(feat. Rihanna, Kanye West)

|
[Intro - Rihanna]
|
Feel it comin' in the air
|
And the screams from everywhere
|
I'm addicted to the care
|
It's a dangerous love affair
|
Can't be scared when it goes down
|
Got a problem, tell me now
|
Only thing that's on my mind
|
Is who's gonna run this town tonight...
|
Is who's gonna run this town tonight...
|
We gonna run this town
|
|
[Verse 1 - Jay-Z]
|
We are
|
Yeah I said it
|
We are
|
This is Roc Nation
|
Pledge your allegiance
|
Get y'all black tees on
|
All black everything
|
Black cards, black cars
|
All black everything
|
And our girls are blackbirds
|
Ridin' with they dillingers
|
I'd 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
|
I'm a couple bands down and I'm tryin' to get back
|
I gave the other grip, I lost a flip for five stacks
|
Yeah I'm talkin' five comma
|
six zeros
|
dot zero
|
Here it go...
|
Back to runnin' circles 'round niggas
|
Now we squared up
|
Hold up
|
|
[Chorus - Rihanna]
|
Life's a game but it's not fair
|
I break the rules so I don't care
|
So I keep doin' my own thing
|
Walkin' tall against the rain
|
Victory's within the mile
|
Almost there, don't give up now
|
Only thing that's on my mind
|
Is who's gonna run this town tonight
|
Heeeey-hey-hey-hey-hey-heyyy
|
Hey-heyyy-hey-hey-heyy
|
Heeeey-hey-hey-hey-hey-heyyy
|
(Is who's gonna run this town tonight)
|
Hey-hey-hey-heyyy
|
|
[Verse 2 - Jay-Z]
|
We are
|
Yeah I said it
|
We are
|
You can call me Cesar
|
In a dark Czar
|
Please follow the leader
|
So Eric B. we are
|
Microphone fiend
|
It's the return of the god
|
Peace god...
|
(Auh! Auh!)
|
And ain't nobody fresher
|
I'm in Mason
|
(Ah!)
|
Martin Margiela
|
On the tape we're screamin'
|
Fuck the other side, they jealous
|
We got a bankhead full of broads(?)
|
They got a table full of fellas... (?)
|
And they ain't spending no cake
|
They should throw they hand in
|
'Cause they ain't got no spades...
|
My whole team got dough
|
So my bankhead is lookin' like millionaire's 'fro
|
|
[Chorus - Rihanna]
|
Life's a game but it's not fair
|
I break the rules so I don't care
|
So I keep doin' my own thing
|
Walkin' tall against the rain
|
Victory's within the mile
|
Almost there, don't give up now
|
Only thing that's on my mind
|
Is who's gonna run this town tonight
|
Heeeey-hey-hey-hey-hey-heyyy
|
Hey-heyyy-hey-hey-heyy
|
Heeeey-hey-hey-hey-hey-heyyy
|
(Is who's gonna run this town tonight)
|
Hey-hey-hey-heyyy
|
|
[Verse 3 - Kanye West]
|
It's crazy how you can go from being Joe Blow
|
To everybody on your dick, no homo
|
I bought my whole family whips, no Volvos
|
Next time I'm in church, please no photos
|
Police escorts
|
Everybody passports
|
This the life that everybody ask for
|
This a fast life
|
We are on a crash course
|
What you think I rap for
|
To push a fucking Rav 4?
|
But I know that if I stay stun-ting
|
All these girls only gonna want one thing
|
I could spend my whole life good will hun-ting
|
Only good gon' come is as good when I'm cumm-ing
|
She got a ass that'll swallow up a g-string
|
And up top, unh...
|
Two bee stings
|
And I'm beasting
|
Off the riesling
|
And my nigga just made it out the precinct
|
We give a damn about the drama that you do bring
|
I'm just tryin' to change the color on your mood ring
|
Reebok
|
Baby
|
You need to drop some new things
|
Have you ever had shoes without shoe strings?
|
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 - Rihanna]
|
We gonna run this town tonight!

[Outro - Jay-Z]
