Some of them men think they freak this

Like we do, but no they don't

Make your check, come at their neck

Disrespect us, no they won't

Boy, don't even try to touch this (Touch this)

Boy, this beat is crazy (Crazy)

This is how they made me (Made me)

Houston, Texas, baby

This goes out to all my girls

That's in the club rocking the latest

Who will buy it for themselves and get more money later

I think I need a barber

None of these niggas can fade me

I'm so good with this, I remind you, I'm so hood with this

Boy, I'm just playing, come here, baby

Hope you still like me, F-U, pay me


My persuasion can build a nation

Endless power, with our love we can devour

You'll do anything for me


Who run the world? Girls! Girls!

Who run the world? Girls!

Who run the world? Girls!

Who run the world? Girls!

Who run the world? Girls!

Who run this mother? Girls!

Who run this mother? Girls!

Who run this mother? Girls!

Who run the world? Girls!

Who run the world? Girls!

Who run the world? Girls!

Who run the world? Girls! Girls!


It's hot up in here

DJ don't be scared to run this, run this back

I'm repping for the girls who taking over the world

Help me raise a glass for the college grads

41' Rollie to let you know what time it is, check

You can't hold me (You can't hold me)

I work my nine to five and I cut my check

This goes out to all the women getting it in

Get on your grind

To the other men that respect what I do

Please accept my shine

Boy, you know you love it

How we're smart enough to make these millions

Strong enough to bear the children (Children)

Then get back to business

See, you better not play me (Me)

Oh, come here, baby

Hope you still like me

F-U, pay me


My persuasion can build a nation

Endless power, with our love we can devour

You'll do anything for me


Who run the world? Girls! Girls!

Who run the world? Girls!

Who run the world? Girls!

Who run the world? Girls!

Who run the world? Girls!

Who run this mother? Girls!

Who run this mother? Girls!

Who run this mother? Girls!

Who run this mother? Girls!

Who run the world? Girls!

Who run the world? Girls!

Who run the world? Girls!

Who run the world? Girls!


Who are we? What we run? The world

(Who run this mother? Yeah!)

Who are we? What we run? The world

(Who run this mother? Yeah!)

Who are we? What do we run? We run the world

(Who run this mother? Yeah!)

Who are we? What we run? We run the world

Who run the world? Girls! Girls!
