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.
I'm from the beast of the Belly
I'm from the beast of the Belly
I'm from the beast of the Belly
Got all this bread like a deli
Really ain't shit you can tell me
Bitch be like Tommy off "Belly"
My main bitch, her name is Keisha
My side bitch, her name is Kianna
Hanging with killers and robbers
Pull out my dick and she swallow
My main bitch, her name is Keisha
My side bitch, her name Kianna
(x3)
Pull out my dick and she swallow
Hanging with the killers and robbers
I fuck your bitch with no condom
Now you take care of my family
Mixing the lean with yo' drama
That shit tastes like Cotton Candy
You should put dick in her belly, (?)
Kianna never wear no panties
I beat it, I feel like I'm Danny
I'm skirting out in the White Rovers
You driving Toyota Corollas
The Bentley, it's system, no solar
My bitch's skin look like it's mocha
I pull out my dick and I poke her
My gun, I swear, ain't got no holster
I hit yo' ass right with the toaster
We bout it, bout it like Magnolia
If you walk past, my gun will slow ya'
I tear a hole in you like donuts
I'm whippin' that white like the Jonas'
I'm fuckin' yo' bitch for the bonus
I'm ???
I'm likin' the way that I'm flowin'
You look at my chain, now it's snowin'
Snakes all in the grass, get to mowin'
Extendo on gun and then I get to blowin'
I'm from the beast of the Belly
Got all this bread like a deli
Really ain't shit you can tell me
My bitch like Tommy off "Belly"
My main bitch, her name is Keisha
My side bitch, her name is Kianna
Hanging with killers and robbers
Pull out my dick and she swallow
My main bitch, her name is Keisha
My side bitch, her name Kianna
(x3)
Pull out my dick and she swallow
Hang with killers and robbers
Aye
Chain colder, cold-hearted, aye
Diamond flawless, I'm important, aye
I rock Visvim, this ain't Jordan, babe
Hundreds all in ???
Spending money with my bros, aye
Throwing shots at my foes, aye
Drinking lean, this ain't Rozay!
Been at the top, feel like I'm 2Pac, aye
I'm grilled up like I'm Ox, aye (?)
Me and my bitch in the house, aye
She tried to argue me out, aye
What is this I'm all about
She said "who the fuck is Kianna?", aye
I said "It's only you, Keisha", aye
Then it's my dick what I feed her
Keisha my main
Got Kianna on the side, Like Chicken Caesar
I swerve in the Range
All my whips, I got work and I use an egg beater
Dress up like I'm homeless
I'm gon' walk up to your whip and watch you lose your brain
Been in this game
I might go to Africa, money insane!
I'm from the beast of the Belly
Got all this bread like a deli
Really ain't shit you can tell me
Bitch be like ???
My main bitch, her name is Keisha
My side bitch, her name is Kianna
Hanging with killers and robbers
Pull out my dick and she swallow
My main bitch, her name is Keisha
My side bitch, her name Kianna

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Just a crack at this, but I think "Belly" is simply a track that serves as somewhat of a testament to Uzi's "dominance" over his own life.
The opening lines "I'm from the beast of the belly", along with the track's intro including sound clips from the movie Belly, are not only a means of alluding to an inspiring and relative 1998 work, but also as a statement that asserts Uzi's toughness from surviving and living within a harsh environment.
Uzi goes on to describe his "main bitch and side bitch", which would be as a means of not only referencing more of the movie Belly, but also how he himself is so in control that he can have multiple sexual partners, which is typical of an "alpha male". Another alpha trait is how rich he claims to be, evident in his line "got all this bread like a deli" [bread = $$].
He goes on to describe "fuck[ing] your bitch with no condom... now you take care of my family", which entails a two-fold meaning. Uzi is so confident with his control over both women and his own life that he feels no need to wear a condom, while others would so as to protect themselves from the onset of sexually transmitted diseases or unwanted pregnancies. The other meaning of this lyric is to describe his callousness in cuckholding another man to the point of having other men raising his bastard children after impregnating their significant others, which is also said to be a trait of a dominant man, or "bull".
Uzi goes on to the lyric "I beat it, I feel like I'm Danny..." which is a shoutout to welterweight boxer Danny "Swift" Garcia. With "it" being earlier referenced as a woman's vagina, this lyrics is meant to describe Uzi's feeling of being like a famous boxing hitting something/someone whenever he is "hitting the pussy", thus emphasizing more of Uzi's self-proclaimed masculinity.
After more lyrics of essentially bragging about his material possession, with lines such as "you look at my chain, now it's snowin'" and "I rock Visvim, this ain't Jordan...", Uzi then makes another assertion regarding his status as a "bonafide" thug, even going so far as to compare himself to the late hip-hop pioneer 2pac with the lyric "bandanna tied, feel like I'm 2pac...".
With the hooks and chorus sections revolving around the same repetitions of having multiple sexual partners and "hanging with killers and robbers", Lil Uzi does a thorough job of making certain the listener is aware of his perception of his life being easily-comparable to the characters of widely-acclaimed motion picture, Belly. However, it ultimately ensures that his audience is also regarding his own awareness to his own life being too difficult for weaker men, while being almost ideal for a "man's man" of such dominant character such as himself.
