| «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'! |
