I Run It

* Song borrows the beat from Eminem's "You Don't Know"

[Chorus - Chamillionaire]

They all happy about the records I sold

Now I'm back for the victory, 'bout to get on the road

They say I gotta sell records, but I ain't sellin my soul

I won't sell it for platinum and I won't sell it for gold

The game full of suckers, I know that they gotta go

Now the Chamillinator's the general in control

So when I tell you I run it, it's because I run it

And you should run from it, you know you don't want it

[Verse - Chamillionaire]

Yeah, rappers be talkin too much, just like they rap for the Feds

I got a lot of little crumbsnatchers that's after me bread

Notice that I said after, cause that is back where I left

March 27, I'm droppin, that means you have to be scared

Yeah I'm cookin up somethin, in rap I'm Dennis the Menace

I put a G periodically on the table like a chemist

My homie keep that metal right in your mouth like a dentist

The hateration is shrinkin like the amount of your minutes

On your Sidekick Motorola, your Nextel phone

They wanna know what's the business, I'ma let my neck tell homes

I drop the budget on what you might think my neck sells loans

So far you can't reach me like when your Nextel roams

Like a tunnel in Amsterdam, Cham he got a dope flow

Your flow kinda SoCo, Chamillitary's the logo

The lizard will visit, so disrespect is a no no

Cause you know the fo fo will (*brrp*) stick 'em like pogo

Pogo stick, the homoness in the industry

Got me a little shaky about every rapper that isn't me

Ask anybody out there who think that he lyrically

Killin me and he droppin quicker than a Reggie Miller 3

Step in the label and I tell 'em give me my green

Then I send in Famous and make 'em give to my team

I got that money and power kinda like Jimmy Iovine

A little more money than power so they call me "Jimmy High Cream"

Or maybe Jimmy Hakeem, they respectin me, why?

Cause my sales are above, ain't even next to the sky

I know a few backstabbers, but I'm not expectin to die

Cause I keep my eyes open like I'm expectin a knife

I run it in the underground, so y'all step to the side

It's like lightning the minute my wrist and necklace collide

Magazines sneak this in, tryna mess up my Vibe

Now 1.3 million fans will accept your reply

Cause I run it

[Chorus]

They all happy about the records I sold

Now I'm back for the victory, 'bout to get on the road

They say I gotta sell records, but I ain't sellin my soul

I won't sell it for platinum and I won't sell it for gold

The game full of suckers, I know that they gotta go

Now the Chamillinator's the general in control

So when I tell you I run it, it's because I run it

And you should run from it, you know you don't want it
