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.
We be drippy all the time
Y'all can touch slime

They tryna break off my faith
Take me away from the gates
Living my life the right way
Sucking and fucking

Backwoods in the coupe
Blowing smoke out the roof
Spitting fire like a dragon
