I run this city right and gritty
The spotlights will agree, I am a show you've got to see
Run this city, run this city
And it looks like yours is just ready to leave
Well, I'll be there, don't doubt it
Run this city, run this city
I run this city right and gritty
Run this city, run this city
I'm so full of me there's hardly room for you to breathe
I run this city right and gritty
Well, I'll be there, don't doubt it
I run this city right and gritty with a heavy hand
I run this city right and gritty
I run this city right and gritty
Because I run this city, run this city
I run this city right and gritty
Run this city, run this city
Because I run this city, run this city
Because I run this city, run this city
To the back I've got my army they're as big as the sea
If I hear you saying something about me
I run this city right and gritty, come on
No matter where you are, that's where I'll be
Yeah, I'll be there, don't doubt me
Run this city, run this city
No matter where you are, that's where I'll be
Because I run this city, run this city
Well, I'll be there, don't doubt it
No matter where you are, that's where I'll be
To the left I've got my friends and they're ready to swing
Yeah, I'll be there, don't doubt me
I run this city right and gritty
Yeah, I'll be there, don't doubt me
Run this city, run this city
