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.
Stank ass rappers make me sick"
[UnDeRaTeD:]
Yo it's underated with the potluck klick
When I'm on the mic, you better check your bitch
Every single time my rhyme is a hit
Don't even try to lie cause your boy can spit
Try and try but you can't catch me
We keep it underground, no MTV
When I get the flow I get it like a Uzi
And all the girls saying damn who's he? !
If you can't see me on the M.I.C.
I Can beat fast when I bob to the beat
Rap so fast I can rhyme in my sleep
Everybody wanna go buy the cd
Go to the store and stand in line
Look at that girl, oh damn she's fine!
I wanna get her number and she wants to get mine
Cause every other girl loves hip hop rhymes
Already know that I do it all day
And it ain't no problem that I'm rockin the stage
Reppin Humboldt county all the way to the bay
Smoking my weed till my hair turn grey
Never gonna stop, never gonna quit
Mothafuckas know this is potluck bitch
If you wanna talk shit, go grab a mic
Yeah damn right, I'm here for life
Suck my dick, make me cum
Bitch, do you know where the fuck I'm from?
West coast, where the dope is flow
Too short
Vicious flow and it can't be stopped
Stack the dough and fuck the cops
My klick is sicker than chicken pox
And if you don't like it then bitch kick rocks
"Everybody say you shouldn't say this you shouldn't say that. see... fun is fun, this is just expression, talk your language, talk this everyday, nothing to be ashamed of"
[One Ton:]
Here goes one ton for the potluck klick
When I get drunk and talk that shit
When I kick it around better watch your chick
Cause I think your miss wanna kiss this dick
Blow so cold so cold me bro
And it ain't fair that I can't smoke my dro
I do what I do so I hope you know
No other fat nigga do a whole lotta blow
I'm doin my own thing
Blow out my nose ring
Gimme my coat, where my hoes be?
When I count money everybody knows me
All about the cheese Still got no bling, no fling, no ring
Nobody gonna be so light so tight eyesight
It's Every time I touch the mic
Now I gotta get it height
Never get it right
They call me the man like I'm ballin again
All in the stands and party with the fans
All to the good and talkin to the chance
We poppin the shan, We part of the fam
Listen to me grow, this is how I go
Quit it and diss it and we hit with the show
Flip a lil dough, hit up a couple of hoes
Quick as I get it when?
"Understand niggas is gonna hate you regardless, get that out of your head, that fantasy world where niggas ain't hatin on you, you need haters, if there's any haters here right now that don't have anybody to hate on feel free to hate on me"
[UnDeRaTeD and One ton:]
The sign is to rappin, you're tryin to hard
We make it happen by raising the bar
Lyrically packin and jackin your car
Leadin your girl at the back of the bar
With a crew that you wanna be like
Smoke all night and make the flow tight
Ready to reb the rhyme so nice
Puff puff pass as I'm passing the mic
Pass me the mic bro, pass it to me
Crack another brew and smashing it to be
Pass sideways as I'm sagging my jeans
Potluck's here, do you know what that means?
It means were about to take over the show
Toke another bowl, takin over the flow
I like my girls fast and my bong hits slow
Were in the studio till we all get dough
"Don't ya just love that shit? that's a catchy ass song, you just wanna jump up shit and climb off! I'm feeling that shit! I'm going nowhere, that's gonna be there a long time! "

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Funny. Nobody wants a fat chick so this sh*t doesn't even matter ;)
