For they, is the kingdome and the power, and the glory
Forever...

The king's a ruler, the ruler rules (x4)

I'm the epitome of royalty, you versus me, it's a joke
I'm a rage, amazing blaze, you cigarette smoke
Your video's number one and that was part of my plan
Went from rock box to a whole countdown jam
Took rock music, switched and flipped and made it raw
Anyway you've played it, we've played it before in '84
Every show, a hundred thousand people or more
Famous still give us tours, and we be tryin' not to take em' all
I bake em' all quicker than sara lee, come battle me
Imagine that, what a sight that'll be
Front page of the times, i can read the headlines now
Rev run beat clown down, when tryin' to take his crown

The king's a ruler, the ruler rules (x4)

I'm the reason you started rhyming
I'm the reason rap sales started climbing
That's why i'm still headlining
I'm the king and before i leave your ass gonna learn
Yeah, y'all each wanna burn, wait your turn
Run, i'm a living legend, my suggestion is learn your lesson
I'll leave you stressing, confessing and begging for a blessing
And whatever your impression..it better be,
That we the top pedigree bringing y'all energy since '83
I run this here since way back when
I picked up a pair of adidas, and make y'all wear em' again
If you thought it, i done did it, heard it, i done spit it
New cats wanna pay their respect, son i'm with it
But if not, i'm a reclaim the top of the charts
Doin' shows with dough flows frip 'em apart
Other than that, i'll just be holding my own
Crown royalty up on a throne, for real

The king's a ruler, the ruler rules (x8)

[dmc]
Our father, who art in heaven
Hollowed be thy name, thy kingdome come
Thy will be done
Forever...

The king's a ruler, the ruler rules (x13)
