If I Ruled The World Lyrics

Huh-huh-huh, UH UH

Uh-huh, huh, huh, mm mmm

...Mm mmm

Yes yes y'all

The best y'all, yes yes y'all

Huh, huh, huh, huh... yes y'all

If I ruled the world, was king on the throne

I'd make peace in every culture, build the homeless a home

I'm not runnin, for Congress or the President

I'm just here, to tell the world, how my story went

You see - first it was a dream, I was livin in Rome

And then I moved to London, bought a brand new home

And everywhere I went, I drew lots of attention

Like a stretch limousine, one of those new inventions

It took a few years 'fore the day had come

But I was ruler of the WORLD ranked number one

So I headed towards Washington to claim the crown

Let the whole world know that, the King was in town

As I, arrived, the crowd started to cheer

And then someone yelled out, "The King is here!"

So I headed toward stage, to make a speech

About the new style of living I was gonna teach, uh-huh

If I ruled the world...

Huh-huh, huh-huh uh-huh uh-huh

I'd love all the girls... I love em love em baby!!

Black diamonds and pearls... ooh yeahh yeahh

If I ruled the world...

People started flowin as they reached for my hand

I said, "Thank you for bringin me to the Promised Land

But now I must go, say goodbye to everybody

Tonight I'll see you all at my Super Dinner Party"

And late that night, at my Super Dinner Party

I was dancin to the beat and entertainin La-Di-Da-Di

The music started endin, it was time for a speech

The crowd started sittin as I rose from my feet

And this was once a dream; I explained to the crowd

But now, I rule the world, and I feel, so very proud

Excuse me please, for stoppin this show

I just had to thank you all, huh, and me so

My first day in office, the King on the throne

I spent my first three hours on the telephone

You know with newsmen reporters, and votes too

I had so many calls, I didn't know what to do

You know out that office I continued to work

I signed so many papers, my fingers started to hurt

Then I shook off the pain, say this ain't no thing

Cause there's nothin in the world like bein number one KING!

If I ruled the world...

Huh huh huh huh, huh-huh huh-huh

I'd love all the girls... I love em love em baby!!

Black diamonds and pearls... ooh yeahh yeahh

If I ruled the world... whoawowaahhhyeahhhhhhhh

...If I ruled the world

{AJ Scratch cuts up the track for a bit

Now I rule the world and now, I'm on top

And I'm rollin with folks that could never be stopped

And I'm here to let you know this is where I belong

And to you sucker MC's that sing my song

And it's a song that's STRONG about right and wrong

And I'm rock it to you baby baby all night long

And it's a song about love, and happiness

In a world of peace, and you know that's fresh

Now I'm the KING, and I want you to know

That I'm the Master Blaster Rapper who's runnin the show

And to all of you rappers in every country

You better stop what you're doin, and listen to me

Cause we gotta stop war, and use unity

To fight crime and hunger and poverty

Cause the African baby is dyin overseas

While you sucker mission politicians bustin out Z's

Huh, twenty million people all unemployed

While the rich man try to play Pretty Boy Floyd

While the working class just struggles hard

Try to make ends meet against all odds

While the poor man can't even deal with life

You know he tried to escape, and smoked the coke on the pipe

And it's time for a CHANGE, to a better way

Cause the sun has GOTTA shine through the cloudy day

So LISTEN UP world, while I teach this class

And take heed to the message or we ain't gonna last

Cause I know, the solution, is the contribution

Of woman and man to just join the revolution

That'll take your brain to a higher plane

And help you deal in a world that's gone insane

With the problems that I know we can stop

From the ruler of the world and the man on top

But the years went by, and time was up

And the ruler of the world had ran out of luck

And all the people at the time who said they were my friends

Didn't know me when my job had come to an end

They came up to my face, as happy as can be

He was running his mouth like, Muhammad Ali

So I shook his hand calmly as I headed to the door

On my way to the ghetto to treat once more

If I ruled the world...

A-huh-huh-huh, a-huh-huh-huh

I'd love all the girls... I love em love em baby!!

Black diamonds and pearls... ooh yeahh yeahh

If I ruled the world... yeahhhhhhhh

If I ruled the world... if I ruled the world

I'd love all the girls... I'd love em love em baby!!

Black diamonds and pearls... ooh yeahh yeahh, oh yeah yeah

If I ruled the world... whoahahayeahhhhhhhh

If I ruled the world... yeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeah

Yea yea yea, yea yea yea

I'd love all the girls... you know I'd love em love em baby!!

Black diamonds and pearls... ooh yeahh yeahh, oh yeah yeah

If I ruled the world... yeayeah yeayeah baby babyyyyyyy

If I ruled the world... if I ruled the world...

I'd love all the girls... yes you, you, you and you

Black diamons and pearls... where those diamonds, where those pearls?

If I ruled the world...

Huh-huh, huh-huh, a-heh-heh-huh-huh

If I ruled the world...

Heh-heh, heh-heh

I'd love all the girls... I'd love em love em baby...
