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.
(Feat. Nas, Foxy Brown, Amerie)
[Chorus:]
Said it ain't to much for me
To have you next to me
I can't believe it
All the things I do
To keep you loving me
And its just to much for me
To not have you by my side
Cause no matter what your going through
You know that I'm gon' ride yea
[Nas]
You a brave girl
I'm a brave heart
And car heart
And champion hunnies
You in the benz buggy with the fullies
I ride beside ya
We about to pull a all nighter
I'm super freak like Rick James
Sex in rangers
Parked on dangerous blocks
You like it when the strangers watch
I'm looking out for cops
You a girl with no fear people put ya hands in the air
For the GQ man of the year
That bentley that polstry leather, the leather
That be up in the coats I wear
Wherever I go so there ya have it
Cashmere fabrics never caught in last years garments
Holsters under armpits chauffers and the charms lit
And the coders holding on the dons wrist
She got the ill will chain on
Turqouise boots sayin god son
This the theme song
[Chorus]
[Baby]
You know the size of this shit
I flips it quickly loose this trouble for these people get with me
Holla at my hoes 'cause I dip my bitches
From gold to platinum from rag to riches
I'm the boss of the boss
The pimp shotcaller
Worldwide riding in the benz with a scroller
In your city tear ya mall up
Pimp fly bitches and tear their walls up
Dress nice I'm super neat
Ice on white wit 3's on her feat
Worldwide robber from coast to coast
From europe japan I gets that dough
Send out 2 I get back 4
Ya broad around me imma lace that hoe
Smoke dro redo my whips
Redo my chips this the bird man b**ch
[Chorus]
[Foxy Brown]
BK I throw it up
Free stay manoloed up

Bring fever cock sucker when foxy throw it on

Why'all rap b****hes is all so subliminal
That's why I ones them everytime I pass em

And leave why'all niggas on the sideline starvin
[Chorus]

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.
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."
