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.

Chorus:
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt (x14)
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
Verse 1:
I don't need a rapper on my shirt, I got Christ on mine
I go so hard for God I think I might get fined
In a relationship with God so I don't need no dine
And I don't pop no pills 'cause I ain't got no time
I'm a Bible worm, I'm a God fanatic
I'm saved, I'm blessed, I'm charismatic
We stay amped up off the holy juice
If you ain't rollin' with us, then we chunt the deuce
Yeah, the shirt is tight, but my dougie's loose
I lift my hands up to God like I'm raisin' the roof
Ey, it's a new generation, new game plan
A new plan, created by the Son of Man
I'm gonna try to go in, search warrant
I heart Jesus Christ like the chorus
Chorus:
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt (x10)
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
Verse 2:
I'm a Christian, I be swingin', but don't get it twisted
If anybody needs a prayer, I'm on it in an instant
First Corinthians twelve, the godly are gifted
God is the most high so you know I'm lifted
I don't need it for no go and get the party poppin'
All I need is Christ with me and the bass knockin'
Like a train at full speed, I am not stoppin'
The Devil is throwin' his arrows but I'm sure to block 'em
We only over here, you know it's G.O.D.
I'm tryin' to bear good fruit like an apple tree
Praise God for his son the Messiah
Covered in his blood and I'm baptized with fire
Flow, get a meter, and I change my demeanor
God wash away my burdens and I'm fresher about to clean up
Flow, get a meter, and I change my demeanor
God wash away my burdens and I'm fresher about to clean up
Chorus:
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt (x10)
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
Verse 3:
I dance to glorify God like David did
I have my dougie, I swing, I straight jig
I depend on my father just like a little kid
Holy Spirit in my cup, here take a swig
I'm a citizen of heaven, meet me at the crib
I ain't afraid, God is on my side like a rib
Christian rapper got bars kind of like the brig
I lift God's name like I'm tryin' to get big
Ready for the struggle, I be fresh about the huddle
Can't catch me trippin' even if I'm in a mud puddle
You can find me in the streets doing godly stuff
You can find me in the gym, life is tough
Gassed up off God's word, I'm active like a verb
The Lord is so superb, I'm high off of no herbs
Checks on my feet, Kings R Us shirt
I'm focuses on the Son (sun), you would think my eyes hurt
Chorus:
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt (x16)
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt
I be rockin' my iHeart Jesus shirt

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."
