ringed up my team two gritty
Writtin on walls till we deep our city
We three sixty, you forty five
Now we see who keep the party live
Go on give it up cause your boy get cup
If you really feel fly go, put your hands up
All I wanna do is teleport massive
(throw they hands up in the air yeah we feelin em)
All I wanna do is teleport massive
(throw they hands up in the air yeah we feelin em, we'll be wheelin em, show you top dealin em)
Teleport massive

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

“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.
In the first verse, it's actually "Mugshot mean like my name Nick Nolte" lol
I'm pretty sure in the chorus the correct lyrics are: "shows, we top billin em". That makes more sense right?
Its also "Land like a cat" Im pretty sure that makes more sense than "Made like a cat."
