[Intro: Pharrell Williams]
Neptunes, thugged out
Yeah, of course
I'm— I'm a— I'm actually waiting on the boss now
Yeah, he says we have some kind of special assignment or something
He's supposed to be callin' me, like any minute now, yeah, any minute
Hold on, hold on, lemme get the phone
Hello? Jackson here
Yeah, what? You found Manuel Noriega?
In the Philippines?
He has a mansion?
Okay, we're on it, we're on it right now
Bye
[Chorus: N.O.R.E., Tammy Lucas & Pharrell Williams]
What, what, what, what, what, what, wha-what (What, what, what)
What, what, what, what, what, what, wha-what (What, what, what)
What, what, what, what, what, what, wha-what (What, what, what)
What, what, what, what, what, what, wha-what (Superstar)
What, what, what, what, what, what, wha-what (What, what, what)
What, what, what, what, what, what, wha-what (What, what, what)
What, what, what, what, what, what, wha-what (What, what, what)
What, what, what, what, what, what, wha-what (Superstar)
[Verse 1: N.O.R.E.]
Ayo, we light a candle, run laps around the English Channel
Neptunes, I got a cocker spaniel
We on the run now, you know it ain't no fun now
And where I go, yo, niggas can't even come now
You hate the law, nigga, break it, I don't care
But when you get caught, remember that I don't care
N.O.R.E. loved throughout the atmosphere
That mean now we on the run, yo, if that ain't clear
Weak niggas wanna snitch, yo, but that ain't fair
Yo, we down in Vegas, money, skies too courageous
I know I'm on the run, but still rip stages
They call me animal thug when I'm in cages
I used to boost razors, roll dice with no aces
Now I live secluded in the oasis
Gotta take spaces, no time for car races
Check my Skytel, I got five pages
[Chorus: N.O.R.E., Tammy Lucas & Pharrell Williams]
What, what, what, what, what, what, wha-what (What, what, what)
What, what, what, what, what, what, wha-what (What, what, what)
What, what, what, what, what, what, wha-what (What, what, what)
What, what, what, what, what, what, wha-what (Superstar)
What, what, what, what, what, what, wha-what (What, what, what)
What, what, what, what, what, what, wha-what (What, what, what)
What, what, what, what, what, what, wha-what (What, what, what)
What, what, what, what, what, what, wha-what (Superstar)
[Verse 2: N.O.R.E.]
Yo, hit Louisiana, then Atlanta, Indiana
Forget a city slicker, got country grammar
Ayo, we goin' places where my SoundScan ain't tough
To where I say I ain't Nore, yo, it ain't that rough
I leave the jake in my face, asking all this stuff
I gotta keep my mouth shut and don't say what, what
But yo, it's hard to, knuckleheads got the heart too
Yo, from New Orleans, L.A., V.A. to Queens
The I-95, now we hit the Philippines
But now it's different, we gotta stay sober
Yo, communicate, StarTAC, Motorola
Keep it on the hush-hush, don't talk too much
Thugged Out Entertainment, you know we touch
All our whips got navigation
While your whips is just garbation, is you knowing what you facing?
[Chorus: N.O.R.E., Tammy Lucas & Pharrell Williams]
What, what, what, what, what, what, wha-what (What, what, what)
What, what, what, what, what, what, wha-what (What, what, what)
What, what, what, what, what, what, wha-what (What, what, what)
What, what, what, what, what, what, wha-what (Superstar)
What, what, what, what, what, what, wha-what (What, what, what)
What, what, what, what, what, what, wha-what (What, what, what)
What, what, what, what, what, what, wha-what (What, what, what)
What, what, what, what, what, what, wha-what (Superstar)
[Post-Chorus: Pharrell Williams & N.O.R.E.]
This is the life, yo, of a superstar (Yo, N.O.R.E., Nore, stand for now we on the run eating)
Fly-ass mansions and a million cars
Gotta get the cash, yo, and it's live or die (N.O.R.E., Nore, stand for now we on the run eating)
The Neptunes and Noreaga, the limit is the sky (Hit 'em)
[Verse 3: N.O.R.E.]
Yo, lemme do it again, do it to win
Last album was a eight, this one is a ten
And when Capone come home, we gon' triple the sin
Yo, I love my family, treat my folks like kin
Rock a 'embrero like I'm Mexican
Shouting out my pops, 'cause, yo, next to him
He told me every thug nigga is a gentleman
So I took heed, take my time, still won't speed
You know a nigga got kids, so my family need
A little more than they used to get, real, not the duplicate
Taking no falls, making y'all just recouping it
Doing it up, tell me what you wanna do with it
Capone's plan, passport to foreign lands
Overseas in Japan, politicking with Chan
Yo, N-E-P-T-U-N-E-S
The way they lace a beat like one of the best, what?
[Chorus: N.O.R.E., Tammy Lucas & Pharrell Williams]
What, what, what, what, what, what, wha-what (What, what, what)
What, what, what, what, what, what, wha-what (What, what, what)
What, what, what, what, what, what, wha-what (What, what, what)
What, what, what, what, what, what, wha-what (Superstar)
What, what, what, what, what, what, wha-what (What, what, what)
What, what, what, what, what, what, wha-what (What, what, what)
What, what, what, what, what, what, wha-what (What, what, what)
What, what, what, what, what, what, wha-what (Superstar)
[Post-Chorus: Pharrell Williams & N.O.R.E.]
This is the life, yo, of a superstar (Yo, N.O.R.E., Nore, stand for now we on the run eating)
Fly-ass mansions and a million cars
Gotta get the cash, yo, and it's live or die (Yo, N.O.R.E., Nore, stand for now we on the run eating)
The Neptunes and Noreaga, the limit is the sky
[Outro: N.O.R.E., Tammy Lucas & Pharrell Williams]
N.O.R.E., Nore (What, what, what, what, what, what)
N.O.R.E., Nore, stand for now, we on the run eating (What, what, what, superstar)
N.O.R.E., Nore, stand for now, we on the run eating (What, what, what, what, what, what)
N.O.R.E., Nore
