Style
Nas/Jay-Z Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's run, run for your life
Let's run, run for your life
Let's run, run for your life
Let's run

よくまあここまで俺たちきたもんだなと
少し笑いながら おまえ 煙草ふかしてる
何もないところから たよりなく始まって
数えきれない喜怒哀楽をともにすれば

時の流れは妙におかしなもので
血よりも濃いものを作ることがあるね

荒野を走れ どこまでも 冗談を飛ばしながらも
歌えるだけ歌おう 見るもの全部
なかなかないよ どの瞬間も

涙腺のよく似たやつが集まるもんだなと
明け方に酔いながらふと思いついても
これは一生の何分の一なのかなんて
よくできた腕時計で計るもんじゃない

約束なんかはしちゃいないよ 希望だけ立ち上ぼる
だからそれに向かって

荒野を走れ 傷ついても
心臓破りの丘を越えよう
飛べるだけ飛ぼう 地面蹴りつけて
心開ける人よ行こう

人間なんて誰だってとてもふつうで
出会いはどれだって特別だろう

だれかがまってる どこかでまっている
死ぬならひとりだ 生きるなら ひとりじゃない
だれかがまってる どこかでまっている (let's run, run for your life)
死ぬならひとりだ 生きるなら (let's run, run for your life)

荒野を走れ どこまでも
冗談を飛ばしながらも
歌えるだけ歌おう 見るもの全部
なかなかないよ どの瞬間も

荒野を走れ 傷ついても (let's run, run for your life)
心臓破りの丘を越えよう (let's run)




飛べるだけ飛ぼう 地面蹴りつけて (let's run, run for your life)
心開ける人よ行こう (let's run)

The lyrics of "Style" by Nas and Jay-Z tell a story of two friends who have come a long way from nothing to something. They reflect on the ups and downs they've experienced together and the special bond that has been created.

The two rappers talk about the power of time to create intense memories and bonds, and the fleeting nature of life.


Despite the seriousness of the themes, the song has an overall message of hope and perseverance. The refrain "Let's run, run for your life" speaks to the idea of running towards your dreams and not giving up, even when things get tough. It encourages listeners to embrace the journey rather than just the destination and to enjoy every moment along the way.


Ultimately, "Style" is a powerful song about friendship, perseverance, and the power of memories to create lasting connections. It speaks to themes that are universal and relatable, making it a classic in the hip-hop canon.
