| «Halt, who goes yonder?»
|
| «It is I, sire, Richard of Nottingham»
|
| «Well, speak up man, what is it?»
|
| «News from the east, sire, Rick the Ruler has returned!»
|
| Scratches: Stop Lyin'!
|
| Gather 'round party goers as if your still livin'
|
| And get on down to the old Slick rhythm
|
| Now this one here is called the Ruler my dear
|
| It’s a mere party booster that will set things clear
|
| It’s a hundred percent proof from champions of truth
|
| And if you feel you need spirit I’ll bring back your youth
|
| Relax your mind, and folks unwind
|
| And be kind to a rhythm that you hardly find
|
| And off we go, let the trumpets blow
|
| Well hold on, because the driver of the mission is a pro
|
| The Ruler’s back
|
| Now in these times, well, at least to me
|
| There’s a lot of people out here tryin' to sound like Ricky D
|
| Not tryin' to cause trouble cause it’s really a small thing
|
| But they’re bitin' what I’m writin'
|
| God it’s great being the king
|
| Some sound alright, but then they act illy
|
| Try conquering my crown and that’s really very silly
|
| Now I’m not the type that gets upset
|
| Try to disrespect folks just to earn respect
|
| But learn this fact, whether white or black
|
| I can’t get conquered in my style of rap
|
| For jealousy and envy are dumb ones' tools
|
| So Ricky says nothing, he keeps his cool
|
| Revenge is not a mission that the Ruler’s on
|
| Just forgiveness required for the wrong that’s done
|
| So off we go, let the trumpets blow
|
| And hold on, because the driver of the mission is a pro
|
| The Ruler’s back
|
| Scratches: Hit it!
|
| Now one day when I was chillin' at this outside jam
|
| I seen folks havin' a ball and plus clappin' their hands
|
| To beats of records that conquer the streets
|
| Like Pee Wee Herman and Clubhouse Treats
|
| Girls was chillin', boys rule as usual
|
| The slacks, the golds, the rings, I hope I’m not confusin' y’all
|
| But everyone in the house looks smashin'
|
| Fresh clothes on their butts and nothing out of fashion
|
| And just when you thought nothing couldn’t get better
|
| A news flash concealed in a bright yellow letter
|
| A kid ran up to the mike and said «Alert, hear this,»
|
| Cleared his crummy throat and then began to persist
|
| He said «Hallelujah, kids hear this
|
| The Ruler’s back and he’s here to assist»
|
| So off we go, let the trumpets blow
|
| And hold on because the driver of the mission is a pro
|
| The Ruler’s back
|
| Scratches: Stop Lyin'! |
