[Intro - Rihanna]

Feel it comin' in the air

hear the screams from everywhere
I'm addicted to the thrill
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 fatigues 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 fifth of five stacks

Yeah I'm talkin' five comma
Six zeros
Dot zero

Here it go...
Back to runnin' circles 'round ^!$$%s
Now we fired 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 Caesar

In a dark Cigar
Please follow the lea-der
So Eric B. we are

Microphone fiend
It's the return of thee God
Peace God...

(Auh! Auh! )
And ain't nobody fresher
I'm in Mason

(Ah! )
Martin Margiela
On the tape we're screamin'

$#&@ the other side, they jealous
We got a banquet 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 banquet is lookin' like Millionaire's Row

[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 $#&@in' RAV4?
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###m-ing
She got a $$# that'll swallow up a g-string
And up top, unh...
Two bee stings
And I'm beasting
Off the riesling

And my ^!$$% just made it out the precinct
We give a damn about the drama that ya do 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

[Outro - Rihanna]

We gonna run this town tonight!

[Outro - Jay-Z]

Wassup!
