Songtexte Run This Town [Jay-Z + Rihanna + Kanye West] - Amended - Jay-Z

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 (come on)
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 gon′ run this town

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
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

I'm a 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 zero, here Doug
Back to runnin′ circles 'round n-, now we squared up
Hold up

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
Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey
Is who's gonna run this town tonight

We are, yeah, I said it, we are
You can call me Caesar, in a dark Caesar
Please follow the leader, so Eric B we are
Microphone fiend, this the return of the God
Peace, God, ah, ah, it ain′t no nobody fresher
I'm in Maison, ah, Martin Margiela
On the table, screamin′
"F- the other side, they're jealous"
We got a banquette full of broads
They got a table full of fellas (eww)

And they ain′t spendin' no cake
They should throw their hand in
'Cause they ain′t got no spades (eww)
My whole team got dough
So my banquette is lookin′ like millionaires' row (eww)

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
Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey
Is who's gonna run this town tonight

It′s crazy how you can go from bein' Joe Blow
To everybody on your d-, no h-
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 the fast life, we are on a crash course
What you think I rap for, to push a f- Rav 4?

But I know that if I stay stunting
All these girls only gon' want one thing
I can spend my whole life goodwill hunting
Only good gon′ come is this good when I'm c-

She got a ass that'll swallow up a G-string
And up top, uh, two bee stings
And I′m beasting off the Riesling
And my n- just made it out the precinct

We give a damn about the drama that your dude bring
I′m just tryin' to change the color on your mood ring
Reebok, baby, you need to try 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

Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey
We gon' run this town tonight

What′s up?
