Slick Rick - The Ruler's Back Lyrics
Hauk, who goes yonder?
It is I, sire, Richard of Nottingham
Well, speak up man, what is it?
News from the east, sire, Rick the Ruler has returned!
And get on down to the old Slick rhythm
Now this one here is called the Ruler my dear
Its a mere party booster that will set things clear
Its a hundred percent proof from champions of truth
And if you feel you need spirit I'll bring back your youth
Relax your mind, and folks unwind
And be kind to a rhythm that you hardly find
And off we go, let the trumpets blow
Well hold on, because the driver of the mission is a pro
The Ruler's back
Now in these times, at least to me
There's a lot of people out here tryin' to sound like Ricky D
Not tryin' to cause trouble cause its really a small thing
But they're bitin what I'm writin
God it's great being the king
Some sound allright, but then they act illy
Try conquering my crown and that's really very silly
Now I'm not the type that gets upset
Try to disrespect folks just to earn respect
But learn this fact, whether white or black
I can't be conquered in my style of rap
For jealousy and envy are dumb ones tools
So Ricky says nothing, he keeps his cool
Revenge is not a mission that the Ruler's on
Just forgiveness required for the wrong that's done
So off we go, let the trumpets blow
And hold on, because the driver of the mission is a pro
The Ruler's back
Now one day when I was chillin' at this outside jam
I seen folks havin' a ball and plus clappin' their hands
To beats of records that conquer the streets
Like Pee Wee Herman and Clubhouse Treats
Girls was chillin', boys rule as usual
The slacks, the golds, the rings, I hope I'm not confusin y'all
But everyone in the house looks smashin'
Fresh clothes on their butts and nothing out of fashion
And just when you thought nothing couldn't get better
A news flash concealed in a bright yellow letter
A kid ran up to the mike and said "Alert, hear this,"
Cleared his (?) throat and then began to persist
He said "Hallelujah, kids hear this
the Ruler's back and he's here to assist"
So off we go, let the trumpets blow
And hold on because the driver of the mission is a pro
The Ruler's back

Slick Rick The Ruler's Back Comments
He is the king. No other rapper was like rick and still isn't. The poetic feel of his lyrics and his flow is increible. This man doesn't rap. He tells a story with rythmn. With his British accent and mastery of words it's true
*The rulers back*
The original version with the better snares is better
We were docked at Pattaya Beach in Thailand 1989. The DJ put on The Ruler's Back, the outdoor club went wild! Really very kool, U.S.S Enterprise CVN-65. US Navy

My Top 10 Hip-Hop Album of ALL TIME Slick Rick - The Great Adventures Of Slick Rick
"Revenge is not a mission that the ruler"s on just forgiveness required for the wrong that's done". Absolutely brilliant beautiful lyrics!
I’ve been trying to figure out what song this was for almost 20 years now....I finally found it!! I loved this song every since my brother played it in his first car. We were cruising the way and wound up at the mall! With these triumphant sounding horns and the super loud tweeters in his Buick Regal everyone heard and saw us. WITH ICONIC MUSIC LIKE THIS WHO CAN LISTEN TO THIS CRAP 💩 THEY MAKE NOWADAYS!!!

Slick is One of the top 5 heaviest influences in hip hop. Lotti is THE most sampled song in history. I wore out two cassettes of this gem.
How can you be so New York yet so London at the same time? Rick is the definition of flyness.

My shit
Stop lying!!!!
Hit it girl !
Can someone please explain to me how the trumpet horns sound good on this? I'm not hating, but I genuinely can't stand it. Would've killed the song for me if not for Rick's rapping. I'm seriously not hating or anything, and certainly no disrespect to Jay who made the beat, but I find the horns extremely repulsive to listen to.
I dont know what's up with your ears?
A timeless master piece of music.
This dude kills that dam horn,it's what makes this one of the greatest raps/songs I've ever heard
I was in Covenant House under the 1 and heartbroken when I seen that it was bulldozed in 8/19

One of the best rap songs ever made.
Real Hip Hop 👌
British folk get the tea and biscuits to this one
slick rick one of the best story tellers in hip hop (ask snoop dogg) - his half cockney half american accent was quite original - an excelent album that built on his work with doug e fresh
Must have been meant for Simeon Toko at the time.....
Is this song supposed to be a welcoming for the Messiah?
Hip Hop with a message is almost nonexistent. So very much treasured by me. Timeless classic, I would bump this in 2019 in my car.
WDYM? There are some many rap songs with a message put in it.
This takes me back to wishing I had could get my license.
Shoutout to parks for playing this sleeper 🔥🔥🔥
