Run This Town

Hey
Hey

I'm in my element, this is adrenaline, mixed in my melanin (woo!)
Ladies and gentlemen, I am so genuine, I ain't embellishin' (woo!)
I got that medicine, I'm what you never been, and I ain't just settlin' (woo!)
Ugh, I want another win, I am the evidence we could be better than this

You could try to lie, my city know the truth (woo!)
And you won't make it out unless you know the rules (woo!)
Real recognize real here (yeah), hot summers, but it's chill here (woo!)
Hope livin', and it's still here, but they still heavy with the steel here, yeah

We're gonna run this town
(Hey) run this town
You're lookin' at the new empire, we're gonna take it up higher
(Hey) run this town

Yeah, another day, another dollar, block is getting hotter, and you know it (woo!)
Only make it if you gotta lay up, or you hustle on the corner (woo!)
It's a struggle but they willing even though they feel the pressure on 'em (woo!)
They don't know, just like an Otis Redding song, you know the change is comin' (woo!)

Pipe dreams like ice cream, they get the cake, so they might be
On the top like icing, tryna figure out the right thing (woo!)
Spike Lee's on the block, we on the rise, this will not be televised (woo!)
This one's for me, you and I, we won't believe in the lies

We're gonna run this town
(Hey) run this town
You're lookin' at the new empire, we're gonna take it up higher
(Hey) run this town

I don't want to confront you, but I got to disrupt you
This is our house, we got you, right where we want you (woo!)
Thunderbolt, struck you, Samurai, we cut through
This is our house, we got you, right where we want you, yeah

We're gonna run this town
(Hey) we're gonna run this town

We're gonna run this town
(Hey) run this town
(Hey) you're lookin' at the new empire, we are gonna take it up higher
(Hey) lookin' at the new empire, we're gonna take it up higher
(Hey) lookin' at the new empire, we gonna take it up higher
