[Intro - Adrenalene]
Feel it coming in the air
Hear the screams from everywhere
I’m addicted to thrill
It's a dangerous love affair
Can’t be scared when it goes down
Got a problem tell me now
Only thing that's on my mind
Is who's gon' run this town tonight?
Who's gon' run this town tonite?
We gon' run this town
[Verse 1 - Azrael]
We are/ yeah I said it/ We are
One Regiment/ so I'ma pledge my allegiance
Get my fatigues on/ All black anything
You can never see us coz we black out everything
As One La Familia so try to get familiar
Coz we under the radar with the mic paraphernalia
I stay simple but you feel the depth
You burn bridges while I bridge the gap
The element of elegance got no comparison
The iLLchemist and I'm mixin' up the medicine
The reverend/ so I'ma run coz I'm The Emcee
Explodin' mic bombs like T-N-T
[Chorus - Adrenalene]
Life's a game but it's not fair
I break the rules so I don't care
So I keep doin' my own thing
Walkin' tall against the rain
Victory's within the mile
Almost there, don't give up now
Only thing that's on my mind
Is who's gonna run this town tonight?
[Verse 2 - Azrael]
We rep the X and we runnin Singapura
Recitin every rap verse like a Sura
A symbolist so I don't really have a face
I just mark the emblem of X up in ya place
One day it's farewell to the game like "bye bye"
We hustle hard like it's straight do or die
Coz everything we do is straight D-I-Y
Notice how I always say "we" and not "I"
Whatever the outcome know that I try
And that's the reason why sometimes I cry
They keep askin' "Who runnin this town?"
But I won't answer that, just ask around...
[Chorus]
[Verse 3 - Bless]
We are/ Pardon me/ I am/ One man/
So I'ma pledge my allegiance to no man/
But one mic/ My stand/ Both feet/ On my land/
Go west/ For Kanye/ Down here/ I'm the man/
Old school/ New Gen/ November Child/
Da Pham/ 88, G.O.D, 65/ all fams/ SG/
Born and bred/ Red and white/ From the start/
And I'm XS/ Yeah, where it matters/ In the heart/
And X'sylum too/ Bedsty/ All the crews/ Spoken/
Unspoken too/ We're one whole/ Never two/
Me?/ Just "a lion" man/ Solitary/ No crew/
But change that to we/ Then that's a whole "Pride" to you/
See it's crazy to hustle on for no dough/
No returns, no prospect, that's no joke/
But we keep rocking on even if there's no hope/
Coz as long as it's Hiphop, man, we're not broke/
And that's the everyday scene here in Lion City/
Mass quantity with quality and low currency/
But OD'ed with passion/ Direction is flight/
For all here/ It's never for fun man/ It's for life/
Yeah it's Freakin' A and Jack B back to get down/
Grade A, local brand, emcees in foreign sound/
And they keep asking, "Who running this town?"
Well if they don't know bro/ Well they do now/
God Bless...
