[Verse 1: El-P]
Oh dear what the f** have we here?
These motherf**ers all thorn no rose
Egads what a bad dream better not sleep
Take a No-Doz, do some blow
Oh sh** what the hell have we done?
It's alive and it's hungry as f**
Better hide all the snacks and the dough
It is out of my control, you are sh** out of luck
I don't wanna be unfair but the pair
We got beat that weak sh** you got (true god)
Blew up the spot with that new bop
Crew drops, do up ya squad without nuance
I don't wanna sound unkind but the
Sounds I make are the sounds of the hounds that are howling
Under your bed I'm here growling
Same time under the blanket you're cowering
[Verse 2: k**er Mike]
Cowering like cowards cowering in
Concrete showers in Rikers Island
Victims, we the wolves that's wilding
We often smile at sights of violence
Acting brave and courageous
Ain't advantageous for health and safety
So when we say run the j**els
Just run 'em baby, please don't delay me
And that goes for a guy or lady
The fam god damn we f**in crazy
I'll pull this pistol
Put it on your poodle or your f**in baby
She clutched the pearls, said "What in the world!"
And "I won't give up sh**!"
I put the pistol on that poodle
And I shot that b**h
[Hook]
Run the j**els...
Run the j**els...
[Verse 3: El-P]
And the crowd chants "Get that paper!"
And the mob says "k** that witch!"
This city get mad to the max
Better wave bye-de bye to the high scrapes kids
Get a tin foil hat for the raining
Hot water from the roof to the basement
I'mma smoke 'til the planet erases
Build a white flag out of Zig Zags, wave it
[Verse 4: k**er Mike]
Often I'm smoking, coughing
Sip lean on a bean like Boston
My young b**h here fine like
Pam Grier when she made that movie Coffy
But when my wife's in town
Ay Jackie Brown just stay up off me
Cause if they don't somebody get shot
And they gon' buy a coffin
[Verse 5: El-P]
With the pull of a pin a grenade
Get a crowd to they feet and a soul to its options
I'm a fool for the win I been made
To be loud while these other cats drowning in softness
In a urn or the dirt get tossed in
With a grin or a smirk get accosted
I'm a sin on the verse like a kid in a hearse
Or a nun in a cum shot (stop it)
[Verse 6: k**er Mike]
Big beast in a cage with a heart
Full of rage, it seems I can't behave
You could try till you die, oh well
You failed, it seems the world can't be saved
These streets is full with the wolves
That starve for the week so they after the weak
In a land full of lambs I am
And I'll be damned if I don't show my teeth
[Hook]
Run the j**els...
Run the j**els...
