Chase Me Lyrics

Chase Me Song Lyrics


[Intro]
Here's what we know:
Two men and a woman came into the bank branch
Clad in black business clothing
Trench coats, bandannas, and sunglasses
They pulled guns out and ordered everybody to the floor
And then cleaned out the registers
And hear this—they even swiped jewelry from some of the customers

[Verse 1: El-P]
Aye, woo! Woo!
Run, Run, Run The Jewels
Gangster like you wake up in Dickies and load the clippy
The rate of our ascension makes statisticians feel sickly
Accountants, they get snippy, they never counted so quickly
Got 'em up sniffin' yak up off an abacus for a living
Crime authors, autobiographically bastards
Pain passin’, put a pain in your brain batter
Style droppin' the drums and stun all gawkers
Small talkers get launched on, clobbered and tossed off
Knock 'em on just to get rocks off
Put a pause on all of that soft talk, chop chop
Tick tock, you got until the hands on the clock stop
I'm bagging a bag, then I'm backing out, better back off

[Hook: El-P]
That's why I'm outta here, baby
Before these clowns put me down in the ground, baby
I'm running reds 'til I'm out of this town, baby
You want your money back? Chase me

[Verse 2: Killer Mike]
Jewel runner, gold dripper, flow flipper
Smoke killer, slow sipper, quick temper
Temperamental, sharp mental, departmental
Tight fellow, wouldn't want to be him, wouldn't want to see him
They the type, really be jealous, get'cha hype
Oh, Jesus, these niggas is polices
We gon' shower on these pussies, they mommas gon' know Jesus
Junkie Johnny told me "Money, these niggas should know better
But they monkeys so you got to show junkies ain't no let up"
Bad manners, the bad man'll do bad things
A bad b**ch gave me bomb head to Bad Brains
The sheriff's daughter, we be outta there 'fore dad came

[Hook: El-P]
That's why I'm outta here, baby
Before these clowns put me down in the ground, baby
I'm running reds 'til I'm out of this town, baby
You want your money back? Chase me

[Interlude: Big Boi]
You ain't gonna get your money back
Ain't gonna get the money, jack
You ain't gonna get that money back
I got the bag, it ain't coming back
You ain't gonna get your money, jack
I got the bag, it ain't coming back
You ain't gonna get your money, jack
I got the bag
[Verse 3: Big Boi]
Real grippers, pimp niggas with Gucci slippers
Coochie tippers, Magic City got groupie strippers
A crew of killers and dealers, we got this newbie with us
We turn Pirellis to jellies, ex-cons to former cellies
Stay on ready, foot on that very heavy
Good on deck, smelly smelly
Show some respect or you'll get showered like parade confetti
Made man, I'm made already, nobody safe: I'm petty
450 horse up in the Porsche, 600 in the Chevy
Buddy, I'm nutty, I've got some screws loose
And if your b**ch wants some cutty, baby, I choose you
Underground Kingz, speed and sound things
Run the sacks and be aware of all your surroundings

[Hook: El-P]
That's why I'm outta here, baby
Before these clowns put me down in the ground, baby
I'm running reds 'til I'm out of this town, baby
You want your money back? Chase me

[Outro]
Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen
Right now, I got to tell you about the fabulous, most groovy...

Song Facts:

Album: Featured in the soundtrack for the "Invincible (TV Series)".
Genre: "Chase Me" comes within the dynamic hip-hop vibe and electronic dance sound with a very energetic beat and fast rap vocal flowing.
Lyricists & Composers: El-P and Killer Mike of Run the Jewels, as well as Big Boi, bringing his characteristic style and flow of guns on this southern hustlers cut.

Annotations and Meaning:
"Chase Me" is a high-octane story with classic elements of crime fiction mingled with its own gritty, streetwise ethos. It starts up in exactly the kind of scene you might find in a classic heist movie, conjuring just the right feel for a tale of escapades and dodging the long arm of the law. So, in such an environment, the listener is quickly thrust into that thematic undercurrent of rebellion, survival, and appeal of the outlaw lifestyle.

The latter—inebriated by the former—brings up a little on his verse. He doesn't spend any time before getting to an expeditious explanation of how they moved up the ranks in crime and music, with clever wordplay and nods toward financial success and scrutiny from the powers that be, "The rate of our ascension makes statisticians feel sickly. His verses are literally abundant with imagery of a life lived precariously on the edge, always on the move and shaking off any efforts made by another to pin it down or get it classified.

The verse of Killer Mike further details more on the same theme, filling it with references to both the personal and cultural touchstones, which further illustrate the depth of defiance and resilience: "Jewel, run it, rich, spreaded, Countin' my breaded." He depicted the way of life combined with peril and glamour that would develop into a character of an untouchable rebel.

Big Boi also testified, lacing his characteristic Southern drawl with flair, probably detailing how such work was high-dollar but risky. His verse is a nod to the high stakes and high rewards, and the cunning required to stay ahead of the game.

The hooks and breaks only reinforce one key message to the listener: that its protagonists are forever a step ahead, defiant of any soul trying to catch them. The constant quote "you want your money back? Chase me" epitomizes defiance against the system, showing that they are daring and not ready to fall, showing that it is a result of being trapped or held.
