“Run It!” is the debut single from R&B singer Chris Brown, who was only 16 years old at the time of release. The track features rapper Juelz Santana—who later collaborated with Chris on 2009’s “Back to the Crib.” The single has been described as a de-crunked version of Usher’s 2004 single “Yeah!.”
“Run It!” peaked at #1 on Billboard’s 100 chart, where it spent a total of 5 weeks on top. It was also #1 in Australia and New Zealand, and a top 10 hit in several European countries.
The single spawned a remix version featuring rappers Bow Wow and Jermaine Dupri which was performed at The 2006 Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards—along with “Yo (Excuse Me Miss).”

[Intro: Juelz Santana]
Okay, check it, check it, check it out

I do big boy things, I make big boy noise, ’cause
I know what girls want (Want), I know what they like (Like)
They wanna stay up (Ayy!) and party all night
So bring a friend
[Verse 1: Chris Brown]
Let me talk to you, tell you how it is
I was thinking when I saw that body
Gotta get shawty, tell her what the young boy gon’ do
Damn, them chicks with you gotta be your kin
Babe, pretty thick with the kick that’s sick
That need to be hit, so tell me what y’all gon’ do
[Pre-Chorus: Chris Brown & Juelz Santana]

They hop out, and you hop in (Word, oh-oh)

[Verse 2: Chris Brown]
You’ll see, girl, I can set you off
Don’t believe my age is gonna slow us down
I can definitely show you things to have you saying I can’t be sixteen
Once I get in you won’t let go
(And I) I’ll have the girls wishing they were you
(And I) I know you heard about me
But guess what’s going down if we leave
[Pre-Chorus: Chris Brown & Juelz Santana]
I got friends and you got friends (Word, oh)
They hop out, and you hop in (Word, oh)

The way you drop, drop makes me wanna pop

They hop out, and you hop in (Word, hey)
I look fly and they jocking (Word, ooh)
The way you drop, drop makes me wanna pop (Ooh, ooh)
[Chorus: Chris Brown & Juelz Santana]

So, baby, won’t you rock me? (Ayy)
[Verse 3: Juelz Santana]
Make it drop, honey (Honey), make it pop, honey (Honey)

Plus I heard if you can dance, you can bump
Well dance time is us, let’s go, let’s go (Yup)
We can get it in (Yup), we can gets some friends
