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.
Poppin' bottles in the ice, like a blizzard
When we drink, we do it right gettin' slizard
Sippin' sizzurp in my ride (in my ride) like Three 6
Now I'm feelin' so fly like a G6
Like a G6, like a G6
Now I'm feelin' so fly like a G6
Like a G6, like a G6
Now I'm feelin' so fly like a G6
Gimme that Moët ('et)
Gimme that Crystal ('stal)
Ladies love my style, at my table gettin' wild
Get them bottles poppin', we get that drip and that drop
Now, now, give me two more bottles 'cause you know it don't stop
(808)
Hell yeah
Drink it up, drink-drink it up
When sober girls around me, they be actin' like they drunk
They be actin' like they drunk, actin'-actin' like they drunk
When sober girls around me they be actin' like they drunk
Poppin' bottles in the ice, like a blizzard
When we drink, we do it right gettin' slizard
Sippin' sizzurp in my ride (in my ride) like Three 6

Sippin' on, sippin' on sizz', I'ma ma-make it fizz
Girl, I keep it gangster, poppin' bottles at the crib (crib)
This is how we live, every single night
Take that bottle to the head, and let me see you fly
(808)
Hell yeah
Drink it up, drink-drink it up
When sober girls around me, they be actin' like they drunk
They be actin' like they drunk, actin'-actin' like they drunk

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."

THIS IS AN AWESOME SONG
If you put aside your pathetic critical boring opinions for just one second, you might actually listen to the music, and the catchy lyrics. Its a really good party song when your sober or drunk. The meaning is pretty straightforward, G6's are cool and fly so they're LIKE a G6 so its a similie not a metaphor....critical and uneducated I see!
Haha shame..
hell yah get it. This song is meant for clubs and its beat
