Run It! Lyrics

[Produced by Scott Storch]

[Intro: Juelz Santana]
Okay, check it, check it, check it out
It's Santana again steppin', steppin', steppin' out (Uh)
One of the brand-new big-boy toys
I do big-boy things, I make big-boy noise, 'cause
I know what girls want (Want), I know what they like (Like)
They wanna stay up (Ayy!) and party all night
So bring a friend


[Verse 1: Chris Brown]
Let me talk to you, tell you how it is
I was thinking when I saw that body
Gotta get shawty, tell her what the young boy gon' do

Damn, them chicks with you gotta be your kin
Babe, pretty thick with the kick that's sick
That need to be hit, so tell me what y'all gon' do

[Pre-Chorus: Chris Brown, Juelz Santana]
I got friends and you got friends (Word, oh)
They hop out, and you hop in (Word, oh-oh)
I look fly and they jocking (Word)
The way you drop, drop makes me wanna pop
I got friends and you got friends (Word, hey)
They hop out, and you hop in (Word)
I look fly and they jocking (Word)
The way you drop, drop makes me wanna pop
[Chorus: Chris Brown]
Is ya man (Man) on the floor? (Floor)
If he ain't (Ain't), lemme know (Know)
Let me see if you can run it, run it
Girl, indeed I can run it, run it
Is ya man (Man) on the floor? (Floor)
If he ain't (Ain't), lemme know (Lemme know)
Let me see if you can run it, run it
Girl, indeed I can run it, run it (Come here!)


[Verse 2: Chris Brown]
You'll see, girl, I can set you off
Don't believe my age is gonna slow us down
I can definitely show you things to have you saying I can't be sixteen
Once I get in you won't let go
(And I) I'll have the girls wishing they were you
(And I) I know you heard about me
But guess what's going down if we leave

[Pre-Chorus: Chris Brown, Juelz Santana]
I got friends and you got friends (Word, oh)
They hop out, and you hop in (Word, oh)
I look fly and they jocking (Word)
The way you drop, drop makes me wanna pop
I got friends and you got friends (Word)
They hop out, and you hop in (Word, hey)
I look fly and they jocking (Word, ooh)
The way you drop, drop makes me wanna pop (Ooh, ooh)
[Chorus: Chris Brown, Juelz Santana]
Is ya man (Man) on the floor? (Floor, uh-huh)
If he ain't (Ain't), lemme know (Know, uh-huh)
Let me see if you can run it, run it (Yeah)
Girl, indeed I can run it, run it (Ayy)
Is ya man (Man) on the floor? (Floor, uh-huh)
If he ain't (Ain't), lemme know (Lemme know, uh-huh)
Let me see if you can run it, run it (Ayy)
Girl, indeed I can run it, run it (Let's go)


[Bridge: Chris Brown, Juelz Santana]
Girl, you feel right (Feel right)
Make me feel like (Feel like)
I wanna do a little something (Do a little something)
Ain't no thing 'less you do it for sure
Girl, the way that you're wearing them jeans is turning me on
I'm the hottest thing that's in these streets (DipSet, Santana)
So, baby, won't you rock me? (Ayy)

[Verse 3: Juelz Santana]
Make it drop, honey (Honey), make it pop, honey (Honey)
Whip whop, tick-tock to the clock for me
Don't stop doing that (Don't)
And shawty know I mean what I say so she won't stop doing that
Plus I heard if you can dance, you can bump
Well dance time is us, let's go, let's go (Yup)

We can get it in (Yup), we can gets some friends
Do it like the Ying Yang twins, start whispering
Wait 'til you see my ayy!
Wait 'til you see my ayy!
Let me fall back, you ain't ready for all that

Have you sleep late, real late, yeah, taking a long nap (Ayy)
You tell your friends to get with my friends
We can be friends, switch and meet friends

(Switch!) We can do it all night long and...
'Til the clock hit morning, ya dig? (Ayy)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
