[feat. Rihanna & Kanye West][Intro - Rihanna]Feel it comin' in the airHear the screams from everywhereI'm addicted to the thrillIt's a dangerous love affairCan't be scared when it goes downGot a problem, tell me nowOnly thing that's on my mindIs who's gonna run this town tonight...Is who's gonna run this town tonight...We gonna run this town[Verse 1 - Jay-Z]We areYeah I said itWe areThis is Roc NationPledge your allegianceGet y'all black tees onAll black everythingBlack cards, black carsAll black everythingAnd our girls are blackbirdsRidin' with they dillingersI'd get more in depthIf you boys really real enoughThis is la familiaI'll explain laterBut for now let me get back to this paperI'm a couple bands down and I'm tryin' to get backI gave Doug a grip, I lost a flip for five stacksYeah I'm talkin' five commasix zerosdot zeroHere it go...Back to runnin' circles 'round niggasNow we squared upHold up[Chorus - Rihanna]Life's a game but it's not fairI break the rules so I don't careSo I keep doin' my own thingWalkin' tall against the rainVictory's within the mileAlmost there, don't give up nowOnly thing that's on my mindIs who's gonna run this town tonightHey-hey-hey-hey-hey-heyHey-hey-hey-hey-heyHey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey(Is who's gonna run this town tonight)Hey-hey-hey-hey[Verse 2 - Jay-Z]We areYeah I said itWe areYou can call me CesarIn a dark CzarPlease follow the leaderSo Eric B. we areMicrophone fiendIt's the return of the godPeace god...(Auh!
