Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who run it? You know, you actin' like you don't know
We run it, you do know but you actin' like you don't know
Who run it? You know, you actin' like you don't know
We run it, you do know but you actin' like you don't know
You know, you actin' like you don't know
I tear the club up fo' sho
You do know but actin' like you don't know
Now homie I say I run (it run) it 'cause I'm in control
Hypnotic, Hennessey, a couple shots of Patron
I have you feelin' aight, I get you high as a kite
Party poppin' shorty said she's comin' with me tonight
I ain't shoulder leanin', I ain't snappin' and poppin'
Either I'm bobbin' my head or I'm just standin' there watchin'
I'm a hustler, I hustle, you can tell that I'm paid
And I protect what I got, I'm in the house with my blade
Nigga you front you gon' get it, ok now maybe I said it
'cause I want you triddip, yeah I be on that shiddit
You should see when I'm stuntin' I flash the stones that be wantin'
Push the whip see me rollin', you can tell that I'm holdin'
I'm just doin' my thang, you know The Units the game
I got my grimy Shady with me
You front you'll have to get me off your ass
I pay the lawsuit and laugh, it's not a big deal
It's nuttin' but some cash
You know, you actin' like you don't know
I tear the club up fo' sho
This flow is gon' bring more dough
You do know but actin' like you don't know
You know, you actin' like you don't know
I tear the club up fo' sho
This flow is gon' bring more dough
You do know but actin' like you don't know
When me and Fif' got together to do this music then move it
We became enveloped we just developed a fellowship through it
It's no pretend shit, it's friendship, me nemisis is su nemisis
The same for him, it's just media, see to them it's just images
But this shit is no gimmicks, this is blood in and blood out
When it's beef you just gotta know when to butt in and butt out
If there's a problem we solve it, if we don't resolve it
It usually just evolves into one big brawl and we all get involved in it
We should all get a merit, this much beef we inherit
And wear it like a badge with honour, pass it around and share it
And let it go to whoevers holdin' the most current beef on their shoulders
And their soldiers got their backs till it's over
But tonight, we ain't comin' here to beef with nobody
We came to party, Banks, Cashis and Mr. Ferrari
So it's Shady After-mizz-ath back in that ass, you izz-ass
Come hizzon what kinda fizz-uckin' position is that
You know, you actin' like you don't know
I tear the club up fo' sho
This flow is gon' bring more dough
You do know but actin' like you don't know
You know, you actin' like you don't know
I tear the club up fo' sho
This flow is gon' bring more dough
You do know but actin' like you don't know
Pistol play, ricochet, see where the victim lay
Slumped over bleedin', JFK
HK to your chest plate
Cave out and ride till the death, do you rep that way?
Forever I'm a be a Shady 7-4 Gangster
Plus I survived everything you got in that chamber
I thrived off of danger, jumpin' in all beef
You keep talkin' shit, now the squad called me
Enough holdin' back the steam, Em let off a magazine
Dappadon Cappa-queens, mixed in with Cashis creams
Started off with half a dream, developed into what you see
Tellin' ain't my cup of tea, can't tell I'm a fuckin" G
I'm a hold a 'matic, when I'm at it, start static and you splattered
Shit shattered, I'm a walkin' bitch magnet
Spit it how I live it, live it all the way to the limit
And I'm always on my pivot for my digits, you dig it
You know, you actin' like you don't know
I tear the club up fo' sho
This flow is gon' bring more dough
You do know but actin' like you don't know
You know, you actin' like you don't know
I tear the club up fo' sho
This flow is gon' bring more dough
You do know but actin' like you don't know
You know what this is
Shady, G-Unit, Aftermath,
Lloyd Banks, Cashis, Marshall Mathers, Ferrari F-50,
It's a movement, you can't stop it

The song "You don't know" by 50 Cent/Ca$his/Eminem/Lloyd Banks is a rap song that exudes an aura of dominance and claims that "we run it" as the hook repeats multiple times. The lyrics come from a desire to be on top and successful in every aspect of their lives. As in any other gangster rap songs, the lyrics highlight guns, violence, and luxury cars. The verses of the rap song are divided into three parts, with 50 Cent and Lloyd Banks taking the first two, while Ca$his and Eminem take the final verse.
The first part of the song expresses 50 Cent's dominance and control as he claims to run the music industry. He mentions that he can get anyone high as a kite and draw crowds to the club. Lloyd Banks depicts his friendship with Eminem and Ca$his as something more significant than the music itself. Instead, the relationship they have is based on respect and trust, which leads to the second verse, where Cashis and Eminem come in.
The third part of the song emphasizes the dangers of being in gangster rap, with Ca$his and Eminem expounding on their affiliation with Shady, Cashis telling it how he lives it, and Eminem rapping about his resilience and his survival instincts. The hook is repeated continuously, emphasizing that they are the ones in control and that they cannot be stopped.

