Run This Town Lyrics

Jay-Z

Feel it comin' in the air And the screams from everywhere I'm addicted to the thrill It's a dangerous love affair
Can't be scared when it goes down Got a problem, tell me now Only thing that's on my mind Is who's gonna run this town tonight
Is who's gonna run this town tonight We gonna run this town
We are, ya I said it, we are This is Roc Nation, pledge your allegiance Get your fatigues on, all black everything Black cards, black cars, all black everything
And our girls are blackbirds ridin' with they Dillingers I'd get more in depth if you boys really real enough This is la familia, I'll explain later But for now, let me get back to this paper
I'm a couple bands down, and I'm tryin' to get back I gave the other grip, I lost a flip for five stacks Yeah I'm talkin' five comma, six zeros, dot zeros, here it go Back to runnin' circles 'round niggas, now we squared up Hold up
Life's a game, but it's not fair I break the rules, so I don't care So I keep doin' my own thing Walkin' tall against the rain
Victory's within the mile Almost there, don't give up now Only thing that's on my mind Is who's gonna run this town tonight
Hey, hey Hey, hey (Is who's gonna run this town tonight)
We are, ya, I said it, we are You can call me Caesar in a dark CSAR Please follow the leader, so Eric B. we are Microphone fiend, it's the return of the god, peace god
Uh, uh, and ain't nobody fresher I'm in Mason, uh, Martin Margiela On the table screamin' fuck the other side, they jealous We got a banquet full of broads, they got a table full of fellas
And they ain't spending no cake They should throw they hand in, 'cause they ain't got no spades My whole team got dough So my Bankhead is lookin' like millionaires' 'fro
Life's a game but it's not fair I break the rules, so I don't care So I keep doin' my own thing Walkin' tall against the rain
Victory's within the mile Almost there, don't give up now Only thing that's on my mind Is who's gonna run this town tonight
Hey, hey Hey, hey (Is who's gonna run this town tonight)
It's crazy how you can go from being Joe Blow To everybody on your dick, no homo I bought my whole family whips, no Volvos Next time I'm in church, please no photos
Police escorts, everybody passports This the life that everybody ask for This a fast life, we are on a crash course What you think I rap for, to push a fucking Rav-4?
But I know that if I stay stunting All these girls only gon' want one thing I could spend my whole life "Good Will Hunting" Only good gon' come is as good when I'm coming
She got a ass that'll swallow up a g-string And up top, uh, two bee stings And I'm beasting off the riesling And my nigga just made it out the precinct
We give a damn about the drama that you do bring I'm just tryin' to change the color on your mood ring Reebok, baby, you need to drop some new things Have you ever had shoes without shoe strings?
What's that 'Ye? Baby, these heels Is that a May, what, baby, these wheels You trippin' when you ain't sippin', have a refill You feelin' like you runnin', huh, now you know how we feel
Wassup! Hey, hey, hey, hey Wassup! Hey, hey, hey We gonna run this town tonight Wassup!

There are some lyrics missing here. I think its been edited a wee little bit. Devil worship isn't the problem with this one. That #!@%*# just silly. Its goes a little farther down the rabbit hole than that. But that's my opinion. Do some research. Look closely at the video. Then form your own opinion. #truth

Wow.... just wow.... this is sad, I know it was a while ago but I have to comment on this. So let us look at your evidence: 1) "dont be scared when it goes down, got a problem tell me now only thing thats on my mind is whos gonna run this town tonight" yeaaa that pretty much said enough No It really didn't say enough, like greenkitkat said it is a gang reference, to if you are scared of a fight tell us now and you won't roll with us tonight, (as they prowl the streets) 2)"I break the rules so i DONT CARE I keep doin my own thing walking tall against the rain" also the most IMPORTANT verse to me is "victory is within the mile almost there dont give up now" ok that all pretty much tells you that they(jay z and rihanna) want to run this town Wow, no kidding they want to run the town... that wouldn't be the name of the song or anything... but again as greenkitkat said they are talking about how life isn't fair so they decieded to stop following the laws and do their own thing, (i.e. join/start a gang) and last time I checked gangs didn't follow too many laws. 3) also IF you've SEEN the video it shows you that they are putting up a sign (pyramid over thier eye) and thats the "devil worshiping" sign..... Again common misconception, pyramid with an eye is not a devil worshiping sign it is a symbol for the allseeing eye a masonic symbol derived fromt he egyptians, you can't believe eerything you read in your "Illuminati are Real" newsletter. So I conclude that after all of your "research" it turns out you should...... do more research, because they DON'T (in this video) worship the devil.

