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.
Yippy Yay Yippy Yay
Hit me on my cellular phone
Yippy Yay Yippy Yay
I'll be right back with the dope
Yippy Yay Yippy Yay
I know you niggas need some more
Take that shit from me some more
I just need to be alone
Yippy Yay Yippy Yay
Hit me on my cellular phone
Yippy Yay Yippy Yay
I'll be right back with the dope
Yippy Yay Yippy Yay
I know you niggas need some more
Take that shit from me some more
I just need to be alone
Nigga talk shit?
I'll single you out
If you've got a problem we can figure it out
I'm from H-Town, but the gold in my mouth
South-side niggas put a hole in your house
A hole in your spouse
Better think twice before you open you mouth
It's getting real close to the first of the month
Niggas hit licks, bit of gas in the blunt
Send em to the dock gotta open them up
Niggas load guns in the back of the truck
Niggas chase money 'til they laced with gold
Gotta get a gun for your hateful foes
Flex too hard and your casket close
You don't want your momma come and get you from the morgue
Tall white T, blood on the floor
Oh, don't say that
Yippy Yay Yippy Yay
Hit me on my cellular phone
Yippy Yay Yippy Yay
I'll be right back with the dope
Yippy Yay Yippy Yay
I know you niggas need some more
Take that shit from me some more

Yippy Yay Yippy Yay
Hit me on my cellular phone
Yippy Yay Yippy Yay
I'll be right back with the dope
Yippy Yay Yippy Yay
I know you niggas need some more
Take that shit from me some more
I just need to be alone
I feel like Master P
I ain't gonna say they lame, no one try to master me
I'm getting tested, tested, but nobody passing me
That sugar coated shit don't need them extra calories
Ace in the machine, that's why we work inside the factory
Pull up my phone display, like it's a gallery
Go and get your salary
Gold on me like it's alchemy
Gave them niggas the battery
When they witness the mastery
Don't say that, don't talk to me, we don't play that
They got shot for me, and they idolize, like it's pottery
Got a squad full of fucking oddities, I got squash, apricots, and broccoli
We turn weird shit to a commodity
I'm on a odyssey for real quality
Yippy Yay Yippy Yay
Hit me on my cellular phone
Yippy Yay Yippy Yay
I'll be right back with the dope
Yippy Yay Yippy Yay
I know you niggas need some more
Take that shit from me some more

Hit me on my cellular phone
Yippy Yay Yippy Yay
I'll be right back with the dope
Yippy Yay Yippy Yay
I know you niggas need some more
Take that shit from me some more
I just need to be alone
I look like a Somali pirate (don't say that!)
Failed middle school and college (don't say that!)
Daddy say I'm an asshole (don't say that!)
Dick complexion of a Backwoods (ew, don't say that)
She take me, dry as the Sahara
After she get in that Casa Merlyn
I was in that mouth like flouride
That pussy tight, as a hair tie
Scrunchie, I'm so horny baby, bitch your house, pussy baby
When I get the munchies I still, I don't share roaches baby
Rolling with the good haircut Bum with a good haircut
Mattress and magic dick
Yippy Yay Yippy Yay

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