Shady! Yeah
Introducing the Shady team
Who run it? You know, you actin' like you don't know
We are the ones in charge here, but you're pretending you don't know
We run it, you do know but you actin' like you don't know
We are the ones running this game, and you know it, but you're pretending otherwise
I tear the club up fo' sho
I am going to wreck this club tonight
This flow is gon' bring more dough
My rap style is going to make me even more money
Now homie I say I run (it run) it 'cause I'm in control
I'm in charge here, and everything runs smoothly because of me
Hypnotic, Hennessey, a couple shots of Patron
I like to drink and party, and I'll get you into that mood too
I have you feelin' aight, I get you high as a kite
I'll make sure you're having a great time and feeling great
Party poppin' shorty said she's comin' with me tonight
A beautiful girl wants to party with me tonight
I ain't shoulder leanin', I ain't snappin' and poppin'
I'm not doing any trendy dance moves, just enjoying the moment
Either I'm bobbin' my head or I'm just standin' there watchin'
I'm either nodding along to the music or just observing the party
I'm a hustler, I hustle, you can tell that I'm paid
I'm a hard worker and you can see that I'm successful
And I protect what I got, I'm in the house with my blade
I'll do whatever it takes to protect what is mine, and I'm not afraid to use my weapon
Nigga you front you gon' get it, ok now maybe I said it
If you try to act tough, you'll regret it, maybe I shouldn't have said it so bluntly
'cause I want you triddip, yeah I be on that shiddit
I want you in trouble, yeah I like to start drama
You should see when I'm stuntin' I flash the stones that be wantin'
When I'm showing off my wealth, the people who are envious can see it
Push the whip see me rollin', you can tell that I'm holdin'
When I drive my car, you can tell that I have money and power
I'm just doin' my thang, you know The Units the game
I'm just doing what I do best, and The Units is the game we're playing
I got my grimy Shady with me
I have my loyal and shady associates with me
You front you'll have to get me off your ass
If you mess with me, you'll have to deal with the consequences
I pay the lawsuit and laugh, it's not a big deal
If I have legal issues, I'll take care of them and move on with my life
It's nuttin' but some cash
It's just money, nothing too serious
When me and Fif' got together to do this music then move it
When 50 Cent and I teamed up to make music, we also created a movement
We became enveloped we just developed a fellowship through it
We got really involved and formed a close bond through our music
It's no pretend shit, it's friendship, me nemisis is su nemisis
Our relationship is not fake, it's real friendship, and my enemies are his enemies too
The same for him, it's just media, see to them it's just images
For 50 Cent, it's the same, the media just sees us as images
But this shit is no gimmicks, this is blood in and blood out
Our friendship is not a gimmick, it's a bond that we're committed to for life
When it's beef you just gotta know when to butt in and butt out
During conflicts, you have to know when to get involved and when to step back
If there's a problem we solve it, if we don't resolve it
If there's an issue, we will work to solve it, and if we can't, we'll accept it
It usually just evolves into one big brawl and we all get involved in it
It often turns into a massive fight and we all get caught up in it
We should all get a merit, this much beef we inherit
We should all get a medal for how much drama we've had to deal with
And wear it like a badge with honour, pass it around and share it
We should wear our difficult experiences like a badge of honor and share them with each other
And let it go to whoevers holdin' the most current beef on their shoulders
Whoever is dealing with the most drama right now should handle it
And their soldiers got their backs till it's over
And our allies will support us until the conflict is resolved
But tonight, we ain't comin' here to beef with nobody
But tonight, we're not looking for any conflicts
We came to party, Banks, Cashis and Mr. Ferrari
We're here to have fun and party, along with Banks, Cashis, and Mr. Ferrari
So it's Shady After-mizz-ath back in that ass, you izz-ass
We're back in charge, and we're going to remind you of that
Come hizzon what kinda fizz-uckin' position is that
What kind of position are you in right now?
Pistol play, ricochet, see where the victim lay
Shots are fired, and we need to see where the person was hit
Slumped over bleedin', JFK
They're lying there bleeding, like JFK after he was shot
HK to your chest plate
I'll shoot you in the chest with a gun
Cave out and ride till the death, do you rep that way?
Will you keep fighting until the very end, is that your style?
Forever I'm a be a Shady 7-4 Gangster
I'll always be a Shady 7-4 Gangster
Plus I survived everything you got in that chamber
I've survived every attack, every attempt you've made on my life
I thrived off of danger, jumpin' in all beef
I enjoy dangerous situations and will get involved in any conflict
You keep talkin' shit, now the squad called me
If you keep talking trash, my associates will come after you
Enough holdin' back the steam, Em let off a magazine
I can't hold back anymore, so I'm shooting my gun
Dappadon Cappa-queens, mixed in with Cashis creams

We started with humble beginnings, but look at us now
Tellin' ain't my cup of tea, can't tell I'm a fuckin'' G
I don't gossip or snitch, you can tell I'm a true gangster
I'm a hold a 'matic, when I'm at it, start static and you splattered
I'm going to use my gun, start causing trouble and possibly harm you
Shit shattered, I'm a walkin' bitch magnet
Everything falls apart around me, but I still attract beautiful women
Spit it how I live it, live it all the way to the limit
I talk about how I really live, and I live life to the fullest
And I'm always on my pivot for my digits, you dig it
I'm always aware of my money and how I can make more, do you understand?

Em’s verse “We became enveloped we just developed a fellowship through it
It's no pretend shit, it's friendship, me nemisis is su nemisis
The same for him, it's just media, see to them it's just images
But this shit is no gimmicks, this is blood in and blood out
When it's beef you just gotta know when to butt in and butt out
If there's a problem we solve it, if we don't resolve it
It usually just evolves into one big brawl and we all get involved in it
We should all get a merit, this much beef we inherit
And wear it like a badge with honour, pass it around and share it”
Still highlights how they got each others back for more than 2 decades.
