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.
(Verse 1)
Come Here Shawty
Let Me Show You What A Real Nigga Look Like (x2)
1 2 Step Teddy Bells On Foot Right
Holla At Me 'fore You Tell A Nigga Goodnight
I Know You From The Country
Come And Show Me What You Cook Like
Come To The Crib I Got A Person To Cook Iight
And I Know Alot Of Niggas Say The Same Thing
But That's Cause They Trynna Be Just Like Me
But I'm Icy I Never Been Dull
Unless I'm In The Court Room In Front Of The Judge
And That Ain't Never Gone Happen
We Can Get It Cracking
You Ain't Gotta Worry About Me Skipping Off
Baby If You With It
Then We Can Gone And Kick It Off
Cause You Ain't Gotta Really Worry About Nothing At All
So Tell Me If You With It
Know That I Ain't Never Bullshitting
Go Ahead And Give A Nigga The Business I Got To Go
(Hook)
Girl I Got to Go
If You Not Busy Baby
Come With Me Flying On My Airplane
Ain't Gotta Say No More
Unless I'm Sitting High On 26's
Girl That's About The Samething
Girl I Got To Go
You Can Get The Gas Now
Let Me See That Ass Bounce Girl
You Ain't Gotta Say No More
Go Around The World With The Best Of Them
Not Worried About The Rest Of Them Girl
(Verse 2)
Come Here Bitch Let Me Show You What A Foul Mouth Nigga Is
Let Me Show You What A Down South Nigga Is
Grits And Eggs Tits And Legs Thick As Bread
I Ain't Know How You Was
But I Figured It Was Gone Be Like This
I Like This
Tattoos From Your Ankle To Your White Wrist
Drop A Top So Far In A White Whip
Dark Chocolate Bar You Can Bite This
See Like This A Movie
Keep Running From Your Feelings
You'll Eventually Fall Like A White Bitch
And I Know You Wanna Do Me
I Ain't Trynna Be Nasty
I'm Way To Fly Where My Kite Bitch
My Bad I Ain't Trynna Be Cussing
No Disrespect That's Just How I Does It
Lil Bentley Rims With The Buttons
Lets Go Get So Food Or Something
(Hook)
Girl I Got To Go
If You Not Busy Baby

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.

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.
Amazing

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.
