Lyrics of Run This Town [Jay-Z + Rihanna + Kanye West] by Jay-Z
intro
Feel it comin' in the air (yeah)
Hear the screams from everywhere (yeah)
I'm addicted to the thrill (I'm ready)
It's a dangerous love affair (what's up? C'mon)
intro
Can't be scared when it goes down
Got a problem, tell me now (what's up?)
Only thing that's on my mind (what's up?)
Is who gon' run this town tonight (uh, what's up?)
hook
Is who gon' run this town tonight (yeah, what's up? Yeah)
We gon' run this town
verse
We are, yeah, I said it, we are
This is Roc Nation, pledge your allegiance
Get your fatigues on, all black everything
Black cards, black cars, all black everything
verse
And our girls are blackbirds, ridin' with they Dillingers
I get more in depth if you boys really real enough
This is La Familia, I'll explain later
But for now, let me get back to this paper
verse
I'ma couple bands down and I'm tryin' to get back
I gave Doug a grip and lost a flip for five stacks
Yeah, I'm talkin' five comma, six zeros, dot zeros, here Doug
Back to runnin' circles 'round -, now we squared up, hold up
chorus
Life's a game, but it's not fair (yeah)
I break the rules, so I don't care (uh-huh)
So I keep doin' my own thing
Walkin' tall against the rain (what's up?)
chorus
Victory's within the mile
Almost there, don't give up now (what's up?)
Only thing that's on my mind (what's up?)
Is who gon' run this town tonight (uh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
hook
Hey, hey, hey, hey (yeah, yeah, yeah, what's up?)
Is who gon' run this town tonight
verse
We are, yeah, I said it, we are
You can call me Caesar, in a dark czar
Please follow the leader, so Eric B. we are
Microphone fiend, this the return of the god, peace, God (ah, ah)
verse
It ain't no nobody fresher, I'm in
Maison, uh, Martin Margiela
On the table, screamin', " - the other side! They jealous!"
We got a banquette full of broads, they got a table full of fellas (yeah)
verse
And they ain't spendin' no cake
They should throw they hand in 'cause they ain't got no spades (yeah)
My whole team got dough
So my banquette is lookin' like Millionaire's Row (yeah)
chorus
Life's a game, but it's not fair
I break the rules, so I don't care (what's up?)
So I keep doin' my own thing (uh, uh)
Walkin' tall against the rain (g-yeah, g-yeah)
chorus
Victory's within the mile (what's up?)
Almost there, don't give up now
Only thing that's on my mind (a thing that my mind)
Is who gon' run this town tonight (ooh, uh, what's up?)
hook
Hey, hey, hey, hey (yeah, yeah, yeah, what's up?)
Is who gon' run this town tonight (ay, uh)
verse
It's crazy how you can go from bein' Joe Blow
To everybody on yo' -, no -
I bought my whole family whips, no Volvos
Next time I'm in church, please, no photos
verse
Police escorts, everybody passports
This the life that everybody ask for
This the fast life, we are on a crash course
What you think I rap for? To push a - Rav4?
verse
But I know that if I stay stunting
All these girls only gon' want one thing
I can spend my whole life Good Will Hunting
Only good gon' come is as good when I'm -
verse
She got a ass that'll swallow up a G-string
And up top, ugh, two bee stings
And I'm beasting off the Riesling
And my - just made it out the precinct
verse
We give a damn about the drama that your dude bring
I'm just tryin' change the color on your mood ring
Reebok, baby, you need to try some new things
Have you ever had shoes without shoe strings?
verse
"What's that, Ye?" "Baby, these heels"
"Is that a May-, what?!" "Baby, these wheels"
You trippin' when you ain't sippin', have a refill
You feelin' like you runnin', huh? Now you know how we feel
outro
What's up?
Hey, hey (yeah)
Hey, hey (yeah)
What's up?
Hey, hey
Hey, we gon' run this town tonight
outro
What's up?
Writer(s): Ernest Dion Wilson
