Rubble Kings Theme (Dynamite) Lyrics

Rubble Kings Theme (Dynamite) Song Lyrics


[Intro: Sample + Killer Mike]
"They're in arrogance, close-knit brotherhood like the mafia. They're the product of a sick society. To hell with tomorrow, their bag is today—their bag is right now."
I've seen AK-47s. I've seen sawed off shotguns
I've seen all of this. I've seen dynamite on the streets

[Verse 1: Killer Mike]
Surrounded by violence and murder
Say, we in the streets and we grippin' on heat
You got beef then we fryin' your burger
My shoes on my feet and my words and my balls
Is all I got, f**k with a murda
Will happen to you, I am certain
I'm certain as hell and I'm grippin' the tail of Satan himself: the serpent
We pullin' in no social service
We go in the store, they look nervous
So down me to hell, damn me to jail, like f**k you, we robbin' the merchants
The preachers sound silly in service
Convincin' my mama that all of the drama must certainly serve higher purpose
How fightin' could turn into curses
When I tell her any god that make it plenty hard really ain't worth it to worship
Man, I believe in my patches, man I believe in my fists
Man, I believe in bandanas and pistols and holdin' down, rockin' my sets
Born into turmoil and trouble, I became King of the Rubble

[Hook]
Dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy
Dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy dynamite
Dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy
Dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy dynamite
Dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy
Dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy
Dynamite on the streets
Dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy
Dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy dynamite
Dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy
Dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy dynamite
Dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy
Dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy
Dynamite on the streets

[Verse 2: El-P]
Everythin' out here is broken, or blemished and battered, and tattered, but mine
You let it burn and decay and created the kings of the cinder divine
I am done asking and pleading and begging you recognize I am alive
You are done walking inside of the section you’re treading in, there was a line
Cement block, hard rock, it don't stop, get it, get it
Your whole block's soft, it comes off like skittish b**ches
We're wolves to the bitter finish
Not full, gotta get it in, get it? get us dinner
Violators tryna finish any little sentence, we will sentence sinners
It all stinks, but where we live is where the set's sinkin'
They say sorry son accept it, same old song of the subjectors
Sorry sirs, but we don't sing along to anthems or your pledges
In your garbage rose the rulers of the restless, do not test us

[Hook]
Dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy
Dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy dynamite
Dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy
Dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy dynamite
Dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy
Dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy
Dynamite on the streets
Dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy
Dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy dynamite
Dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy
Dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy dynamite
Dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy
Dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy, dy
Dynamite on the streets

Annotations and Meaning:


From the soundtracks of "Invincible (TV Series)," the song "Rubble Kings Theme (Dynamite)" by Run The Jewels demonstrates with its powerful lyrics and the pounding beat the embodiment of the raw energy and defiance of the streets. It has subjects touching on survival, rebellion, and hard revelations about life at the fringes—themes painted against a background of decay in society and the chase for dignity.
These two lines themselves carry an embedded setting into the story. "Struggle and resilience" could literally be sited in the story as the setting. "They're in arrogance, close-knit brotherhood like the mafia. They're the product of a sick society. To hell with tomorrow, their bag is today— their bag is right now." The introduction works to frame the subjects of the song as products of their environment: conscripted into a brotherhood not by choice but by necessity; living for the moment because the future is tenuous.
That intention is vividly expressed in Killer Mike's verse: "Surrounded by violence and murder / Said, we in the streets and we grippin' on heat / You got beef then we fryin' your burger. Herein, it is not really the choice of survival but rather a continuous fight to survive; whereby the violence hangs as an ever-long danger, and retaliation becomes an art of life.

The chorus, "Djson dynamite on the streets," is the most obvious metaphor for the possible explosion of hostilities in the world of the song's personages. The repetition of "dy, dy, dy" is truly in the form of imitation for the tick of a time bomb; thus, it clearly points to their lives being explosive and danger is near.

El-P's verse picks up the same theme of struggle and defiance: "Everythin' out here is broken or blemished and battered, and tattered, but mine. Let it burn and decay and created the kings of the cinder divine." Herein, he refers to the indestructibility from among the ruins of those rising to assert sovereignty over their broken surroundings. It's a declaration of ownership and pride amidst devastation.

The song captures not their despair but their invincible spirit: "I am done asking and pleading and begging you recognize I am alive." The line fiercely portrays life and rejection to be taken for granted or easily dismissed by such a society that has sidelined them.
