Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 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
 Is who's gonna run  this town tonight
 We gonna run  this town
We  are, yeah I said it we  are
 This is Roc Nation,  pledge your allegiance
 Get y'all 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  zero 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
 Heeeey hey  hey hey hey hey
 Hey hey  hey hey hey
 Heeeey hey  hey hey hey hey
 Is who's gonna run  this town tonight  (Hey hey hey hey)
We  are yeah I said it we  are
 You can call me Cesar  in a dark Czar
 Please follow the leader  so Eric B. we  are
 Microphone fiend  it's the return of thee  God peace God
 Ah ah and ain't  nobody fresher
 I'm in  mason ah Martin  Margiela
 On the tape  we're screamin' fuck the other side,  they jealous
 We got a bankhead  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 millionaire's  'fro (yeah)
 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 gonna  want one thing
I  could spend my whole life good  will hunting
Only  good gon' come is as good  when I'm cumming
She  got a ass that'll swallow  up a g-string
And  up top, unh,  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 your dude 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)
 Heeeey hey  hey hey hey hey
 Hey hey  hey hey hey
 Heeeey hey  hey hey hey hey
 Hey hey  hey hey hey  (wassup)
 Heeeey hey  hey hey hey hey
 Hey hey  hey hey hey
 Heeeey hey  hey hey hey hey
 We gonna run  this town tonight
 x2
 Wassup!
