When you understand why that amendment's foul then follow me.

lyrics

If I ruled the World,
I'd free all my Sons,
I love em love em Baby,
Black Diamonds and Pearls,
If I ruled the World

Hi my name is _______,
English is my native tongue,
I use words and verbiage,
Just to make new creations,
Sometimes I like to use my tongue like a brand drum,
Talking about walking tapping what ever I want,
Equal parts Forest Gump, Tony Stark and Spock,
Hulk and Mr Belvedere if they were Autobots,
Slightly prefer positive my optimal is prime,
And I started making music so that I could play with time.

If I ruled the World,
I'd free all my Sons,
I love em love em Baby,
Black Diamonds and Pearls,
If I ruled the World

They say that I’m the tastiest of all the biscuits,
From the best batch,
I’m sweeter then the darkest berry,
From the Largest Patch,
Adams said exactly what I thought a man should be,
So God Bless America Let Freedom,
You could lead a Horse to the water,
But you can not make it drink,
Give a brain to a robot,
But you can not make it dream,
Put your army in my country,
Still get no democracy,
You got to fight for your right to Party.

If I ruled the World,
I'd free all my Sons,
I love em love em Baby,
Black Diamonds and Pearls,
If I ruled the World

Now they say I need a label
Just so I can hit record,
I’ve seen what labels do
And I’m like what I need that for?
I’d rather give it straight to you,
So you can just ignore,
If you ever hear something,
You don’t want to hear no more,
Like when you pop off constitution talk,
All on your online feed,
Whining bout your bill of rights,
Forgetting about 13
When you understand why that amendments foul,
Then you can follow me,
Cause aint nobody ever gonna make my son go work for free.

If I ruled the World,
I'd free all my Sons,
I love em love em Baby,
Black Diamonds and Pearls,
If I ruled the World
If I ruled the World,
I'd free all my Sons,
I love em love em Baby,
Black Diamonds and Pearls,
If I ruled the World

And we could walk right up to the Sun,
Hand in hand,
We could walk right up to the Sun,
We won’t land,
We could walk right up to the Sun,
Hand in Hand,
We could walk right up to the Sun,
We won’t land
