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 dare a pussy nigga put his hands on me
Damn near got a thousand grams on me
If you run up on me I'mma
Put that blama on ya
Gucci got that strap on ya
And yea blama ya homie
Running from the bounty homie
Your honor I think ya outta order
I know what you did last
Summer fuck your baby mother
Gucci Mane's 80s baby and he
Took 180 from you
Mixed Haitian at the station smoking
Like some damn Jamaican
Only thang that I regret is
Ion got my pistol license
Swisher slice without a license ion
Give a fuck about it
You a snitch to tell me now
I'm gone get the fuck around
System now you probably hit
Me another counter
Why they call mountain park I
Don't see no fucking mountain
Truck dusted and disgusted walk
Around aggressive mouth
I met the plug and ran it up don't
Know if I have the hundred thousand
I may ain't sold a million records
But I got a million dollars
I dare a pussy nigga put his hands on me
Damn near got a thousand grams on me
If you run up on me I'mma
Put that blama on ya
Gucci got that strap on ya
And yea blama ya homie
I got a thousand grams on my motherfuckin arm
Made a half ticket of off twenty dollar fund
Sitting in the middle of
My neighborhood chilling
With two white bitches blowing
Weed out the ceiling
Made a fifty thousand profit's
Bought half on guns
Turn my neighborhood to Cali can't
Stay where I'm from
My niggas gang banging robbing all that
Even my nephew got his teacher calling
Say he don't wear shit to
School but all black i dare a pussy nigga to
Speak my motherfucking name then
Send my boys through there with them
Choppas it make it rain
All these diamonds on me I'm just coolin'
All these sick haters gone make me
Call your bitch up and go make a movie
I dare a pussy nigga put his hands on me
Damn near got a thousand grams on me
If you run up on me I'mma
Put that blama on ya
Gucci got that strap on ya
And yea blama ya homie
You know me I got that
Strap and I'll blama some
You know me I get it gone I get my hands on
No hands on all these suckers
They won't live long
Ain't nowhere to moan everythang I own
I up a couple hundreds strong
Plus I just got on
I just fucked a nigga bitch I fucked
It up and turn her on
I just hopped out of new whip when
I talk to her it turn on
I couldn't wait for no nigga I had
Get it on my own damn yeah
I just bought a new house
And put them bricks in
I walked in smelling like
Who fucking rich mane
In the kitchen whipping fucking
On my wrist again
And I'm motherfucking blam put
Your hands on it
I dare a pussy nigga put his hands on me
Damn near got a thousand grams on me
If you run up on me I'mma
Put that blama on ya
Gucci got that strap on ya
And yea blama ya homie
Damn near got a thousand grams on me
If you run up on me I'mma
Put that blama on ya

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.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
