Run This Town (Live) - JAY-Z & Beanie Sigel

Hold on 'cause I'm letting go I'm gonna lasso your heart like a rodeo I'm gonna give you some 'til you want some more 'Cause all I see is an open door And I see where it's leading me All of this energy, been bottled up way too long It's powerful, powerful You see what I'm getting at I'm ready for all of that If I'm not a star, you're blind I've got rings on my fingers And glitter in my hair I bought a one-way ticket And I just got here I'm gonna run this town Run this town I'm gonna run this town Run this town I've got high-heel stilettos And I'm kicking in doors And kissing your ass ain't what my lipstick's for I'm gonna run this town Run this town I'm gonna run this town Run this town tonight I'm climbing high, but there ain't no net You'd like to see me jump a bit Well, everyday's just like Russian Roulette I'm gonna play, play, play with no regrets 'Cause I'm tired of second best Tired of sitting bitch Tired of hypocrites Twisted like licorice I'm crushing them in my fist Hushing their ignorance You had your chance, now it's mine I've got rings on my fingers And glitter in my hair I bought a one-way ticket And I just got here I'm gonna run this town Run this town I'm gonna run this town Run this town I've got high heel stilettos And I'm kicking in doors And kissing your ass ain't what my lipstick's for I'm gonna run this town Run this town I'm gonna run this town Run this town Tonight, nothing's standing in my way There's no obstacles anymore In a minute, I'll be on my way To the moment I've been waiting for I've got rings on my fingers And glitter in my hair Bought a one-way ticket and I just got here I'm gonna run this town Run this town I'm gonna run this town tonight I've got rings on my fingers And glitter in my hair I bought a one-way ticket and I just got here I'm gonna run this town Run this town I'm gonna run this town Run this town I've got high-heel stilettos And I'm kicking in doors And kissing your ass ain't what my lipstick's for I'm gonna run this town Run this town I'm gonna run this town Run this town I'm gonna run, I'm gonna run, gonna run Run this town I'm gonna run, I'm gonna run, gonna run Run this town tonight Run this town, run this town tonight I'm gonna run this town, run this town tonight (Tonight, tonight, tonight...)

Seventeen, we owned those streets Parking lot, that was our spot That's where we'd always meet And we'd roll on out in a pickup truck parade Stake our claim with a fire in a field in the middle of Nowhere, USA We'd light the midnight up We'd drive too fast We'd get too loud We thought we made the world go 'round Nothin' but a bunch of time to kill Set up on the big hill Make a toast, drink it down Say, yeah man, we run this town All the girls next door They'd meet us out there They couldn't wait to get away And come and let down their hair We were rough around the edges They were sweet as they could be They were way too good But they still let us steal a little kiss before they'd leave Guess they thought we were cool because We'd drive too fast We'd get too loud Yeah, we thought we made the world go 'round Drop it down in four-wheel Set up on a big hill And make a toast, drink it down Say, yeah man, we run this town From crazy kids to dirt road kings Oh, we didn't know nothin' But we knew everything We'd drive too fast We'd get too loud We thought we made the world go 'round Nothin' but a bunch of time to kill Set up on the big hill Make a toast, drink it down Say, yeah man, we run this town High five and look around Damn right, we run this town Man, I love this town Come on
