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
Talk of Tony Yayo, go

We became involved in it and we developed a close relationship because of it
It's no pretend shit, it's friendship, me nemisis is su nemisis
Our friendship is not fake, it's real. If someone is my enemy, then they are also his enemy
The same for him, it's just media, see to them it's just images
The media perceives our relationship as fake and only concerns about what they see in pictures and videos
But this shit is no gimmicks, this is blood in and blood out
Our friendship is real and can be compared to that of a brotherhood, with loyalty to each other no matter what
When it's beef you just gotta know when to butt in and butt out
When there is a conflict, it's important to know when to get involved and when to stay out of it

If there is an issue, we always try to solve it, and if we can't find a solution, we move on

Usually, the conflicts escalate into fights and everyone who is part of our team gets involved in it
We should all get a merit, this much beef we inherit
We deserve recognition for dealing with so many conflicts and issues that we didn't create
And wear it like a badge with honour, pass it around and share it
We should be proud of how well we handle these conflicts, and share that 'badge of honor' among us
And let it go to whoevers holdin' the most current beef on their shoulders
We pass the responsibility of handling the latest conflict to the person who is most affected or knowledgeable
And their soldiers got their backs till it's over
Our team members give complete support to the person who is handling the conflict, until the issue is resolved
But tonight, we ain't comin' here to beef with nobody
We didn't come here to start any conflicts or fights with anyone

So it's Shady After-mizz-ath back in that ass, you izz-ass
We are back in the game with all of our strength and power, ready to take on anyone who opposes us
Come hizzon what kinda fizz-uckin' position is that
What kind of stupid and helpless situation are you in right now?
Pistol play, ricochet, see where the victim lay
We use guns and weapons, and shoot at someone and watch where they fall
Slumped over bleedin', JFK
Their body falls and bleeds, in a way that makes them look like JFK after he was shot
HK to your chest plate
We will shoot you with a specific gun that will directly hit your chest
Cave out and ride till the death, do you rep that way?
Go all out and fight until the end, do you have the courage to do that?
Forever I'm a be a Shady 7-4 Gangster
I am always going to be a proud member of the Shady 7-4 Gang
Plus I survived everything you got in that chamber
I have survived all of your attempts to hurt or kill me, no matter what weapon you use
I thrived off of danger, jumpin' in all beef
I enjoy taking risks and getting involved in conflicts
You keep talkin' shit, now the squad called me
If you keep talking nonsense, my crew is going to call me and then you will be in trouble
Enough holdin' back the steam, Em let off a magazine
We are done playing nice, Eminem is going to start fighting and using his gun
Dappadon Cappa-queens, mixed in with Cashis creams
We have come together as a group with people from different places and different styles
Started off with half a dream, developed into what you see
We started with just a small goal, and now we have grown into a successful group with a big impact
Tellin' ain't my cup of tea, can't tell I'm a fuckin' G
I don't like to gossip or reveal secrets, and you can't tell that I am a gangster just by looking at me
I'm a hold a 'matic, when I'm at it, start static and you splattered
I am going to hold my gun and start a fight, and if you get too close you will be shot
Shit shattered, I'm a walkin' bitch magnet
I have the power to attract and impress women, even with my violent and dangerous lifestyle
Spit it how I live it, live it all the way to the limit
I rap about the life I live, and I push myself to the limit in everything I do
And I'm always on my pivot for my digits, you dig it
I am always alert and focused on making money, do you understand it?
Shady, G-Unit, Aftermath, Lloyd Banks, Cashis, Marshall Mathers, Ferrari F-50, It's a movement, you can't stop it
Our group has a lot of power and we are a force to be reckoned with, and nobody can stop us

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.
