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

Forever...



The King's a ruler, the ruler rules 





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 



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 





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
