Red One
Mr.Worldwide
From Miami, Morocco, to Austrailia
To the world, dale!
Run 'em like run 'em run 'em woop
Run 'em like run 'em run 'em woop
When the sun goes down, down, down, down
Boy are you afraid of the dark, dark?
And when the lights go out, out, out, out
Tell me, do you know where to start, start?
And when the bass gets loud, loud, loud
That is when I feel a part, part
And when the world screams "sound, sound, sound"
Where the sound is the key to my heart, heart
We run yes the we run the night, ni-night, night, ni-ni-night
We run yes the we run the night, we-we-we run, we-we-we run, run
We run yes the we run the night, the night
Run 'em like run 'em run 'em woop
Run 'em like run 'em run 'em woop
Run 'em like run 'em run 'em woop
From the bottom of the map, Miami,
To the land down under, Australia,
You feel my drive, see my vision and hear my hunger
As my money gets older, theirs get younger
They sell their soul but the Devil knows I have no number
I'm go go baby, fresh oh baby, go go baby, uh oh baby, no no baby
Yeah yeah baby, now jiggle it baby, let me tickle it baby,
I know I'm lost it's gon' be hard to save me,
I'm sorry that's how Dade county raised me,
Y'all heard me right we run the night, now fuck you pay me
We run yes the we run the night, ni-night, night, ni-ni-night
We run yes the we run the night, we-we-we run, we-we-we run, run
We run yes the we run the night, the night
Run 'em like run 'em run 'em woop
Run 'em like run 'em run 'em woop
Run 'em like run 'em run 'em woop
Feelin' like a rush, rush, rush
Brushing past me all over my skin, ski-i-i-in
I can get enough, 'nough, 'nough
'Cause the beat keep pullin me in, in
Takin' me so high, up, up, up
A place that I've never been, aah
Party, party all night, night, night
Sleep all day then do it again, 'gain
We run yes the we run the night, ni-night, night,
Run 'em like run 'em run 'em woop
We run yes the we run the night, we-we-we run, we-we-we run, run
We run yes the we run the night, the night, ni-ni-ni-ni
Run 'em like run 'em run 'em woop
In Havana Brown's song We Run the Night, she is having a thrill-filled night as she describes in the first verse. She talks about how when the sun goes down, she is not afraid of the dark but rather is energized by it. The lights going out don't bring her fear either, but instead, she's asking her partner if they know where to start once the lights are out. She also says that when the bass gets loud, that's when she feels like she's truly a part of the experience. The sound of the world is the key to her heart, and music is the driving force behind her night. She's not alone in all this as she speaks in the chorus about how they run the night, meaning that she's not the only person experiencing this thrill-filled night; they are all in it together.
The second verse has the lyrics being more focused on Havana Brown's personal journey. She talks about her drive and vision as well as her hunger for her work. She acknowledges that her money is getting older as her fans become younger, but she's confident that her drive and passion will keep her on top. She talks about how others may sell their soul, but she won't, meaning that she won't sacrifice her morals for success. She then uses some language specific to Florida, where she grew up, and talks about how she's sorry that's how she was raised, meaning that it contributed to her current attitudes. The final line of the verse is her giving a middle finger to those who doubt her while also demanding that they pay her for her work.
Overall, We Run the Night is a song that celebrates the excitement and thrill of one wild night while also showcasing the artist's drive and passion.
