Run the Jewels
Run the Jewels Lyrics

Oh dear what the fuck have we here?
What is this situation that we have stumbled upon and why is it so chaotic and unexpected?

These motherfuckers all thorn no rose
The people involved in this situation are all aggressive and have no redeeming qualities.

Egads what a bad dream better not sleep
The situation is so nightmarish that it is better to stay awake than to risk experiencing it in a dream.

Take a No-Doz, do some blow
In order to stay awake and alert, resorting to drugs like caffeine and cocaine may be necessary.

Oh shit what the hell have we done?
The gravity of the situation is becoming clear and regret is setting in for being involved in it at all.

It's alive and it's hungry as fuck
The situation is continuing to grow and consume everything in its path.

Better hide all the snacks and the dough
In order to protect oneself from this growing danger, valuable resources should be kept hidden.

It is out of my control, you are shit out of luck
Despite any attempts to control the situation, the outcome is beyond anyone's grasp and there is no hope for a favorable outcome.

I don't wanna be unfair but the pair we got beat that weak shit you got (True God)
Without being too mean, the quality of what the other person has to offer is inferior to what we have.

Blew up the spot with that new bop
We made a major impact with a new and exciting project or performance.

Crew drops, do up ya squad without nuance
Our team is capable of taking down any opposition with precision and without hesitation.

I don't wanna sound unkind but the sounds
Although it may come across as harsh, the noises and language we use are a representation of our strength and power.

I make are the sounds of the hounds that are howlin'
The sounds we make are similar to the fierce barking and growling of hunting dogs, signaling our dominance and ferocity.

Under your bed I'm here growling
Our presence is lurking like a monster under the bed, instilling fear and dominance in our opponents.

Same time under the blanket you're cowering
While we are asserting our power, the other person is reduced to being scared and helpless like a child hiding under a blanket.

Cowering like cowards cowering on concrete showers in Rikers Island
The fear and vulnerability being exhibited is akin to that of a prisoner being intimidated in a vulnerable position.

Victims, we the wolves that's whylin'
We are the predators in this situation, seeking out and targeting our prey.

We often smile at sights of violence
The violence and chaos that we cause is almost pleasurable to us, bringing us a sense of satisfaction and control.

Acting brave and courageous ain't advantageous for health and safety
Trying to be tough and stand up to us would only put someone's well-being in danger.

So when we say run the jewels just run' em baby, please don't delay me
When we give orders, it is best to follow them quickly and without hesitation for your own safety.

And that goes for a guy or lady, the fam god damn we fuckin' crazy
Regardless of gender, our group is composed of wild and unpredictable individuals.

I'll pull this pistol, put it on your poodle or your fuckin' baby
To make a point, we are willing to use deadly force against even innocent bystanders, such as pets or children.

She clutched the pearls, said "What in the world!" and "I won't give up shit!"
Even when threatened with violence, some people will hold onto their possessions and refuse to back down.

I put the pistol on that poodle and I shot that bitch
Despite any hesitation or remorse, we are capable of following through on our violent threats.

And the crowd chants "Get that paper!"
The masses are obsessed with financial gain and material success.

And the mob says "Kill that witch!"
The public is also easily swayed by emotion and prone to violence when confronting individuals they perceive as threats.

This city get mad to the max better wave bye-de bye to the high scrapes kids
The anger and chaos in this urban environment is reaching a fever pitch and it is best for innocent bystanders to flee.

Get a tin foil hat for the rain, in
The situation is so unpredictable and chaotic that one might as well resort to superstition and paranoia for protection.

Hot water from the roof to the basement
The danger and chaos has infiltrated every part of this building or structure, from top to bottom.

I'mma smoke 'til the planet erases
The only way to cope with the hopelessness of the situation is to indulge in self-destructive behavior.

Build a white flag out of Zig Zags, wave it
Even when surrendering or admitting defeat, we are still prone to using drug paraphernalia to make a statement and maintain our image.

Often I'm smoking coffin
We resort to tobacco or drugs to numb ourselves to the reality of the situation and its consequences.

Sip lean on a bean like Boston
We indulge in a dangerous and addictive concoction of cough syrup and pills to escape reality.

My young bitch here fine like Pam Grier when she made that movie Coffy
One of our members has a beautiful and desirable partner, likening her appearance to that of a famous actress.

But when my wife's in town, ay Jackie Brown just stay up off me
Despite this, loyalty to our wives overrides any temptation or desire.

'Cause if they don't somebody get shot and they gon' buy a coffin
To betray or disrespect our wives would result in serious consequences, even death by our hands.

With the pull of a pin a grenade get a crowd to they feet and a soul to its options
With minimal effort or action, we are capable of triggering a violent and chaotic reaction from others, leading to destructive consequences.

I'm a fool for the win I been made to be loud while these other cats drowning in softness
Our main goal is to come out on top, even if it means being reckless and brash, while we view others as weak and ineffectual.

In a urn or the dirt get tossed in
The ultimate fate for those who oppose us is to die and be buried or cremated.

With a grin or a smirk get accosted
Even when we are confronted or challenged, we maintain a menacing and confident expression, knowing that we have the upper hand.

I'm a sin on the verse like a kid in a hearse or a nun in a cum shot, stop it
Our lyrics and behavior are controversial and offensive, but we refuse to back down or apologize.

Big beast in a cage with a heart full of rage, it seems I can't behave
Despite any attempts to control our impulses or emotions, we act impulsively and violently, like a caged animal with an unpredictable temperament.

You could try till you die, oh well you failed, it seems the world can't be saved
The situation is so dire and hopeless that no amount of effort or goodwill can save the world from its inevitable doom and destruction.

These streets is full with the wolves that starve for the week so they after the weak
The urban environment is teeming with ruthless predators, who prey on the vulnerable and weak to assert their dominance and power.

In a land full of lambs I am and I'll be damned if I don't show my teeth
Amidst a society that is meek and submissive, we refuse to back down or lose our aggressive and dominant nature.

Run The Jewels
Our group is in charge and everyone else must submit to our will and authority.

Run The Jewels
Again, we emphasize our power and control over the situation, telling others to run or flee in fear.
