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.

[Verse 1 - Tupac]
can't nobody stop us when were blunted up and swervin
packed in a suburban
screamin outlaw
runnin on the curb
they never try me
cause right behind me a killer team
I give the word cut the head off a nigga like a guillotine
this Hennessey will keep me calm though
sittin in the back of a club tradin convo
livin like a don in my own mind
sittin with kadafi nigga watch me with the chrome 9
all the time drinkin champagne
walk throught the crowd let the tramps hang
niggas play a hate but do a damned thang
picture me doin 80
down a one way
stuck in the trunk caught in gunplay
so I gotta keep my eyes open gettin high
wondering why we gotta die smokin, my alibi
like they gonna find me in the mark for death
spending my nights like it's the last one left
I'm an outlaw
[Chrous]
am I wrong
the one to get it goin on
the last to leave
til' I see everybody's gone
I'm at the bar u could catch me
hands full of liquor
puffin on the sweetest swisher
cause I'm the last one left
tell me am I wrong
the one to get it goin on
the last to leave
til' I see everybody's gone
I'm at the bar u could catch me
hands full of liquor
puffin on the sweetest swisher
cause I'm the last one left
[Verse 2 - Napoleon]
i got my back against the wall
gat chillen by my balls
why they tryin to rule this nigga thats only 5'6'' tall
the police only know that we outlaws
fuck fair
better strap down to the fullest cause we dont care
thug passion all up in me
feelin like i drunk some heny
it aint easy im tryin to make a dollar out of 2 pennys
war we got these rap niggas
wanna pull thier gat niggas
only got my side
cause they think pac died nigga
blast niggas with our tech
takin showers in our vests
pac come and catch reak nigga we the last one left
[Verse 3 - Tupac]
it be my only zone
inside my own dome
fresh out of jail
it was hell
but I'm finally home
lookin for niggas that was woofin that shit when i was locked back
hands on the pump make em jump when it cocked back
fuck em all they bitches inside a world of weak
bitch niggas be afraid to speak
be the last ones left
[Chorus]
tell me am I wrong
the one to get it goin on
the last to leave
til' I see everybody's gone
I'm at the bar u could catch me
hands full of liquor
puffin on the sweetest swisher
cause I'm the last one left
tell me am I wrong
the one to get it goin on
the last to leave
til' I see everybody's gone
I'm at the bar u could catch me
hands full of liquor
puffin on the sweetest swisher
cause I'm the last one left
[Verse 4 - Young Noble]
I eat and sleep the worst shit
cursed from birth

screamin fuck the world
I got a bitch on the side want to be my wife
and she wanna know is she gonna see me tonight
and i know it aint right
but its the life i got
and thats until i see god
and until i see pac
young noble i lost control

and if the world was a girl id stick my dick in the ground
fuck tha world

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
east side in this mother fucker.. but pac is still god!
