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.
In the streets shit is fucking real out hear
No doubt
Niggas be hating
For sure
Violating
Fuck em
But you need to know
Jada's, got a, Jada's, got a gun
Niggas, clear out, bitches, duck and run
Jada's, got a, Jada's, got a gun
Niggas, clear out, bitches, duck and run
And I been had one so don't forget that
357 magnum with no kickback
Put em all in your six pack
For a big stack
And I never keep the money where I keep the clips at
Violating get you one in your throat
Still dating your heat, but me and my guns elope
When I die burry me with the totes
In case I run into a lil bit of drama where ever I go
And I won't hesitate make you levitate
Hit you with the titanium 38
And its featherweight
Bullets like good dope
High will keep 'em coming
Kill a couple niggas then everybody want 'em
Who gonna shoot and who gonna brawl
If push come to shove everybody know you gonna fall
And I got mine on me
The automaty or the forty cali or even the black glock nine homie
Jada's, got a, Jada's, got a gun
Niggas, clear out, bitches, duck and run
Jada's, got a, Jada's, got a gun
Niggas, clear out, bitches, duck and run
I got a gun with two hundred shots
I'm the reason you moved your family to a hole new other block
I got shit that could wake up the deaf
That will knock down the door and break up the steps
Don't even bother wearing a vest
'Cause these ain't the kinda slugs that's gon' get lodged in your chest
Got a night time scope that can see through the walls
So just to get shit cracking I'ma tear up you're dog
I'ma show you whats dumbing out
And you can believe whatever I shoot is coming off or coming out
And don't even try running out
'Cause the 44 mag will leave you're ass by another house
This is Jadakiss
I'm spraying everything I see in my radius
The kid stay blazing shit
Which gun is my favorite
I dunno I got 'em all from the old to the latest shit
Jada's, got a, Jada's, got a gun
Niggas, clear out, bitches, duck and run
Jada's, got a, Jada's, got a gun
Niggas, clear out, bitches, duck and run
The guns and the sneakers made jada
The bitches and the refer came later
With the money and the haters
But ima humble kid
Still put the pump in your baby mother mouth make her mumble where you live
25 years no felony I'm telling y'all
Why you think I saved it, to blow a nigga mellon off
As a young boy always carried the cap gun
And fell in love with it first time I clapped one
Now I'm a grown man more mature and pleasant
And like hitting niggas in the jaw with the dessert
And everybody gotta gun why not me
You gotta keep it on you now its just like ID
And I never seen a man cry till I seen a man shot
Fuck pride bullets is too damn hot
So if you ain't got one then you gotta run
Handle it
Or tell the whole world that
Jada's, got a, Jada's, got a gun
Niggas, clear out, bitches, duck and run
Jada's, got a, Jada's, got a gun
Niggas, clear out, bitches, duck and run
Jada's, got a, Jada's, got a gun
Niggas, clear out, bitches, duck and run
Jada's, got a, Jada's, got a gun
Niggas, clear out, bitches, duck and run
No doubt

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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,
