And the screams from everywhere
I'm addicted to the care
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
We gonna run this town
We are
Yeah I said it
We are
This is Roc Nation
Pledge your allegiance
Get y'all black tees 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 flip for five stacks
Yeah I'm talkin' five comma
Six zeros
Dot zero
Here it go
Back to runnin' circles 'round niggas
Now we squared up
Hold up
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 hey
Hey hey hey hey heyy
Heeeey hey hey hey hey hey
(Is who's gonna run this town tonight)
Hey hey hey hey
We are
Yeah I said it
We are
You can call me Cesar
In a dark Czar
Please follow the leader
So Eric B. We are
Microphone fiend
It's the return of the god
Peace god
(Auh! Auh!)
And ain't nobody fresher
I'm in Mason
(Ah!)
Martin Margiela
On the tape we're screamin'
Fuck the other side, they jealous
We got a bankhead 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 bankhead is lookin' like millionaire's 'fro
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 hey
Hey hey hey hey heyy
Heeeey hey hey hey hey hey

Hey hey hey hey
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 fucking Rav 4?
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 cumm ing
She got a ass that'll swallow up a g string
And up top, unh

And my nigga just made it out the precinct
We give a damn about the drama that you do bring

"Run This Town" is an epic collaboration song by Jay-Z featuring Rihanna, Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Eminem. The song was released in August 2009 and served as the second single from Jay-Z's album, "The Blueprint 3". The song opens with the chorus sung by Rihanna, where she describes the anticipation and excitement in the air for the upcoming event. Jay-Z's rap verses communicate his authoritative position in the music industry as he declares his allegiance to Roc Nation and his determination to win. The song's main theme centers around power, success, and domination, and it seems to push the message that it's okay to break rules and do whatever it takes to win.
In the first verse, Jay-Z claims that he's addicted to the attention and admiration that comes with being on top, and he encourages others to speak up if they have a problem with him. He ends the verse by asking who's going to run the town tonight, implying that he and his team are in charge. The second verse features Kanye West, who boasts about his fashion sense, wealth, and overall status. He uses several fashion labels like "Mason" and "Margiela" and brags about his ability to make everyone jealous with his success. Lil Wayne's verse continues in the same vein, with his characteristic wordplay and nonchalant style. He talks about his money, cars, and women, making it clear that he has no time for people who don't have his level of success. The last verse features Eminem, who delivers his rhymes in his signature fast-paced rap style. He talks about his newfound fame and how it has changed his life, admitting that fame is seductive and that he's now living life in the fast lane.

Feel it comin' in the air
Sensing that something big is about to happen
And the screams from everywhere
Hearing the excitement and anticipation of the people
I'm addicted to the care
I'm obsessed with the attention and success I receive
It's a dangerous love affair
It's risky to be so attached to fame and power
Can't be scared when it goes down
I can't afford to be afraid when things get tough
Got a problem, tell me now
If there's an issue, let me know immediately so I can handle it
Only thing that's on my mind
All I'm thinking about is who will be in charge tonight
Is who's gonna run this town tonight
Who will have the power and influence to lead the city
We gonna run this town
We are the ones who will be in control and leading this city
We are
We are Roc Nation, a powerful force in the music industry
Yeah I said it
I'm not afraid to speak my mind and make bold statements
Pledge your allegiance
Join our team and commit to our cause
Get y'all black tees on
Wear all black as a symbol of unity and strength
All black everything
Everything we have is black - our clothes, our cars, our credit cards
And our girls are blackbirds
Our female companions are beautiful and strong, like black birds
Ridin' with they dillingers
They are carrying guns (dillingers) and are ready to defend us
I'd get more in depth
I could go into more detail if you want
If you boys really real enough
If you are truly dedicated and serious enough about our cause
This is la familia
We are a family, united and loyal to each other
I'll explain later
I can provide more information at a later time
But for now let me get back to this paper
Let me focus on my work and making money
I'm a couple bands down and I'm tryin' to get back
I lost some money and want to make it back
I gave the other grip, I lost a flip for five stacks
I bet and lost $5,000 in a coin flip

Back to runnin' circles 'round niggas
Back to dominating and outperforming others
Now we squared up
We are ready to face any challenge head-on
Life's a game but it's not fair
Life is unpredictable and unfair
I break the rules so I don't care
I don't follow the regulations because I don't care about the consequences
So I keep doin' my own thing
I will continue to do what I want despite what others say
Walkin' tall against the rain
I am standing strong despite all the challenges and setbacks
Victory's within the mile
Success is just within reach
Almost there, don't give up now
We are so close to success, we can't afford to give up
Heeeey hey hey hey hey hey
Chanting and rallying up the crowd
Hey hey hey hey heyy
Continuing to hype up the people
Is who's gonna run this town tonight
Repeating the main question of the song
We are on a crash course
Our lifestyle is leading us towards destruction
What you think I rap for
Why do you think I make music?
To push a fucking Rav 4?
Definitely not to drive a cheap car like a Toyota Rav 4
But I know that if I stay stun ting
But I understand that by showing off and flaunting my wealth, I will continue to attract attention and success
All these girls only gonna want one thing
Women are only interested in me because of my fame and money
I could spend my whole life good will hun ting
I could spend all my time donating money to charity, but it won't change anything
Only good gon' come is as good when I'm cumm ing
I can only expect good things to happen when I'm on top and in control
She got a ass that'll swallow up a g string
She has a huge butt that can cover a tiny thong
And up top, unh
And upstairs, referring to her chest
Two bee stings
Her breasts are small like the size of bee stings
And I'm beasting
I'm confident and powerful
Off the riesling
Drinking a type of white wine called riesling
And my nigga just made it out the precinct
My friend just got out of jail
We give a damn about the drama that you do bring
We don't care about the issues or problems that other people bring to us
I'm just tryin' to change the color on your mood wing
I'm trying to change your mindset and attitude
Reebok
