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 stop, y'all cats gonna learn
Yeah, y'all niggas wanna burn, so wait your turn
Run, I'm a living legend, my suggestion is learn your lesson
I'll leave you stressing, confessing and desperate striving 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 shells, 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)
