verse
Some of them men think they freak this like we do
Make your check, come at they neck
Disrespect us, no they won't
Boy don't even try to touch this (Touch this)
Boy this beat is crazy (Crazy)
This is how they made me (Made me)
This goes out to all my girls
That's in the club rocking the latest
Who will buy it for themselves and get more money later
None of these niggas can fade me
I'm so good with this, I remind you, I'm so hood with this
Boy I'm just playing, come here baby
Hope you still like me, F-U, pay me
chorus
Who run the world? Girls! Girls!
Who run the world? Girls!
Who run the world? Girls!
Who run the world? Girls!
Who run the world? Girls!
verse
DJ don't be scared to run this, run this back
I'm repping for the girls who taking over the world
Help me raise a glass for the college grads
41' Rollie to let you know what time it is, check
You can't hold me (You can't hold me)
I work my nine to five better cut my check
This goes out to all the women getting it in
To the other men that respect what I do
Boy, you know you love it
How we're smart enough to make these millions
Strong enough to bear the children (Children)
Then get back to business
See, you better not play me (Me)
chorus
Who run the world? Girls! Girls!

Who run the world? Girls!
Who run the world? Girls!
Who run the world? Girls!

Who are we? What we run? The world

Who are we? What we run? The world
(Who run this motha? Yeah!)
Who are we? What do we run? We run the world
(Who run this motha? Yeah!)
Who are we? What we run? We run the world
Who run the world? Girls! Girls!
