Kurtis Blow - If I Ruled The World Lyrics

Send "If I Ruled The World" ringtone to your cell

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 livin' i was gonna teach

If i ruled the world

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

Black diamonds and pearls

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

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 reporter and voter too

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

You know out of 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

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

Black diamonds and pearls

If i ruled the world

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 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

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 coke on the pipe

Well 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 ain't gonna last

'cause i know the solution is the contribution

Of woman and man to join the revolution

That'll take your brain to a higher plane

An' help you deal in a world 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 thn ruler of the world had ran out of luck

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

They didn't know when my job 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

You rule the world

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

Black diamonds and pearls

If i ruled the world

I ruled the world if i ruled the world

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

Black diamonds and pearls

If i ruled the world

I ruled the world

I'd love all the girls you know i love 'em love 'em baby

Black diamonds and pearls

If i ruled the world baby

I ruled the world

I'd love all the girls yes you you you

Black diamonds and pearls black diamonds black diamonds

If i ruled the world

If i ruled the world

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

Black diamonds and pearls
