Who Runs This Room

Lyrics

[Intro] Ha, come on, we’re stepping in No borrowed lines, I make the room begin [Verse 1] Walk in, fresh press, camera by the door Little black notebook with a secret in the drawer They study every move, I leave them one more clue Then I change the whole equation before they know what’s new No old names on my phone, let the past stay still I’m too busy making headlines with a sharper kind of skill Everybody turns around when I cross that floor One small look from me and they’re asking for more [Pre-Chorus] Don’t wait up, turn it louder Raise your hands, we own the hour If you came to watch me work Better brace yourself first [Chorus] Who’s gonna run this room? Me Hair set, nails done, all clean Who got everybody locked in? Me Say my name, say my name, say me Me, me, me, me, that’s the refrain Me, me, me, lighting up the frame If they want a little trouble, let it be One look, one move, everybody knows it’s me [Verse 2] New fit, old rules never fit me right I can turn a quiet corner into Friday night They bring a little gossip, I bring something true By the time they finish talking, I’m already out of view No apology note, no permission slip I put the whole plan together with a fingertip They can try to keep up, but the timing’s too quick I’m the reason every conversation starts with “did you see that?” [Pre-Chorus] Don’t wait up, turn it louder Raise your hands, we own the hour If you came to watch me work Better brace yourself first [Chorus] Who’s gonna run this room? Me Hair set, nails done, all clean Who got everybody locked in? Me Say my name, say my name, say me Me, me, me, me, that’s the refrain Me, me, me, lighting up the frame If they want a little trouble, let it be One look, one move, everybody knows it’s me [Bridge] I don’t need a crown to make the table turn I don’t chase a spark, I’m the lesson they learn Keep your guesses coming, keep your eyes on the scene By the time you say my name, I’m already queen [Final Chorus] Who’s gonna run this room? Me Hair set, nails done, all clean Who got everybody locked in? Me Say my name, say my name, say me Me, me, me, me, let it ring Me, me, me, watch the whole place swing If they want a little trouble, let it be One look, one move, everybody knows it’s me [Outro] No copy, no question, no in-between You know who walked in You know who runs the scene
