Somehow this video — with all of its Basic Instinct goodness — escaped my attention in the several years since it was released.
Rumor had it that the track was addressed to Jay-Z after an alleged affair with Rihanna. All parties involved deny that.
I been through this too long
But I’ll be damned if I see another chick on your arm
Don’t you ring the alarm
I been through this too long
But I’ll be damned if I see another chick on your arm
Chorus:
She go be rockin’ chinchilla coats
If I let you go
Benz and the house off the coast
If I let you go
She go take everything I own
If I let you go
I can’t let you go
Damned if I let you go
She gone rock them VVS stones
If I let you go (coupes)
In the ‘Bach carter rolls
If I let you go
She go profit everything I taught
If I let you go
I can’t let you go
Damned if let you go
Verse 1:
Tell me how should I feel
When I know what I know
And my female intuition
Telling me you a dog
People told me bout the flames
I couldn’t see through the smoke
When I need answers, accusations
What you mean you gone choke?
You can’t stay, you gotta go
Ain’t no other chick spending ya dough
This is taking a toll
The way the story unfolds
Not the picture perfect movie everyone would’ve saw
Chorus:
She go be rockin’ chinchilla coats
If I let you go
Benz and the house off the coast
If I let you go
She go take everything I own
If I let you go
I can’t let you go
Damned if I let you go
She gone rock them VVS stones
If I let you go (coupes)
In the ‘Bach carter Rolls
If I let you go
She go profit everything I taught
If I let you go
I can’t let you go
Damned if let you go
Hook:
Ring the alarm
I been through this too long
But I’ll be damned if I see another chick on your arm
Won’t you ring the alarm
I been through this too long
But I’ll be damned if I see another chick on your arm
Verse 2:
Tell me how should I feel
When you made me alone
And the thought of you just touching her
Is what I hate most
I don’t want you but I want it and I can’t let it go
To know you give it to her like you gave it to me, come on
He’s so arrogant and bold
She gone love that shit I know
I done put in a call
Time to ring the alarm
Cause you ain’t never seen a fire like the one I’m gone cause
Chorus:
She go be rockin’ chinchilla coats
If I let you go
Benz and the house off the coast
If I let you go
She go take everything I own
If I let you go
I can’t let you go
Damned if I let you go
She gone rock them VVS stones
If I let you go (coupes)
In the ‘Bach carter Rolls
If I let you go
She go profit everything I taught
If I let you go
I can’t let you go
Damned if let you go
Bridge:
How can you look at me
And not see all the things that I kept only just for you
Why would you risk it baby is that the price I that pay?
Cause this is my show and I won’t let you go
All has been paid for , and it’s mine
How could you look at me
And not see all the things
Chorus:
She go be rockin’ chinchilla coats
If I let you go
Benz and the house off the coast
If I let you go
She go take everything I own
If I let you go
I can’t let you go
Damned if I let you go
She gone rock them VVS stones
If I let you go (coupes)
In the ‘Bach carter Rolls
If I let you go
She go profit everything I taught
If I let you go
I can’t let you go
Damned if let you go…
Meet Me In Montauk 
While I certainly hope that she’s not speaking on her behalf – and that the rumors are just that, rumors – she sure does sound the alarm effectively.
I too hope those rumors were not true. While the song is certainly passionate, I find it rather grating.
Could have been used in the scene in High Anxiety where the guy was killed in his car with the radio blaring. She is quite shapely, I must say.
