The Ruler's Back |
«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'! |
