welcome to my motherfuckin party welcome to my show let's get ready everybody you know what we doing tonight in Philly we live tonight we Up tonight [Intro — loud, boisterous host voice, crowd chant under it]
“Mess around and get the whole block lit up, uh-huh”
“It don’t take a genius to see y’all don’t know me”
[Riser — crowd swelling, hands clapping, sirens of momentum]
[Hook — lead shouts, crowd answers in Philly]
“Who runs this? ”
[Crowd] “Who runs this?”
“Tell me who runs this! ”
[Crowd] “Who runs this!”
“Who runs this? ”
[Crowd] “Who runs this?”
“Tell me who runs this! ”
[Crowd] “Who runs this!”
[Verse 1 — deep, loud, complex opening, simple pocket]
“I came in heavy with the talk and the motion,
Whole room shook when I stepped in the portion,
They been asleep, now they woke to the warning,
I been that voice since the early morning.
Pop goes the pressure when the beat get loud,
Now they all lean when I walk through the crowd,
Angel on my shoulder when the night get rough,
Heavy in the chest but I still stand tough.”
[Ad-lib: “Yeah!” “Uh!” “Talk to ’em!”]
[Verse 2 — witty, sharp, same content zone]
“You can’t fake this, the energy real,
I move like a headline, you move like a deal,
They hear my name and the whole place spin,
I don’t chase attention, it always come in.
Cold on the edge but the voice stay warm,
Big-room pressure when I step in form,
If they want a response, let the whole crowd sing,
Philly in the air and the whole block ring.”
[Ad-lib: “Come on!” “Say it again!” “Woo!”]
[Verse 3 — stronger drive, chant-ready finish]
“Everything I say got weight and spark,
I light up the room when it’s still too dark,
Bass in the chest and the floor gonna shake,
Every move I make got the whole place awake.
I don’t need much, just a beat and a chance,
One voice up front and a whole crowd dance,
If you want that power, let the hook come back,
Let the block respond when I ride that track.”
[Hook — repeated, bigger crowd response]
“Who runs this? ”
[Crowd] “Who runs this?”
“Tell me who runs this! ”
[Crowd] “Who runs this!”
[Outro — chant fades, crowd echo, bass still rolling]
“Who runs this…”
[Crowd] “Who runs this…”
