The song "Run It" by Chris Brown ft. Juelz Santana is all about a young boy trying to impress a girl and convince her to party with him. The lyrics describe how he knows what girls want and what they like, and that he can show her things that will have her saying he can't possibly be just 16. He tells her he has friends and she has friends, and they can all go out together and have a good time.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Is yo man on the floor? If he ain't let me know, lemme see if you can run it, run it. Girl, indeed I can run it, run it." This is a way of asking if the girl is single and ready to dance with him. He then goes on to describe how her body looks in her jeans and how it's turning him on.
The song is a fun and upbeat track that is all about living in the moment and having a good time. It's a catchy tune with a memorable chorus that encourages people to let loose and dance.
