Don't Get Captured Lyrics – Run The Jewels

Soundtrack Album: Invincible (TV Series)

Don't Get Captured Text

[Killer Mike:]
Hello from a Little Shop of Horrors
Ski mask like a Phantom of the Opera
Go cold like the land of Chicago
Child soldiers sprayin' the chopper
But you don't give a f**k, that's them though
'Til a peasant put a pistol in your window
You ain't really need that chain
You ain't really need that ring
You ain't really need them thangs
Snow on The Bluff showed up
With the slums in the city blown up
Now the white folks showed up
Everything bought sold up
Niggas assed out, niggas po'd up
Politicians so corrupt, sold our black ass out
Really ain't color, my brother
Here in cabbage town they put they white-ass out
Truth been told, I'm out

[Killer Mike (El-P):]
He in here, me in here, we in here
(Don't get captured)
No cryin' here, just do your dirt and disappear
(Don't get captured)
Then lay it low, take it slow and reappear
(Don't get captured)
Return to us victorious, smoke pounds of kush
(Don't get captured)

[El-P:]
Good day from the house of the haunted
Get a job, get a house, get a coffin
Don't stray from the path, remain where you at
That maximizes our profit
Is that blunt? Oh well, hell, so's this boot
We live to hear you say "please don't shoot"
A pure delight, c'mon, make my night
When I file reports what's right's what I write
Snuff films air all night 'till your last sane thought take flight
What a great sight, what a job, what a good life
The more we act wrong the more we are right
And who exactly gon' stop what we got?
We don't argue, we are not calm and impartial
Some call it work, but it's more like an art
We just paint the walls with your heart
And we better not catch you

[Killer Mike (El-P):]
He in here, me in here, we in here
(Don't get captured)
No cryin' here, just do your dirt and disappear
(Don't get captured)
Then lay it low, take it slow and reappear
(Don't get captured)
Return to us victorious, smoke pounds of kush
(Don't get captured)

[Killer Mike (El-P):]
Don't get captured
(Don't get captured)
Don't get captured
(Don't get captured)
Don't get captured
(Don't get captured)

Song Facts: Album: Featured in the soundtrack for the "Invincible (TV Series)". Genre: The song "Don't Get Captured" is in the genre of some seductive hip-hop mixed with the edge of sharp lyrics and heavyweight beats, as identified. Lyricists & Composers: This Run The Jewels duo (Killer Mike and El-P) Annotations and Meaning: Run The Jewels' "Don't Get Captured" critiques the eye-opening critique of everything gone wrong within society. Speaks to social injustice, systemic corruption, and the fight for life within systems of oppression. The power describes the privilege and resistance vividly in the image and commentaries. "Hello from the Little Shop of Horrors; ski mask like the Phantom of the Opera," are opening lines by Killer Mike that immediately signal danger and the need for disguise. They set the stage for a narrative that plunges into the darker sides of urban life and makes some explorative looks at societal neglect. This refers to the "land of Chicago" and "child soldiers," all in the background of the living conditions of communities destroyed by violence and poverty, suggesting the universality in children's exploitation in zones of war. In the chorus, the repeated words "don't get caught" are a double message: on one part, it evidently seems like a very adamant warning not to fall in the clutches of police or enemies, but on another level, this warning is not to get caught by the systemic injustices that are rife in society. It's a call to remain vigilant, to resist being subdued or silenced by oppressive forces. El-P's verse continued to question lines like "get a job, get a house, get a coffin," that, in other words, mean the predetermined life which is being offered will sooner or later lead to exploitation that will kill him. His is the world of dystopian reality where he will relish in the effect on the control and the suffering of the others ("We live to hear you say 'please don't shoot'"), and it is a duly noted power abuse.
