Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I run this town, what?
I run this town, what?
You already know that
I run this town, what?
I run this town, what?
I run this town
Oh na na, oh na na
Oh na na, oh na na
I am the queen of the jungle
I walk in ready to rumble
Blow out my kiss, watch 'em tumble
Oh na na, oh na na
Every one knows that I got this
Know how to handle my business
Stackin' up all of my riches
Oh na na, oh na na
I run this town, what?
I run this town, what?
I run this town
Oh na na, oh na na
I run this town, what?
I run this town, what?

I run this town
I got the keys to the city
I gotta know, is you with me?
Back to your queen, come and curtsy
Oh na na, oh na na
I'll take you somewhere that's popping
Ratchet or not, we ain't stopping
Chasing the beat 'til we drop in
Oh na na, oh na na
I run this town, what?
