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.
(FBeat producing all the heat)
Blueface baby, yeah, aight
First class what I spent on the shoes
Baguettes guaranteed I'm getting this boo
Ooh ooh, baby blow it like soup
I'm so hot I get paid to be cool
First class what I spent on the shoes
Baguettes guaranteed I'm getting this boo
Ooh ooh, baby blow it like soup
I'm so hot I get paid to be cool
You not from my set then get out my section
Fuck your birthday, my presence is a present
What's a dollar to a nigga with a million?
Bought it just to compensate for her feelings
Broken hearts, Gucci heels just to heal it
She gon' have to deal with whoever I deal with
They say it's cheaper to keep her
I'm too rich for a commitment
I'm a man with a mansion
Can't forget to mention handsome
Never ran with a random
My pinky ring look like a Samsung
My only outcome is income
You fucked my bitch, nigga which one?
Huh? Which one?
Huh? Which one? (Yeah, 'aight)
First class what I spent on the shoes
Baguettes guaranteed I'm getting this boo
Ooh ooh, baby blow it like soup
I'm so hot I get paid to be cool
First class what I spent on the shoes
Baguettes guaranteed I'm getting this boo
Ooh ooh, baby blow it like soup
I'm so hot I get paid to be cool
I love the drip, I get paid to be cool
She love to strip, make it shake for the blues
My car drop, it ain't come with a roof
Porsche socks and it came with the coupe
I fucked her last night, she was the truth
First class flight, I flew out your boo
Her head right but that pussy was loose
Told her hitchhike when I bought her some boots
Rich nigga, we been eatin' at Ruth's
Five-star dinner for the mu-fuckin' crew
That's a rental, that's why ain't nobody fooled
Shot your Sprinter up, you know how we do
Southside nigga and the color is blue
One on one, I ain't come here to lose
Gunna Gunna bought a new Jimmy Choo
In the penthouse fuckin' hoes by the twos
Told 'em get out, called a whole 'nother group
I brought the mic out, I ain't go in the booth
Ain't tryna fight it out, I'ma just shoot
Three thousand dollars what I spent on the shoes
First class what I spent on the shoes
Baguettes guaranteed I'm getting this boo
Ooh ooh, baby blow it like soup
I'm so hot I get paid to be cool
First class what I spent on the shoes
Baguettes guaranteed I'm getting this boo
Ooh ooh, baby blow it like soup
I'm so hot I get paid to be cool
I'm so hot I get paid to be cool
20 or better just for me to walk through
Red bottoms but I'm painting them blue
These ain't Louis Vuitton's, these Christian Loub's
Bar Mitzvah on me, nothin' but jewels
Baguettes guaranteed I'm getting this boo
Baby blowin' dick just like a flute
Mmm, mmm, mmm, ooh, ooh
Play with the dick just like peek-a-boo
Walk in the club and I pick a boo
Fuck 'em both 'cause I don't wanna choose
They gon' holla for a dollar
Fuck it, I'm rich, bitch
I bought the ugly Balenciagas
Prada always fix the problem
Glock knock him out, designer
First class what I spent on the shoes
Baguettes guaranteed I'm getting this boo
Ooh ooh, baby blow it like soup
I'm so hot I get paid to be cool
First class what I spent on the shoes

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
