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.
It is I the B-I-G the B-O-I
Turn my ears to the street n eyes to the sky
Kept my sights on the prize wide open doors wide
Like the thighs of a hooker spread told the girl bye
I got bigger fish to fry niggas wish I would retire
Cause of the pressure I apply every time I bust a rhyme
Look at the rest of ya tryin' watch me stimulate the mind
Of the masses while you niggas kicking it like jackasses
N who you voting for Republican or Democratic?
Don't say it doesn't matter cause that's how they stole the last one
Assassins bullets might be waiting for Obama
Do you think they'll have a brother before Billy's baby momma come on
Look at the way you look at me da-daddy fat sax
In my Cadillac six woofers and four amps
Look at the way you look at me da-daddy fat sax
In my Cadillac six woofers and four amps
Look at the way you look at me da-daddy fat sax
In my Cadillac six woofers and four amps
Look at the way you look at me da-daddy fat sax
In my Cadillac six woofers and four amps
My daddy told me it was mine for the taking
A true gift from God the stars aligned when they made me
Him Arena's baby they first born son
I'm Antwon Andre Patton the only one
But mind of a champion with heart of a lion
I'm defying all the laws like a caterpillar flying
Way before my time and reside in the dirty dirty
Where they still hanging lynches like we in the early thirties
God damn you know who I am (da-daddy fat sax)
Royal fam of Atlanta dungeon bitch you understand boi
This ain't what you want let be clear from the bungie
I write knock out songs you spit punchlines for money
Look at the way you look at me da-daddy fat sax
In my Cadillac six woofers and four amps
Look at the way you look at me da-daddy fat sax
In my Cadillac six woofers and four amps
Look at the way you look at me da-daddy fat sax
In my Cadillac six woofers and four amps
Look at the way you look at me da-daddy fat sax

With my ears to the streets and my eyes to the sky
I'm on another planet my nigga and you jus fly (fly-y)
Cause I'm (da-daddy fat sax) take that muthafucka take that
With my ears to the streets and my eyes to the sky

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
