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.
C'mon, c'mon, ay, T-Pain, T-Pain
It's Twista come this way, c'mon, we gotta creep fast, c'mon
Watch as I hit it through the middle of the city in a Chevy
And I'm ready with the woofers that'll flip your block
And I got the tick and a machete for the niggas actin' petty
Get to talkin' an' I'm a heat up your block
If you wanna bring your boys
Better bring the toys
Better bring the noise
I'm a pump both up with ammunition
Bodies I be hittin' when I get to spittin' everybody
Shoulda broke and ain't nobody listen so now I
Roll and 24s when I'm on your tip
They don't know who I am ain't no body talkin' shit
Tell me when did they ever think that I was a hoe
'Cause I got killas with me, Crips, Bloods, G's and folks
And we be focused on the paper when we be up in the kitchen
When we thinkin' about the money on the steady come up and I got the niggas
That be ready for whatever with a whole war chest if a nigga run up
AK 47, Desert Eagle, SK, Mac 11 for the niggas that'll try to run up
Nigga what ya want I'm a bone thug get you while your sleeping
Cause you know I'm creepin on ah come up
Motherfuckers actin' like they don't know me
But they know just who I am, I'm a motherfuckin' killa gorilla nigga
You better act like you understand
'Cause I'm a killer, a mass murda, the realest nigga that you ever heard of
Motherfuckers actin' like don't the deal
But they know just what to do
Everybody talkin' in the streets so you know that I'm comin' straight for you
I'm a killer, a mass murda, the realest nigga that you ever heard of
Quit the playin' nigga and get over on the Twista I'm a see you when I see you
And I wouldn't want to be you
Got the desert eagle
When I'm rollin' in the regal
And I'm lookin' at you evil
Through the eye of a needle
Not a misdemeanor
But a murder with a millimeter
Feel the heat of Twista when I'm bustin' at your whip
I get a burglar when I be comin' for your shit
I'm a get you for your goods when I run up in your crib
Tell me where your jewelry at
Where your safe
Don't make me have to smack this ugly bitch in her face
Is it behind the portrait or is it
In your floor just let me know so that I can hit it up
'Cause I gots to go
'Cause I gotta throw it so I had to lick on them niggas
'Cause it used to be that if I had to hit 'em I'ma get 'em
Never ride a burgundy Lamborghini Murcielago through the city
Because I know that'll kill 'em
Averagin' a 100 yards a game
My competition' better back up
I'm the e running back
Niggas that ain't ready get the machete
For the lyrical Jason of rap i'ma keep comin' back
Motherfuckers actin' like they don't know me
But they know just who I am, I'm a motherfuckin' killa gorilla nigga
You better act like you understand
'Cause I'm a killer, a mass murda, the realest nigga that you ever heard of
Motherfuckers actin' like don't the deal
But they know just what to do
Everybody talkin' in the streets so you know that I'm comin' straight for you
I'm a killer, a mass murda, the realest nigga that you ever heard of
The lyrical assassin the pocket I got in
I be attackin' the track
And I got a package of the good
See a legendary representa for the city
'Cause I put it down ever since I been rappin' in the hood
17 years of goin' and flowin'
And showin' these niggas when it come to beatin' me nobody could
I was spittin' venom ever sense the days U-G-K been rappin'
And talkin' about puttin' diamonds on the wood
Pullin up in a old Cadillac before I got some thangs
And I got that gwap and the numba one spot now I ride a range
And because I spit that crack is the reason we got some change
And if we ain't makin' money off rap then we got them thangs
Got the 8 dollar hollas two for 15's
A 4 and a split a nine piece so you can hit the whole brick
How I win it by makin' a 100 every summer
Pullin' up in the hummer can make a nigga so sick
How we constantly come up with hits and steady be gettin' fans
Is only because a nigga flows sick
Showin' no debate everybody know I'm great
Any muthafuckers that hate can suck my dick
Motherfuckers actin' like they don't know me
But they know just who I am, I'm a motherfuckin' killa gorilla nigga
You better act like you understand
'Cause I'm a killer, a mass murda, the realest nigga that you ever heard of
Motherfuckers actin' like don't the deal
But they know just what to do
Everybody talkin' in the streets so you know that I'm comin' straight for you
I'm a killer, a mass murda, the realest nigga that you ever heard of

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Magical

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.
