all due respect
Run The Jewels (& Travis Barker) Lyrics

This year we iller than a nun in a cumshot
We are extremely sick or impressive this year

Getting’ double penetrated in a dope spot
Being in an amazing place while enjoying a two-in-one experience

By two hard pipe hittin’ Niggas
Performed by two strong, tough, and unbeatable men

On the orders of Marcellus to the soundtrack of 2pac
To the instructions of Marcellus and the background music by 2pac

I’ll beat you to a pulp no fiction
You will be physically and mentally defeated without any exaggeration

Tarantino flow new Jules and Vincent
Following the style of Quentin Tarantino, referencing the characters Jules and Vincent from Pulp Fiction

Blow marijuana smoke no incense
Smoking weed without any cover up or disguise

Exhale in the face of innocent infants
Blowing weed smoke in the face of innocent children

On some 'Ah hah look what I did' shit
Being proud and showing off for something questionable or wrong

And if I get stopped by a crooked ass cop I'm a put a bullet in a pig
In case I am stopped by a corrupt police officer, I will shoot him

And Rin Tin Tin, ah hah hah look what I did again
A reference to the famous dog, suggesting repeating a wrong action

We the hooligans outside of school again
Being the troublemakers or outlaws outside of school

Sayin don’t be a fool never follow rules again
Encouraging defiance and not to follow rules blindly

We the bad boys bully with the fully that
We are the intimidating and armed bad guys who take control

The teachers say ain’t shit and in the need of discipline
The instructors recognize and agree that we are problematic and require discipline

We the goddamn reason for ritalin
We are the cause of the need for medication to treat ADHD

In the back of the class, twitchin’ and fidgetin’
Being disruptive and unmanageable in the classroom

Dead wrong we never got along
Being completely mistaken or false, and not being able to get along with others

We laughed at the kids that was active participants
We made jokes and bullied the children who were active participants in school

Bad boy walk right past church with the work in a bag and a bible of Gideon
Not caring about religion or morality, and carrying illegal substances with a Bible as a cover

Got suspended for bullyin' a bully
Getting suspended for bullying another bully

When I go back to class I'ma punch him in his shit again
When I return to class, I will physically attack him again

Cause you get no respect
The reason for the lack of respect

I don't flirt with greatness I wifed it in Vegas
Choosing and committing to greatness instead of just flirting with it

The shits all paid for I signed the papers
Everything is paid for and finalized

Used to date but then I made her my main bitch
Having a previous relationship but now making her the main and only one

Bought us a place on a lake with some acreage
Buying a property on a lake with a considerable amount of land

And Mike's my neighbor straight from Greatville
Having a neighbor named Mike who is originally from Greatville

Any invader get slayed and stay killed
Any intruder who enters the property will be killed and remain dead

On sovereign land, Mike fill the safe up
On his own property, Mike fills up the safe with valuables

We call when the fam get paid a great thrill
Feeling excitement when the family gets paid

Bad News Bear hug beats then creep off
Using a physical gesture of affection as a disguise for betrayal or attack

You drive a rape van
Owning and driving a vehicle that is associated with kidnapping and assault

Mullet Ray-Bans
Hairstyle and sunglasses that are considered outdated or tacky

We do Vicious
Being brutal and aggressive

You do witness
Being passive and uninvolved

You don't clap shit
Not showing appreciation or support for anything

You's a cricket
Being insignificant and unimportant

Run the J’s we don't run so much it’s all fun and games till my J’s get scuffed
Being proud and showing off sneakers, but not really running or exerting much effort until they get damaged

I'm livid, fuming, out of touch
Feeling extremely angry and disconnected

I wear sweatpants to funerals, guns to lunch
Disregarding common or formal dress codes and bringing guns to casual events

Close the blinds they got drones and mines we so close to the lie I could almost die
Being very close to the truth and being in danger of being exposed while also being under surveillance

I got no goals left but to save my mind
The only goal now is to protect and maintain one's mental health

They got more holes dug In the earth, oh my
There are already many graves dug, indicating a lot of deaths

The beat get abused like I rock a wife beater
Abusing the beat of a song by using it aggressively like a wife-beater

Drinker, fired by the company
Being fired from a job due to a drinking problem

Friday, late on the car note tryna do taxes
Being in a difficult financial situation due to late car payments and struggling with taxes

This my house it's high or the highway
This is my house and I demand respect or people can leave

I'm a thrill killer, I will test you
Being a person who enjoys taking risks and testing others

Just like daddy fuckin' left you
Being left by one's father, especially in a negative or harmful way

It’s all your fault mommy's lonely
Being blamed for one's mother's loneliness

You’re a burden, she needs rescue
Being seen as an unnecessary weight or problem, and needing help or rescue

Hey little buddy, where’s your mommy?
Asking a young child where their mother is

Call me stepdad or Uncle Johnny
Asking to be referred to as a family member even if not related

Here’s a dollar don’t follow behind me
Giving a child money and discouraging them from following

I gotta go bang out mom and auntie
Sexually assaulting one's mother and aunt

I hunt lions, tigers, rare vaginas
Claiming to hunt wild animals and exotic women

Hang where the cops seem scared to find us
Frequenting places where the police avoid or are hesitant to patrol

Pop stars peep the bars and rewind us
Even pop stars admire and listen to our music multiple times

Fuck your life but first run the diamonds
Suggesting materialism and robbing others before caring about someone's life

From the jungle (the jungle) the brothers (the brothers)
Emphasizing the origin and unity of black men

Can't relate to your first world struggles
Being unable to empathize with common issues in wealthy countries

You want safety, hugs and cuddles
Desiring basic human emotions and physical contact

IED’s will leave bloody puddles
Referring to improvised explosive devices that will leave significant bloodshed

Woke up in Nigeria
Waking up physically in Nigeria

Kicked out America
Being forced to leave or being banned from the United States

Case of malaria
Contracting a potentially deadly disease

Shit got scarier
The situation became more frightening

Got left with a gun and a pitbull terrier
Being stranded with a firearm and a dog breed known for aggression

And a note from my dad said I hope God carry ya
Receiving a message from one's father wishing for divine protection

Fought one or two wars while I made It to the shores
Surviving one or two difficult battles before making it to a safer place

Y’know back to the home of a rock in Georgia
Returning to a familiar place in Georgia

To return as a king, Michael the benevolent
Coming back as a leader with a kind and generous nature

Gold draped ridin' on the neck of an elephant
Being adorned with lavish and expensive items while riding on an elephant

Cause you get no respect
The main message and theme throughout the song
