Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Feel it comin' in the air
Hear 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
[Verse 2]
We are, yeah, 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 ****
I 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 Doug a grip and lost a flip for five stacks
Yeah, I'm talkin' five comma, six zeroes, dot zero, here Doug
Back to runnin' circles round *****, now we squared up
[Verse 3]
We are, yeah, I said it, we are
You can call me Caesar, in a dark Caesar
Please follow the leader, so Eric B we are
Microphone fiend, this is the return of the god
Peace, god, ah, ah, it ain't nobody fresher
I'm in Maison, ah, Martin Margiela
On the table, screamin' "F**k the other side, they jealous"
We got a banquette full of broads
They got a table full of fellas
Yeah, and they ain't spendin' no cake
They should throw they hand in, 'cause they ain't got no spades
Yeah, my whole team got dough
So my banquette is lookin' like millionaire's row
[Verse 4]
Feel it comin' in the air
Hear the screams from everywhere
I'm addicted to the thrill
It's a dangerous love affair
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
Who's gonna run this town tonight?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
