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.
2 hookers and an 8 ball
Can you believe that I write this shit
2 hookers and an 8 ball
Stupid people thinkin' I am cool
I definitely give myself props
And that way I always get what I want
I always try to keep my edge
With 2 hookers and an
8 ball niggas and all the dope dealers
As I rock them digits and get
Freaky deaky with a front row ticket
For all of my bitches
Cuz my momma said to pick the very best one
2 hookers and an 8 ball
Can you believe that I write this shit
2 hookers and an 8 ball
It ain't that fucking hard
I'm standing up to all my abuse
Inexperience is where I lose
I'm struggling to keep my edge
With 2 hookers and an
8 ball, babies for all the fine ladies
Rollin out in my Mercedes
And into the 80's
With a bad case of rabies
And a high-top fade
2 hookers and an 8 ball
Can you believe that I write this shit
2 hookers and an 8 ball
Stupid people thinking I am cool

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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 about the fact that MSI writes things that they think are completly idiotic at times and all of the mindless masses eat that shit up just because THEY wrote it. By the way, the part that says "Well then go, fuckin go!" is actually "puppy dog puppy dog" which helps to further illistrate my point.
....did my comment even go through...?...wuthafuk?...
In my opinion, I think this song just shows how he is aware of how famous he has become, and is taking advantage of it, having fun with it. He is partying with two hookers and an 8 ball, He could be having the time of his life! Sorry if I ramble, but I believe that he is showing that he isn't trying to impress you, the listeners, just doing whatever the hell he wants.
Sorry if I am wrong.

This song is actually caled "two Hookers"
Why put up lyrics you don't know? Alot of parts are missing and some of the parts there are wrong I haven't listend to this enough to get all the lyrics but I do know its "I'm strugglin to keep my edge w/ 2 hookers and a 8 ball". Not "strugglin to kiss my ass".
Also, I remember Jimmy Urine calling the song "2 hookers and an 8 ball". I think maybe they had to shorten the name so it'd be kosher on the back cover.
Yeah, but the offical name is Two hookers.
...fuck what the name iz "exactly".....aint no use in whin'n bout that shit.....what piss'z me off iz the lack of lyrix, and the noticeable fuxup......"strugglin to kiss my ass"?....shit....jimmy urine sayz sum twiztid shit, but in this case, Sexplosius iz right.....itz edge, n hez keepn it...not kissn it.....>.<....fuxzit, im done...
yeah i hate it when people post up lyrics when they dont have the fucking words complete or even right. they just want to beat everyone to it. hey dumbass! if they are correcting it for you why dont you at least edit the lyrics and fix them! oh yeah and about thefeind's lack of good spelling and grammar, it doesnt bother me but its harder to read, so yeah please try to make it legible, people.
