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.
[Intro: Redman & Oh No]
Aw man
Ha ha
Ah ha ha
Oh No, what's good baby?
What up, money?
Redman in the building, baby
Ah ha ha ha ha
Yezzir
Let's Go
Yeah! Ow! Yeah! Uh!
Funk Doc up in the building
Yo, Oh No is in the building
Ay, pass that {video game sound}
Break 'em down
[Verse 1: Oh No]
Let's go!
Yeah, break 'em down
Hey, where's your street fighters?
We run the globe and fly just to get higher
Look, I'm like Cali wind 'cause I blaze fire
The terrorizer right beside ya
Sizin' up them riders that think they get live-r
Y'all ain't live-r
Y'all chumps dead on arrival
I'll roundhouse you soon as the sound goes (final)
I go psychosomatic, damn it [?], it's my goal
Might go [?] automatic, it damage ya life
So, if anybody wanna come test out the Ox, watch
I'll put a big scar on ya chest just like Sagat got
Let my second hand grab you in the hot box
And throw you all into the door lookin' for more knock
Knock-knock, it's Doc No and the Funk Doc
Brick City, Ox City runnin' this spot hot
With Capcom, I'll cap off til' they cap's off (bam)
Cap pull [?], like a caption, then smash off
Get 'em
Hell yeah
[Chorus]
My crew don't fuck around
We'll lay you down
It can be any around
The clock is movin' now
We'll lay you down
You can hear the sound
My crew don't fuck around
We'll lay you down
[Verse 2: Redman]
Yo, now I'm hittin' emcees like ar-yu-ken (shoryuken)
In the Cadillac where I rock my music
N--- (record scratch) with an attitude, boy I'm ruthless
All in the hood, baby, actin' stupid
Boy, you're useless
I keep {video game sound} greener than Blanka
I lay 'em on they back til' the clock is time up
Yeah, you wanna fight, then line up
It's like Terminator lookin' for O'Connor
It's not for minors, it's only for the pros
Oh No, hit 'em high (Ay yo Doc, hit'em low)
I can smell beef when I walk through the door
That's why I carry the 'K like I'm solo
Yeah bro, you want problems, I'll give it to ya
And run back, tell ya block what I did to ya
Put ya ear to it, and get stomped out
Street Fighter, boy, nobody pull guns out
Let's get it
[Chorus]
[Outro: Redman & Oh No]

@[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.
