The Ruler's Back

Lyrics

Hauk, 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
 ♪
 Gather 'round party goers as if you're 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 envies 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
 ♪
 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 cloggy 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
