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
