Jay Z - The Ruler's Back

[Produced by Bink!]

[Intro]

Uh-huh uhh, uhh, uh-uhh

Uh-huh uhh, uhh, uhh

Wooo! Wooo! Wooo! Wooo!

I, am, back, niggas

Ha ha ha ha ha.. uh-oh, uh-oh - wooo!

Ladies and gentlemen -- H, to the Izzo

I wanna thank everybody out there for they purchase

I surely appreciate it - woo!

What you about to witness is my thoughts

Just my thoughts, man—right or wrong

Just what I was feeling at the time, uhh

You ever felt like this, vibe with me

Walk with a nigga, man, just vibe with me

[Verse 1]

Yo, gather round hustlers—that's if you still livin'

And get on down to that ol' Jig rhythm

Here's a couple of jewels to help you get through your bid in prison

A ribbon in the sky, keep your head high

I, Young 'Vito, voice of the young people

Mouthpiece for hustlers - I'm back, motherfuckers

Your reign on the top was shorter than leprechauns

Y'all can't fuck with Hov', what type of X y'all on?

I got great lawyers for cops so dress warm

Charges don't stick to dude, he's Teflon

I'm too sexy for jail like I'm Right Said Fred

I'm not guilty, now gimme back my bread

Mr. District Attorney, I'm not sure if they told you

I'm on TV every day, where the fuck could I go to?

Plus - Hov' don't run, Hov' stand and fight

Hov' a soldier, Hov' been fightin' all his life so

What could you do to me? It's not new to me

Sue me? Fuck you, what's a couple dollars to me?

But you will respect me, simple as that

Or I got no problem goin' back

I'm representin' for the seat where Rosa Parks sat

Where Malcolm X was shot, where Martin Luther was popped

So off we go, let the trumpets blow

And hold on, because the driver of the mission is a pro

The ruler's back

[Interlude]

Uhh, uh-huh uhh uhh

I, am, BACK, niggas - woo! woo! woo! woo!

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Turn the motherfuckin' music up

The ruler's back

I, am, back, niggas

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]

Well, in these times—well, at least to me

There's a lot of rappers out there tryin' to sound like Jay-Z

I'll help you out, here's what you do

You gonna need a wide lens 'cause that's a VER' big shoe

And you got a couple of beans and you don't have a clue?

You situation is bleek, I'ma keep it real cause

Fuckin' with me, you gotta drop a mill

'Cause if you gonna cop somethin' you gotta cop for real

Don't only talk it, walk like it - from the bricks to the booth

I could predict the future like Cleo the psychic

You can't date skee-os and wife it

And you can't sell me bullshit, we know the prices

So what your life is?

We gon' roll 'til the wheels fall off - y'all muh'fuckers check the tires

Off we go, let the trumpets blow

And hold on, because the driver of that Bentley is a pro

[Interlude]

Uhh, uhh

I, am, back, niggas

Feels good! Ha

Pah, holla at me!

The ruler's back

Yeah.. whoo!

Yeah.. yeah.. yeah..

[Outro]

Now bounce, c'mon, bounce

Uhh, woo! Woo!

Bounce, c'mon, bounce

Uhh, uhh, yeah, yeah

Bounce, c'mon, bounce

Uhh, yeah, just my thoughts ladies and gentlemen

Just what I'm feelin at the time, you know what I mean?

Knahmean?
