Running Your Mouth
Silencing the Streets: Bad Bitch Chronicles from the Queen of the South
Lyrics
Running your, running your mouth
Expressing frustration with someone who talks too much
I'm a bad bitch and the Queen of the South
Self-assertion of confidence and power, claiming a dominant position
And if you're caught snitching, I'm putting ya down
Warning against betrayal or snitching, implying severe consequences
And if a cop's coming, I better not hear ya running your mouth
Cautioning against talking when law enforcement is present
I know you think you earned some
Addressing the perception of entitlement and achievement
But where I'm from we don't talk about income
Rejecting the discussion of financial matters based on upbringing
To talk you'd have to get some
Highlighting the need to accomplish something before speaking
Be more than just someone's son
Emphasizing the importance of individual achievement
You won't forget I run this town
Asserting dominance and control over a locality
If I catch you running your mouth
Reiterating the consequences of talking too much
Running your, running your mouth
Repeating the theme of caution against gossip and snitching
I'm a bad bitch and the Queen of the South
-And if you're caught snitching, I'm putting ya down
-And if a cop's coming, I better not hear ya running your mouth
-Running your, running your mouth
Continuation of the warning regarding the consequences of indiscreet talk
I'm a bad bitch and the queen of the south
-And if you're caught snitching, I'm putting ya down
-And if a cops coming, I better not hear ya running your mouth
-You better not be running your mouth
Reinforcing the prohibition against excessive talking
You want the crown jewels
Stating the requirements for acquiring valuable possessions and power
You'll need power, money too
Highlighting the necessity of power and wealth, not accepting debts
Don't take no I.O.U
Rejecting the idea of accepting promises instead of immediate payment
So guess who's broke bitch
Addressing someone as financially broken or unsuccessful
Y.O.U
Spelling out the word "YOU" for emphasis on financial failure
You won't forget I run this town
Reiteration of authority and control over the town
If I catch you running your mouth
Repeating the consequences of talking too much, especially in the presence of law enforcement
Running your, running your mouth
-I'm a bad bitch and the Queen of the South
-And if you're caught snitching, I'm putting ya down
-And if a cop's coming, I better not hear ya running your mouth
-Running your, running your mouth
Continuation of the theme of warning against gossip and snitching
I'm a bad bitch and the Queen of the South
-And if you're caught snitching, I'm putting ya down
-And if a cop's coming, I better not hear ya running your mouth
-Better not hear ya running your mouth
Emphasizing the prohibition against excessive talking
Running your, running your mouth
Reiteration of self-assertion and the consequences of talking too much
I'm a bad bitch and the Queen of the South
-And if you're caught snitching, I'm putting ya down
-And if a cop's coming, I better not hear ya running your mouth
-Running your, running your mouth
Repeating the warning against snitching, with emphasis on law enforcement presence
I'm a bad bitch and the Queen of the South
-And if you're caught snitching, I'm putting ya down
-And if a cop's coming, I better not hear ya running your mouth
