Adrenaline Rush
Jay-Z feat. Twista Lyrics

What happens when you combine the darkness with the light?
Reflecting on the power created by merging opposites.

I'm bringing pain like two bad nurses
Bringing massive pain to enemies, using analogy of bad nurses who make mistakes.

And the pain from these here, motherfuckin' verses
Causing pain via brutal lyrics and rhymes.

Ridiculous thirstses involving hearses to the dirt, shit
Thirst for revenge that will lead to funerals and graves.

First picks and use 'n autos to work with slugs to the shirt, shit
Choosing firearms and bullets that will leave devastating wounds.

(Just to squirt shit)
Making it clear it's all about causing maximum damage.

A wicked hit with an expert kick and burst 'til the earth split
Delivering a powerful blow that shakes the ground.

Leave you hurt bitch, show you how worser than worst
Inflicting severe pain that demonstrates superiority over enemies.

Get in the zone, see the vein when the pain repel
Focusing to a point where pain has no impact, allowing for more lethal action.

And then they closin' the curtains, bitch
Enemies will perish without ever seeing the light again.

(When adrenaline's pumpin')
Describing the intense feeling of adrenaline driving action and violence.

I don't understand discussion, only hear certain shit
Closing off opinions and perspectives that don't fit with one's approach to life and violence.

I'm a misunderstood nigga and I'm off my square high
Feeling like a misfit who is unapproachable, possibly due to drug use.

Got me reversin' clips and dispersin' shit
Loading and unloading firearms quickly to maximize damage.

What can I say to make you see how the fuck I feel
Expressing frustration with inability to communicate feelings.

To make me wanna jump off of the edge
Feeling so overwhelmed by emotions that suicide seems like an option.

I'm charged off of suckers gettin' shot up off the ledge
Fueled by the sight of enemies getting injured or killed.

No pain, instead of 'caine I took a blunt off to the head
Using marijuana as a painkiller instead of cocaine.

(So tell me what it said)
Inviting someone to share the effects of marijuana.

Retaliate with lethal repercussion, I feel the reefer rushing
Promising to avenge enemies with deadly force, boosted by marijuana.

To go into thangs, like it's a wicked stick
Engaging in dangerous and violent situations without hesitation.

Took the Benadryl, hot like I'm fin' ta steal
Taking medication to feel energized and ready for illegal activity.

To get the kickin' shit for niggaz and bitches that I kick it with
Preparing to do illegal activities with friends and associates.

I was born to get you pumped up
Suggesting that his purpose is to create excitement and adrenaline in others.

It's like some lead bust 'cause I give motherfuckers a head rush
Comparing his impact to a gunshot, but instead causing an adrenaline rush in listeners.

Then yo' head bust when you jumped up
Causing such excitement that it feels like one's head might explode.

(Let your adrenaline rush)
Encouraging listeners to embrace the adrenaline and excitement of the music.

'Cause what I said must've got you geeked, my eyes red puffed
Assuming that listeners are excited and possibly high from the music.

From smokin' shit that niggaz hit on to die
Smoking marijuana that is so strong it could kill someone.

Make me wanna slip the clip on the side
Feeling like it's time to load the gun and get ready for violence.

And if you act like a bitch on the side
Threatening violent action against anyone who shows fear or weakness.

If we have to then the whole Westside'll
Ready to involve their whole community in violence if necessary.

Let the shit go on and ride when the trigga bust
Ready to engage in violent activity and let it play out.

Like when a motherfucker have to go and pick up the pump
Comparing the need for violence to the obligation to pick up a firearm.

To make his opposition chest kick up and jump
Intending to shoot someone so that their body reacts violently.

When you lit up the gun to make your body get up and uhh
Describing the physical reaction to using a firearm.

So turn the bass, kick up and bump
Encouraging listeners to turn up the volume and feel the music.

And let the rhythm hit off the trunk
Enjoying the feeling of a powerful sound system.

Pullin' up and bailin' out like we're carsick, I'm ready to start shit
Arriving in a car, ready to cause trouble and violence.

Start up buryin' some heads like an ostrich
Threatening to kill enemies and bury them.

And unload the whole cartridge and throw the shells in the garbage
Emptying a gun clip and disposing of the evidence.

The hardest of motherfuckers could never achieve
Claiming to be more powerful and successful than anyone.

What I've accomplished
Acknowledging one's violent achievements.

Yungbuck's my accomplice
Referring to another person as a partner in violence.

Located his existence with my sixth sense like a compass
Claiming to have an intuition that guides one to their violent partners.

And starting on a journey established to stop this
Describing their violent path as a mission to end something.

Rushing up the hearts of other niggaz to get 'em charged
Using violence to excite others and bring them into the fray.

What's the real reason?
Asking why enemies are targeting them for violence.

All you haters try to murder me so now it's kill season
Reacting violently to perceived hate and attempted murder.

And even though I'm still bleedin'
Acknowledging injuries but still continuing with violence.

I'm comin' after you cause I'm still breathin'
Promising revenge even after being injured.

And y'all can't trace me
Feeling confident in one's ability to evade capture.

I bury my victims in the wall like Gacey, too lyrical
Describing a violent act, referencing a notorious serial killer.

And since its nipple my umbilical these flows is critical
Describing art (music) as the life force that keeps them going.

My music is miracle like I'm biblical
Feeling like their music is extra special and has a magical quality.

Killin' like I'm nuttier than buddy love
Engaging in extreme violence, possibly referencing a character from a movie.

And still wouldn't leave a bloody glove and start the truck up
Threatening violence and then leaving the scene afterwards.

And speed the fuck up getaway smokin' this blunt
Getting high to numb the effects of violence and then quickly leaving the scene.

Dump the adrenaline eruptin' my veins I'm pumped up
Feeling the intense adrenaline rush that comes from violence.

And I'm calibrated at 360 degrees
Feeling like they are fully prepared to handle any situation.

See that's 300 niggaz that's gon die about 60 slugs to do this deed
Planning to kill many people using only a few bullets each.

(Psycho Drama)
Tagging the end with a reference to a group known for violent lyrics.

We too much for the industrialistic fuck
Boasting about being too powerful for society's rules and norms.

With this on the brink of fuckin' up some shit
Acknowledging the violent tendencies that could lead to a destructive outcome.

Dismantle, deduct some shit
Intending to break down something or someone, possibly through violence.

It's hard to imagine what niggaz got nerves to do
Appalled by the outrageous actions of their enemies.

(What niggaz got nerves to do)
Repeating previous line for emphasis.

So I guess I'll just take that fuckin' nerve from you
Promising to forcefully take the confidence from their enemies.

Then think what I'm on the verge to do
Hesitating before committing to a violent act.

And I got the urge to ooh, let semi close yo curtains fool
Feeling an intense urge to engage in violence and leave enemies dead.

From killin' the verses fool, I be one of the worstest dude
Feeling like their violent lyrics make them one of the most dangerous people around.

(You, the who?)
Asking who would dare challenge their violent prowess.

I'm the worstest workin' about 9 millimeters above your surface
Feeling like they are the deadliest person around, with their gun always at the ready.

Unleash these thangs then I defeat yo purpose, bitch you hurtin'
Threatening to hurt enemies so badly that they can never achieve their goals again.

Let your adrenaline rush
Repeating the refrain to end the song.
