Yes yes y'all<br /> The best y'all, yes yes y'all<br /> Huh, huh, huh, huh, yes y'allIf I ruled the world, was king on the throne<br /> I'd make peace in every culture, build the homeless a home<br /> I'm not runnin', for Congress or the President<br /> I'm just here, to tell the world, how my story went<br /> You see, first it was a dream, I was livin' in Rome<br /> And then I moved to London, bought a brand new home<br /> And everywhere I went, I drew lots of attention<br /> Like a stretch limousine, one of those new inventions<br /> It took a few years 'fore the day had come<br /> But I was ruler of the WORLD ranked number one<br /> So I headed towards Washington to claim the crown<br /> Let the whole world know that, the King was in town<br /> As I, arrived, the crowd started to cheer<br /> And then someone yelled out, "The King is here!"<br /> So I headed toward stage, to make a speech<br /> about the new style of living I was gonna teach, uh-huhIf I ruled the world<br /> Huh-huh, huh-huh uh-huh uh-huh<br /> I'd love all the girls, I love 'em love 'em baby!<br /> Black diamonds and pearls, ooh yeah yeah<br /> If I ruled the worldPeople started flowin' as they reached for my hand<br /> I said, "Thank you for bringin' me to the Promised Land<br /> But now I must go, say goodbye to everybody<br /> Tonight I'll see you all at my Super Dinner Party"<br /> And late that night, at my Super Dinner Party<br /> I was dancin' to the beat and entertainin' La-Di-Da-Di<br /> The music started endin', it was time for a speech<br /> The crowd started sittin' as I rose from my feet<br /> And this was once a dream, I explained to the crowd<br /> But now, I rule the world, and I feel, so very proud<br /> Excuse me please, for stoppin' this show<br /> I just had to thank you all, huh, and me so<br /> My first day in office, the King on the throne<br /> I spent my first three hours on the telephone<br /> You know with newsmen reporters, and votes too<br /> I had so many calls, I didn't know what to do<br /> You know out that office I continued to work<br /> I signed so many papers, my fingers started to hurt<br /> Then I shook off the pain, say this ain't no thing<br /> 'Cause there's nothin' in the world like bein' number one king!If I ruled the world<br /> Huh huh huh huh, huh-huh huh-huh<br /> I'd love all the girls, I love 'em love 'em baby!<br /> Black diamonds and pearls, ooh yeah yeah<br /> If I ruled the world, whoa yeah<br /> If I ruled the worldNow I rule the world and now, I'm on top<br /> And I'm rollin' with folks that could never be stopped<br /> And I'm here to let you know this is where I belong<br /> And to you sucker emcees that sing my song<br /> And it's a song that's strong about right and wrong<br /> And I'm rock it to you baby baby all night long<br /> And it's a song about love, and happiness<br /> In a world of peace, and you know that's fresh<br /> Now I'm the king, and I want you to know<br /> That I'm the Master Blaster Rapper who's runnin' the showAnd to all of you rappers in every country<br /> You better stop what you're doin', and listen to me<br /> 'Cause we gotta stop war, and use unity<br /> To fight crime and hunger and poverty<br /> 'Cause the African baby is dyin' overseas<br /> While you sucker mission politicians bustin' out Z's<br /> Huh, twenty million people all unemployed<br /> While the rich man try to play Pretty Boy Floyd<br /> While the working class just struggles hard<br /> Try to make ends meet against all odds<br /> While the poor man can't even deal with life<br /> You know he tried to escape, and smoked the coke on the pipeAnd it's time for a change, to a better way<br /> 'Cause the sun has gotta shine through the cloudy day<br /> So listen up world, while I teach this class<br /> And take heed to the message or we ain't gonna last<br /> 'Cause I know, the solution, is the contribution<br /> Of woman and man to just join the revolution<br /> That'll take your brain to a higher plane<br /> And help you deal in a world that's gone insane<br /> With the problems that I know we can stop<br /> From the ruler of the world and the man on top<br /> But the years went by, and time was up<br /> And the ruler of the world had ran out of luck<br /> And all the people at the time who said they were my friends<br /> Didn't know me when my job had come to an end<br /> They came up to my face, as happy as can be<br /> He was running his mouth like, Muhammad Ali<br /> So I shook his hand calmly as I headed to the door<br /> On my way to the ghetto to treat once moreIf I ruled the world<br /> I'd love all the girls, I love 'em love 'em baby!<br /> Black diamonds and pearls, ooh yeah yeah<br /> If I ruled the world, yeah<br /> If I ruled the world, if I ruled the world<br /> I'd love all the girls, I'd love 'em love 'em baby!<br /> Black diamonds and pearls, ooh yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah<br /> If I ruled the world, whoa yeah<br /> If I ruled the world, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah<br /> Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeahI'd love all the girls, you know I'd love 'em love 'em baby!<br /> Diamonds and pearls, ooh yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah<br /> If I ruled the world, yeah yeah yeah yeah baby baby<br /> If I ruled the world, if I ruled the world<br /> I'd love all the girls, yes you, you, you and you<br /> Black diamonds and pearls, where those diamonds, where those pearls?<br /> If I ruled the world<br /> If I ruled the world<br /> I'd love all the girls, I'd love 'em love 'em baby<br /> <br /> Songwriters<br /> WALKER, KURT /
