| Run the Jewels – Thursday in the Danger Room Lyrics | 4 years ago |
| At first, El-P wasn't going to release this on RTJ3, due to its deep personal meaning. It reference's the death of his friend, Teri Smith, aka, Came Tao, who died in 2008 and whose death still affects him deeply to this day. He was worried about having to perform this, as well, due to it being so emotional. Killer Mike's verse is about a friend of his that was murdered on the street for his gold chain, his killer never caught. And Killer Mike is actually forgiving this person thru this song. This song also has personal meaning to me, too, as I recently lost my best friend of 30 years in December 2020, my Dad died December 2018 and lost another best friend of 22 years in April 2017. Not to mention the countless other close friends I've lost over the years and I'm only 44. This track I'm sure has deep personal meaning to anyone who relates to the subject matter. | |
