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.
Yeah
Haha

They ain't got it, they ain't got it like we do
Getting' honeys smoking piffs stackin' cream too
It's just the life of a PA hustla, and ya'll mu'fuckas bustas
They ain't got it, they ain't got it like we do
Getting honies smoking piffs stackin cream too
It's just the life of a PA hustla, and ya'll mu'fuckas bustas
[Verse 1]
Ok you're a goon, what's a goon with no profit?
Broke as fuck sittin with an empty wallet
One dude lemme come in boy I got this
Everybody jumpin' around like it's a mosh pit
I drop that hot shit, you drop nonsense
And my money long like the center for the rockets
I get that cronic, that cali weed roll a swisher pass to me
Smash a beat, work of art, masterpiece
Game on lock and key, nobody's stopping me
Got some haze and Patrón, bout to pop a bean
Now I'm rollin' like a 16 wheeler, and my money fat like its 16th meal bra
Your favorite rapper's, favorite rapper, that's the game I'm after
Getting cheese like we play the packers cake and batter
So be careful for your hook to the IV, I be, chillin in the P to the I T

[Verse 2]
My swag official like a referee no one on the plane is stayin' fresh as me
Boy I'm dressin' clean, denim jeans sittin low on my waist, and haters get a cloud of smoke blown in they face
My fam beside me, fans behind me
Sorry ma but its money over punani
I'm super fresh, make your lady lose her breath
It's hard not to take a ralphie but I'll do my best
Rock your head and do your step, move it to the left
Where you can posted up in my Gucci vest
Boy I'm getting paid, then I'm getting laid
Don't tell the hoes at the party that I'm in 11th grade!
Ain't nobody out there fresh my age and you best believe
That's why I got 20 honies sittin next to me
Child celebrity, gotta be me
Cause my swag stayin' clean like a washing machine
Fuck y'all

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
I Can't Go To Sleep

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.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