Okay. i thought i had seen the limit of sheer ignorance and stupidity from people that i couldn't be shocked again. I was amazingly wrong when i saw that people were relating this song to devil worship. Of all the songs on the planet right now that would be more likely candidates for this particular controversy people pick this one. msbeezy13, the first verse you mentioned, "Can't be scared when it goes down, got a problem tell me now, the only thing on my mind, is who's gonna run this town tonight." doesn't say or imply anything about devil worship and since you seem rather ignorant of slang of any sort i should break it down line by line for you.... can't be scared when it goes down means when you about to get into a fight you can not be afraid and you shouldn't show fear. the next line is got a problem tell me now should be self explanatory, if you have a problem tell that person to their face so nothing does "go down". the next lines means all she is preoccupied with what gang or is going to be the dominate force in their area that night. it has nothing to do with actual city politics! Next passage, "i break the rules so i don't care, i keep doing my own thing walking tall against the rain." first line, i break the rules so i don't care, means that they already break the rules so why should they care because they are going to keep doing what they are doing anyways so what should they care. "walking tall against the rain, obviously means staying strong and going against the grain so to say. staying strong in the face of anything. victory is within the mile means that they are close to running the town. almost there don't give up now means they are to close to give up their goal. the choreography in the video is most likely one of two things, i sign to someone, or a gang sign or two, part of the video the director or choreographer made up.

Ummm yea this song does kinda make me wonder if they do worship the devil ok read the lyrics CLOSELY and try to figure out the message dont u wonder wen she says "dont be scared when it goes down, got a problem tell me now only thing thats on my mind is whos gonna run this town tonight" yeaaa that pretty much said enough and also when she says"i break the rules so i DONT CARE I keep doin my own thing walking tall against the rain" also the most IMPORTANT verse to me is "victory is within the mile almost there dont give up now" ok that all pretty much tells you that they(jay z and rihanna) want to run this town and also IF you've SEEN the video it shows you that they are putting up a sign (pyramid over thier eye) and thats the "devil worshiping" sign.....so after all my research it turns out to be they DO worship the devil and if they DIDNT then they would come out and tell the media that its TRUE or FALSE RUMORS soo Until they come out and say the TRUTH then i will stop believen all this non-since!!!!

What your saying is true,this song obviously tells almost everybody that the devil wants to take over the world,well it depends on how you look at it but its an obvious case that the lyrics were wrote by the devil himself,the word of God tells us the be ready

izzletiger

this is a good song not a devil worshipper song it has nothiing to do with religion

twin_angels_mom

WHOA!!! @ jesuslovesyoutoo & truthbringer, ur taking the whole song out of context the song has nothing to do woth the last supper, devil worship or race( HELLO HE'S BLACK!!!!!!) and i suggest that you get a better hobby than sitting there over analyzing songs in which you'll B**** about later. I agree with guest123 you cant listen to a song and spin it to correspond with your particular rant for the day! And for religious people you're doing alot of judging dont u think?

Truthbringer

Jesuslovesyoutoo has it right, your voice has been heard. All these famous people are devil worshipers. your not the only one thinking right man.

Truthbringer

Jesuslovesyoutoo, your voice has been heard, people are just too caught up in their catchy beats and "cool lyrics" to see that theese famous people are devil worshipers. Just letting you know that your not the only one thinking clearly.
