Run It!
Chris Brown feat. Bow Wow and Jermaine Dupri Lyrics

Okay
Acknowledgment of the start of the song

Check it, check it, check it out.
Attention grabber to the audience

Steppin', steppin', steppin' out.
Announcement of the artists' arrival

One of them brand new big boy toys,
Referring to the fancy cars they are driving

I do big boy things,
Boasting of their wealth and status

I make big boy noise 'cause
Asserting their dominance and confidence

I know what girls want
Claiming to understand what women desire

I know what they like
Continuing to assert their knowledge of female desires

They want to stay up
Stating that women want to party all night

And party all night
Elaborating on the previous line

So bring a friend.
Inviting others to join in the fun

Let me talk to you
Directing the lyrics to the listener

Tell you how it is.
Promising to provide truthful information

I was thinkin' when I saw that body
Referring to a woman's attractive physique

Gotta get shorty
Desire to approach the woman

Tell her what the young boy goin' do.
Describing their intentions to the woman

Damn them chicks with you
Acknowledging the woman's friends

Gotta be okay
Suggesting that the other women must approve of him

Babe pretty thick with a kick that's sick
Complimenting the woman's curves and confidence

That need to be hit
Implying a desire for physical intimacy with her

So tell me what y'all goin' do.
Directly asking the woman what her and her friends' plans are

I got friends and you got friends.
Noting each other's social circle

They hop out and you hop in.
Suggesting that they can share their friends with each other

I look fly and they jockin'.
Boasting about their appearance and attracting attention

The way you drop, drop
Referring to the woman's dance moves

Makes me wanna pop
Expressing their excitement at seeing the woman dance

Is yo man,
Asking if the woman is in a relationship

On the floor?
Asking if her partner is present

If he ain't,
Suggesting that they can potentially pursue each other

Let me know.
Requesting confirmation from the woman

Lemme see if you can run it, run it.
Challenging her to dance and show what she can do

Girl indeed I can run it, run it.
Confirming the woman's capabilities and confidence in her dance skills

You'll see,
Promising future events

Girl I can set you off.
Implying excitement and sexual arousal

I don't believe my age gonna slow us down.
Asserting that despite their youth, they can keep up with the woman sexually

I can definitely show you things,
Implying an eagerness to please her

To have you saying I can't be 16.
Boasting about their sexual prowess despite their young age

Once I get in,
Assuming that there will be physical intimacy

You won't let go,
Implying that they will have an intense connection

(And i)
Transition to the chorus

I have them girls wishin' they were you
Boasting about the women who desire him due to his success and attractiveness

But guess what's goin' down if we leave.
Implying that they will engage in sexual activities if they leave together

Girl you feel right
Complimenting the woman's chemistry and attraction

Make me feel like
Implying sexual arousal and desire

I wanna do a little somethin'
Suggesting intention to engage in sexual activities

Ain't no thing let's do it fo' sho'
Expressing agreement and excitement to engage in the suggested activities

The way that yo wearin' them jeans
Complimenting the woman's fashion choice

Is turnin' me on
Expressing sexual arousal

You're the hottest thing
Complimenting the woman's attractiveness

That's in these streets
Implying that she is the most attractive in her surroundings

So baby won't you rock wit me.
Inviting her to dance with him

Make it drop honey
Encouraging her to continue dancing provocatively

Make it pop honey
Encouraging her to engage in sexual activities

Whip, wop
Imagery of sexual movements

Tick, tock to the clock fo' me.
Asking her to move to the rhythm of the music

Don't stop doin' that.
Encouraging her to continue her dancing and sexual activities

And shorty know what I mean when I tell her so she won't stop doin' that.
Implying that he is being direct and explicit with his intentions

Plus I heard if you can dance you can bump
Jokingly implying that dancing leads to sexual activities

Well dance time is up
Transitioning to the chorus

Let's go, let's go(yup)
Encouraging her to leave with him and engage in sexual activities

We can get it in,
Suggesting more sexual activities

We can get some friends.
Suggesting that they can involve their mutual friends

Do it like he ying yang twins start whisperin'.
Referring to the Ying Yang Twins' song 'Whisper Song' which is known for being sexually explicit

Wait till you see my(hey)
Adding excitement and anticipation for what he can do

Let me fall back
Taking a step back from the sexual advances to allow her to respond

You ain't ready for all that
Suggesting that the woman may not be ready for the intensity of his desires

Have you sleep late,
Implying that he will indulge in sexual activities with her until the early hours of the morning

Real late yeah
Reiterating the previous line

Takin' them long naps.
Implying that they will be exhausted from engaging in sexual activities

You tell yo friends
Suggesting that they can involve their respective social circles

To get wit my friends,
Inviting the woman to introduce him to her friends

We can be friends
Suggesting a mutually beneficial relationship

Switch and meet friends(switch)
Continuing the idea of meeting each other's social circles

We can do it all night long, and
Suggesting an all-night sexual activity

Until the clock hit mornin'
Implying that they will engage in sexual activities until the morning

Ya dig.
Slang for 'Do you understand?'
