Run It!
Platinum Deluxe Lyrics

Okay
Acknowledging agreement or readiness to proceed

Check it, check it, check it out
Pay attention and observe what I have to say

It's Santana again
Carlos Santana is back on the scene

Steppin', steppin', steppin' out
Making a fashionable and confident entrance

One of them brand new big boy toys
Referring to himself as a successful and grown man with luxury possessions

I do big boy things
Engaging in mature and significant activities

I make big boy noise 'cause
Creating attention and making an impact with his actions

I know what girls want
Understanding the desires and preferences of women

I know what they like
Aware of the things that appeal to them

They want to stay up
Desire to remain awake and active

And party all night
Enjoying social gatherings and festivities until the early hours

So bring a friend
Invite someone you know to accompany you

Let me talk to you
Allow me to communicate with you

Tell you how it is
Explain the reality of the situation

I was thinkin' when I saw that body
Upon seeing an attractive person, thoughts crossed his mind

Gotta get shorty
Motivated to pursue a romantic interest

Tell her what the young boy goin' do
Inform her about his intentions and plans

Damn them chicks with you
Expressing admiration for the women accompanying her

Gotta be okay
They must be acceptable or satisfactory

Babe pretty thick with a kick that's sick
Referring to her as curvaceous and attractive

That need to be hit
Someone he desires intimately

So tell me what y'all goin' do
Inquire about their plans or actions

I got friends and you got friends
He and his acquaintances have companions

They hop out and you hop in
His friends exit while she enters

I look fly and they jockin'
His stylish appearance attracts attention and admiration

The way you drop, drop
The way she moves her body sensually

Makes me wanna pop
Elicits a desire to dance energetically

Is yo man on the floor?
Is your partner present and dancing?

If he ain't let me know
Inform him if her partner is absent

Lemme see if you can run it, run it
Allow me to witness her dancing abilities

Girl indeed I can run it, run it
Affirming that he can display impressive dance skills

You'll see
You will witness and experience

Girl I can set you off
He can make her feel excited and aroused

I don't believe my age gonna slow us down
His young age will not hinder their fun and activities

I can definitely show you things
He can introduce her to new experiences

To have you saying I can't be 16
Surprising her with his level of maturity and capabilities at his young age

Once I get in
Once he enters a particular situation or environment

You won't let go
She will not want to separate from him

(And I) I have them girls wishin' they were you
Other girls envy her position or wish to be in her place

(And I) I know you heard bout me
He is aware that she has heard about him previously

But guess what's goin' down if we leave
Hinting towards intimate activities that will occur if they depart together

Girl you feel right
She feels comfortable and enjoyable

Make me feel like
She makes him experience certain emotions or sensations

I wanna do a little somethin'
He desires to engage in intimate acts

Ain't no thing let's do it fo' sho'
It is not a problem; they should definitely proceed

The way that yo wearin' them jeans
Her attire, specifically her jeans, are attractive to him

Is turnin' me on
Her appearance is sexually arousing to him

You're the hottest thing
She is the most attractive person

That's in these streets
Referring to her popularity or desirability among the public

So baby won't you rock wit me
He invites her to be with him and enjoy life together

Make it drop honey
Encouraging her to move her body sensually

Make it pop honey
Encouraging her to dance in a lively and captivating manner

Whip, wop
Referring to dancing movements

Tick, tock to the clock fo' me
Asking her to synchronize her moves with the beat

Don't stop doin' that
Continue performing those enticing movements

And shorty know what I mean when I tell her so she won't stop doin' that
She understands his desires and knows to continue with her enticing actions

Plus I heard if you can dance you can bump
Referring to physical encounters associated with dancing

Well dance time is up
The time for dancing is over

Let's go, let's go (yup)
Encouragement to move to the next planned activity

We can get it in
They can engage in physical intimacy

We can get some friends
They can involve other people in their activities

Do it like he ying yang twins start whisperin'
Performing physical acts in a secretive or sensual manner

Wait till you see my (hey)
Anticipation for her reaction to his intimate performance

Let me fall back
He will take a more passive or submissive role

You ain't ready for all that
She is not prepared for the intensity or extent of his actions

Have you sleep late
Keeping her awake until the early hours of the morning

Real late yeah
Until a very late time

Takin' them long naps
She will be exhausted and sleep for prolonged periods

You tell yo friends
Informing her friends

To get wit my friends
To become acquainted with his friends

We can be friends
They can establish a friendly relationship

Switch and meet friends (switch)
Interchanging between their own social circles

We can do it all night long, and
They can engage in various activities throughout the entire night

Until the clock hit mornin'
Continuing until sunrise

Ya dig
Do you understand?
