Girls, we run this motha (yeah!) x4
GIRLS!
Who run the world? Girls! x4
Who run this motha? Girls! x4

[Verse 1]
Some of them men think they freak this like we do
But no they don't
Make your checks come at they neck,
Disrespect us no they won't
Boy don't even try to touch this
Boy this beat is crazy
This is how they 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
Im so good with this,
I remind you im so hood with this
Boy im just playing, come here baby
Hope you still like me, If you hate me
My persuasion can build a nation
Endless power, our love we can devour
You'll do anything for me
[Chorus]
Who run the world? Girls! x4
Who run this motha? Girls! x4
Who run the world? Girls! x4
[Verse 2]
It's hot up in here
DJ don't be scared to run this, run this back
I'm rapping for the girls who taking over the world
Help me raise a glass for the college grads
Anyone rolling I'll let you know what time it is (check)
You can't hold me
I broke my 9 to 5 and copped 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
Then get back to business
See, you better not play me
Oh come here baby
Hope you still like me
If you hate me!
[Bridge]
My persuasion can build a nation
Endless power
Our love we can devour
You'll do anything for me
[Chorus]
Who run the world? Girls! x4
Who run this motha? Girls! x4
Who run the world? Girls! x4
Who are we?
What we run?
The world
Who are we?
What we run?
The world
Who are we?
What do we run?
We run the world
Who are we?
