Run The Jewels The Ground Below

Run The Jewels have been enjoying quite the year thus far, with a critically acclaimed and culturally relevant project under their belt in RTJ4. And that’s not quite where they’ve opted to draw the line, having contributed new music to both the Cyberpunk 2077 soundtrack and now, a reimagining of “The Ground Below” billed as the “Royal Jewels Mix.” In essence, there isn’t much in the way of new ground being trodden here, but rather an added oomph by way of Royal Blood’s addition.

Here, they bring an added dose of genre-bending charm, the likes of which can be hit or miss depending on the listener. But for those amendable to such crossover events — the likes of which El-P and Killer Mike are no stranger to — this Royal Jewels Mix should prove to be a welcome addition to the catalog. Here, they bring a little bit of defiant edge as they flip the original’s chorus, their cries of “your love never meant much to me” resonating even further — depending on personal preference, of course.

Lyrics

[Chorus: El-P, Killer Mike & Mike Kerr]
You say that you don’t love me (Ayy)
I’m guessin’ I’ma be okay
You say that you don’t feel me now
I feel like I’ma live somehow
Your love never meant much to me
Love never meant much to me (R-T-J)
Your love never meant much to me (The God)

[Verse 1: Killer Mike]
The God killer, this Tokyo and I’m Godzilla
Playing blackjack versus death, gun on the card dealer
Just bought a Demon, I’m screamin’ up out the car dealer
The last temptation of Mike, but I’m a god figure
Tell Beelzebub that the God don’t need a job
And if I did, the oligarchs would be missing, murdered and robbed
This is Bonaparte and he paired with Toussaint
And they went on a world conquest, tearing your bone apart
Michael remained murderous, but still virtuous
Wait to kill the petty and foul at the church services
Not a holy man, but I’m moral in my perverseness
So I support the sex workers unionizing their services

[Chorus: Mike Kerr & El-P]
You say that you don’t love me (Ayy)
I’m guessin’ I’ma be okay
You say that you don’t feel me now
I feel like I’ma live somehow
Your love never meant much to me
Love never meant much to me
Love never meant much to me
Your love never meant much

[Verse 2: El-P]
Born from the ether, I just appeared out a cloud of reefer
Screamin’ “Fuck the world,” it can drink what’s coming out my urethra
I’ll slap a dying child, he don’t pronounce my name correct
Rules have gotta be rules, any exceptions and I’m not a leader
Think in the box, I’m not getting my fix, then shit is iffy
Felate a donut hole wife don’t get to the crib and quickly
I’ll watch my mouth when I’m finished watching y’all suck clout
Don’t doubt you put an ounce of that evil on me, I’m flippin’, Ricky
I give a inch to you simps, I’ll never forgive me
Not saying it’s a conspiracy, but you’re all against me
You see a future where Run the Jewels ain’t the shit
Cancel my Hitler-killing trip
Turn the time machine back around a century

[Chorus: Mike Kerr & El-P]
You say that you don’t love me (Ayy)
I’m guessin’ I’ma be okay
You say that you don’t feel me now
I feel like I’ma live somehow
Your love never meant much to me
Love never meant much to me
Love never meant much to me
Your love never meant much

[Break: Mike Kerr]
Much, much, much, much
Much, much, much, much
Much, much, much, much
Much, much, much, much

[Outro: Killer Mike & Mike Kerr]
Every child, woman and man
Opinion don’t matter, stick to your plan
If they judge, still don’t budge
Don’t give a inch, don’t give a nudge (Nudge)
Life a bitch, leave you battered and bent
Lose or win, gotta hold up your chin (Chin)
And I put it on Jaime and me
We just gave you inspiration for free
The money never meant much
