Lyrics for Beyonce – Run The World (Girls)

Girls, we run this motha (yeah!) x4
GIRLS!

Who run the world? Girls! x4
We run this motha? Girls! x4
Who run the world? Girls! x4

[Beyonce – Verse 1:]

Some of them men think they freak this like we do
But no they don’t
Make your cheques come at they neck,
Disrespect us no they won’t

Boy don’t even try to touch us
Boy this beat is crazy
This is how they made me
Used to take this 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 hoes can fade me
Im so good with this,
I remind you im so hood with this

Boy I’m just playing, come here baby
Hope you still like me, If you hate me
My persuasion can build a nation
In this our, our love we can devour
You’ll do anything for me

[Chorus]

Who run the world? Girls! x4
We run this motha? Girls! x4..
