Jay-Z ft Kanye West, Rihanna – Run This Town Lyrics

(Rihanna)
Feeling it coming in the air,
hear the screams from everywhere,
I’m addicted to thrill,
Its a dangerous love affair,
Can’t be scared when it goes down,
got a problem tell me now,
Only thing thats on my mind is who gon run this town tonight,
who gon run this town tonite,
We gon run this town!

Wassup
Wassup

(Jay-Z)
We are,
yeah I said it we are,
this is Roc Nation,
Pledge your allegiance,
get y’all fatigues on,
all black everything,
black cards, blacks cars,
all black everything,
and that girls a blackbirds riding with their dillingers,
i get more in depp
if you boys really real enough
This is la Familia, I’ll explain later,
but for now let me get back to this paper,
[lyrics courtesy of killerhiphop.com]
I’m a couple bands down,
and im tryin get back,
I gave doug a grip and lost a flip for five stacks,
me im talking 5 comma, 6 zero’s, dot zero’s, jigga
back to running circles round n-ggas
now we squared up, Hold uuuup

(Rihanna – Chorus)
Life’s a game and but its not fair,
I break the rules so I don’t care,
So i keep doing my own thing,
walking tall against the rain,
victory’s within the mile,
almost there don’t give up now,
only thing thats on my mind is who’s gon run this town tonight,
heeeeey, heeeey, heeeey
who’s gon run this town tonite,

[Jay-Z]
We are,
Yeah I said it we are,
you can call me Ceasar,
in a dark ceasar,
please follow the leader,
So Eric B we are,
Microphone fiend, this the return of The God,
Peace God,
ah ah,
it aint no nobody fresher,
Im in Maison
ah, Martin Margiela
on the table screaming f-ck the other side they jealous,
we got a banquet full of broads,
they got a table full of fella’s,
yeaaaahh, and they aint spending no cake,
they should throw they hand in cos they aint got no spades,
yeah, my whole team got dough,
so my banquet is looking like millionaires row.
yeaaaaah.

[Chorus]

[Kanye West]
Its crazy how you can go from being Joe Blow,
to everybody on your d-ck, no homo,
i bought my whole family whips, no volvo’s
Next time I’m in Church please no photos,
police escorts, everybody passports,
this the life that everybody ask for
This the fast life we are on a crash course
what you think i rap for to push a f-cking Rav 4,
but i know that if I stay stunting,
all these girls only gon want one thing,
i can spend my whole life good will hunting,
only good gon come is its good when Im cumming,
she got an ass that will swallow up a G-string,
and up top ahh, 2 bee stings,
and im beasting off the Riesling,
and my n-gga just made it out the precinct,
we give a damn bout the drama that your dude bring,
im just tryin change the color on your mood ring,
[lyrics courtesy of killerhiphop.com]
Reebok baby, you need to try some new things,
have you ever had shoes without shoe strings?
whats that Ye? baby these heels,
is that a May… whaaat?
baby these wheels,
you trippin when you aint sippin, have a refill
you feel like you running huh, now you know how we feel,

Wassup (Jay-Z)

[Rihanna]
Heeeeey, heeeey, heeeeey,
we gon run this town tonight,
Wassup (Jay-Z)

Wow, this is one of the best tunes I’ve heard all year. The lyrics from Jay and Kanye are on point and Jay’s flow is crazy.

I think Roc Nation run everything right now. This is going to be a hot single. Jay-Z knows how to sell records!

Please feel free to correct the lyrics. I’m writing them real quick before I jump on a plane. I want these lyrics 100% so hit me up quick.

    ”Life a game and but its not fair,”
    Life’s a game but its not fair , Guess you could see this as a typing error.

    ”but i know that if stay keep stunting”
    But I know that if I stay stunting.

    This tune is sick, I’m going to be listening to this a lot.

    Here are some corrections—

    and that girls a black birds riding with their Dillingers,
    i get more than Depp,

    it’s a Public Enemies reference

    you can call me Caesar,
    in a dark caesar,

    Pretty sure he isn’t saying caesar twice, but I don’t know what he’s saying in the second line

    it aint no nobody fresher,
    Im in Maison Martin Margiela

    Martin Margiela’s a fashion designer,

    and up top ahh, 2 bee stings,
    and im beasting off the Riesling,

    wine reference

    whats that Ye? baby these heels,
    is that a May… whaaat?
    baby these wheels,

    He’s talking about his Maybach.

    The line is You Can Call Me Czar (meaning Emperor)

    correction its not get your fatigues on.
    Its “get your batiste on, all black everything, black cards, black cars, all blck everything”.
    in case your wondering what batiste is, it is a fine lightweight OPAQUE fabric made from cotton or polyester, hence “all black everything” fatigues are not black

    This song is fly. Jay always knows how to make a sick beat, he’s a legend. Rihanna has a voice like no other. Kanye’s lyrics are dope but he can’t come up with that shit on freestyle. He’s sick with a pad and pen but Jay is original off the top his head. Jay definitely killed it.

    Personally, I don’t think the song is tight musically-I can’t stand Rihanna’s irritating vocals. But symbolically, its really interesting. Jay is not even hiding his Illuminati affiliations in this song but the majority of his fans (as the above comments attest to) are blind to this. Jigga is basically saluting his satanic connections and y’all are all on his d***! CRAZY! Read the lyrics carefully and tell me WHAT EXACTLY IS JAY-Z ON ABOUT? CRAZY!!!!

    Do you recall a time when “great art” questioned the foundation or direction of our culture, the course of humanity, the nature of people and their values, the call for a higher purpose? “Can you IMAGINE? It’s easy if you try.” The lyrics of artists like Jay Z, Beyonce, Rihanna are barren and completely devoid of meaning and utterly soul less in their relative insignificance. The Hip Hop Movement in America was hijacked by thugs posing as artists more consumed with gaining control of the music industry diluting the strength of the voices of empowerment, equality and dignity and churning out distraction for the delusional masses. Jay Z is simply the Black Madonna and Beyonce is a convenient BEARD who is getting more rich off her business alliance with Jay Z. Jay Z & Beyonce are the black answer to Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, only Jay did not jump up and down on Oprah’s couch.

    I would suggest you fools google illuminati and the masons or find it on youtube, you would very quickly see the affiliations with the secret societies. Our youth has been blinded…it’s time to take them back. Check out Tupac’s killuminati cd…he knew about this shit. Wisen up young folks before their New World Order takes effect; it’s closer than you think. Run this town…hmmmm. What could that mean…
