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.
[Intro: Mac Miller]
Yo, what’s up
Right now this is Mac Miller with my homie TreeJ
You know what I’m saying it’s 4/20
Piff Jar baby getting me fucked up
High as hell, right now, so much weed in my lungs
I’m really high, it’s like a fucking movie except I can’t see cause I’m so high
Thank you TreeJ for this bomb-ass weed you hooked me up with, peace, love, more weed, blah blah blah!
Man you kids got some, you got some other stuff, man
Yeah man, yeah man. Sounds like a weed anthem right here
And if you say I make to many weed songs, I say you don’t smoke enough weed! Bitch!
[Hook: Mac Miller]
Let’s get high, high, lets get high, get high, get high, get high, get high, get high, get high, get high, get high
I wanna get high
Grab it break it, roll it up, smoking joints, smoking blunts, grab it break it roll it up, roll it up, roll it up
[Verse 1: Mac Miller]
Feel good when you go and get an O
And you wanna roll the whole thing up
A little codeine in my cup with some funk
Gon' take me up I'm trying to get lifted are you
With it cause you ain't ever been this high
Before I'mma light my weed inhale then blow that
Smoke gotta bag full of good we can toke no
Air balloon but lets float we way up in the clouds
Dancing on the stars keep breaking it down then
Rollin up cigars paper or blunt lets roll it
Vaporizer or bong or lets bowl it so gone im feelin
Home sick this chronic so explosive

Weed gunna knock me into next week
We just tryna get jetskied a bong with ice
But no Gretzky you trying to get high with me

Smoke til you feel like you gon' die with me

Come fly with me I can sing I just find the

And when I find my tree I'mma roll it up
Never ever gunna sober up if you wanna come show
Some love just smoke my drugs

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
