Run It!
Bow Wow/Chris Brown/Jermaine Dupri Lyrics

Okay
Agreement to start the song

Check it, check it, check it out.
Invitation to pay attention

Steppin’, steppin’, steppin’ out.
Going out with confidence

One of them brand new big boy toys,
Referring to a luxury vehicle

I do big boy things,
Taking on mature responsibilities

I make big boy noise, 'cause
Asserting oneself in a loud way

I know what girls want
Claiming to understand what females desire

I know what they like
Assuming knowledge of women's preferences

They want to stay up
Girls enjoy remaining active late into the night

And party all night
Girls prefer to engage in social events throughout the night

So bring a friend.
Instructing listeners to come with a companion

Let me talk to you
Requesting attention for conversation

Tell you how it is.
Expressing the truth

I was thinkin' when I saw that body
Refers to seeing an attractive individual

Gotta get shorty
Desiring to be with an appealing female

Tell her what the young boy goin' to do.
Sharing the artist's intentions with a female

Damn them chicks with you
Expressing admiration for attractive women nearby

Gotta be okay
Hoprafrasing previous line, indicating approval desired to interact for the track to proceed

Babe pretty thick with a kick that’s sick
Complimenting her attractive, curvy figure

That it needs to be hit
Refers to satisfying physical desires

So tell me what y'all goin' to do.
Inquires as to what the group's plans are

I got friends and you got friends.
Asserting that they each have an entourage

They hop out and you hop in.
Exchanging companions from each other groups

I look fly and they jockin'.
Being attractive and deserving praise

The way you drop, drop makes me wanna pop.
Being caught off at attention by a lady's dance moves and beauty

Is yo man on the floor?
Inquiring about the girl's relationship status

If he ain't, let me know.
Offering to proceed if she's single

Lemme see if you can run it, run it.
Challenging her to keep up with the artist

Girl indeed I can run it, run it.
Accepting the challenge and ready to keep up with the artist

You'll see, girl I can set you off.
Implying the ability to arouse desire in the lady

I don't believe my age gonna slow us down.
Not taking age as a limiting factor in the relationship

I can definitely show you things,
Promising to reveal pleasurable experiences

To have you sayin' I can't be 16.
Implying the potential for excellence beyond one's years

Once I get in, you won't let go.
Once the artist establishes a connection with the lady, he expects her to remain interested

And I have them girls wishin' they were you
Potentially making other girls envious of the lady he's with

And I know you heard about me
Referring to his fame and reputation preceding him

But guess what's goin' down if we leave.
Implying what will happen after they leave

Girl, you feel right
Feeling comfortable and confident with the lady

Make me feel like I wanna do a little somethin'
Arousing the singer's passions

Ain't no thing let's do it fo' sho'.
Indicating willingness to act on desires

The way that you're wearin' them jeans
Noticing the woman's attire and how it compliments her body

Is turnin' me on
Feeling excited by the woman's appearance

You're the hottest thing that's in these streets
Complimenting the lady's attractiveness

So baby won't you rock wit me.
Asking the woman to accompany him

Make it drop honey
Asking her to show off her moves

Make it pop honey
Requesting dance performance

Whip, wop
Refers to specific dance moves

Tick, tock to the clock fo' me.
Performing dance moves perfectly to the rhythm

Don't stop doin' that.
Asking the lady to continue dancing

And shorty know what I mean when I tell her so
Assuming that lady knows the expectations that come with the singer asking her to dance this way

She won't stop doin' that.
Anticipating that lady will continue to dance well

Wait till you see my (hey)
Promising an exceptional performance

Wait till you see my (hey)
Repeating to emphasize how impressive the performance will be

Let me fall back
Stepping back to admire her dance performance

You ain't ready for all that
Recognizing the lady's exceptional performance

Have you sleep late, real late yeah
Enjoying the night's activities

Takin' them long naps.
Tired from a night of fun

You tell yo friends to get wit my friends,
Suggesting a reunion for the future

We can be friends switch and meet friends,
Proposing that they continue building relationships

We can do it all night long
Suggesting they can continue having fun throughout the night

Until the clock hits mornin',
Not wanting to end the night's activities

Ya dig.
Asking for affirmation
