:
(feat. Rihanna & Kanye West)

[Intro: Rihanna]
Feel it coming in the air (Yeah)
Hear the screams from everywhere (Yeah)
I'm addicted to the the thrill (I'm ready)
It's a dangerous love affair (Wassup, c'mon)
Can't be scaring nickel's down
Got a problem tell me now (Wassup)
Only thing that's on my mind
Is who gon' run this town tonight (Uh, wassup)
Is who gon' run this town tonight (Yeah, wassup, yeah)
We gon' run this town

[Verse 1: Jay-Z]
We are, yeah, I said it, we are
This is Roc Nation, pledge your allegiance
Get ya'll fatigues on, all black everything
Black cards, black cars, all black everything
And our girls are blackbirds, riding 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 tryna get back
I gave doug a grip, I lost a flip for five stacks
Yeah, I'm talking five comma six zeroes dot zero, bigger
Back to running circles round niggas, now we squared up
Hold up

[Chorus: Rihanna]
Life's a game but it's not fair (Yeah)
I break the rules so I don't care (Uh ha)
So I keep doing my own thing
Walking tall against the rain (Wassup)
Victorys within' the mile
Almost there, don't give up now (Wassup)
Only thing that's on my mind
Is who gon' run this town tonight
Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey, ey-ey-ey-ey
Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey, ey-ey-ey-ey
Is who gon' run this town tonight?

[Verse 2: Jay-Z]
We are, yeah, I said it, we are
You can call me Caesar in a dark Caesar
Please follow the leaderso Eric B we are
Microphone fiend it's the return of the god, peace god (Uh, uh)
And ain't nobody fresher I'm in Maison, uh, Martin Margiela
On the table screaming fuck the other side they jealous
We got a bankhead full of broads they got a table full of fellas (Ewww)
And they ain't spendin no cake they should throw they hand in cause they ain't got no spades (Ewww)
My whole team got dough so my bankhead is lookin' like Millionaires Row (Ewww)

[Chorus: Rihanna]
Life's a game but it's not fair
I break the rules so I don't care (Wassup)
So I keep doing my own thing (Uh, uh)
Walking tall against the rain (Yeah)
Victorys within' the mile (Wassup)
Almost there, don't give up now (Uh)
Only thing that's on my mind (Mind)
Is who gon' run this town tonight (Wassup)
Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey, ey-ey-ey-ey (Wassup)
Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey, ey-ey-ey-ey
Is who gon' run this town tonight?

[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 fuckin' rav 4
But I know that if I stay stunting, all these girls only gon' want one thing
I could spend my whole life good will hunting, only good gon' come is it's good when I'm coming
She got an ass that'll swallow up a G-string and up top, uh, two bee stings
And I'm beasting, off the re-sling, and my nigga just made it out the precinct
We give a damn about the drama that you do bring, I'm just tryna change the color on your mood ring
Reebok baby, you need to try some new things, have you ever had shoes without shoestrings
What's that yay, 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 run it huh now you know how we feel

[Outro: Rihanna]
(Wassup) Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey, ey-ey-ey-ey (Yeah, yeah)
Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey, ey-ey-ey-ey (Wassup)
Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey-yeah, ey-ey-ey-yeah
Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey-yeah, we gon' run this town tonight (Wussah!)
