The Ruler Said
Just stepped back off another flight
Another day gone and another night
Spent the last 3 days with a name I can’t say because I don’t speak about there on the other side
What happens over there over there it stays over there it remains
Can’t even say where I was cus if I did I’m in for a very long day
And I don’t have time to fight battles
Cus the ruler said fights don’t matter
Chop down a snake before it rattles
See the game when I’m climbing up the ladder
Grandad taught me how to play chess and to play draughts so I’m good on both sides
Then he said you gotta go and make it happen cus one thing you don’t get is more time
And he never lied
So I gotta try
And he never lied
New country same passport
Foreign girl tryna get more then she asked for
Whilst I’m here all I want is some peace
But she’s boom banging my phone cus she just wants a piece
Haven’t slept before 2am in the last 3 weeks oh jeez oh damn
I’m the man what’s the plan
Way to ill but I don’t flu ____
Told her the ruler said yo baby stop playing with that man
Speedrunning Europe yeah I’m a tourist
Come back home tell Trix throw the beat on the DAW and record it
Pick a country on the map I’ve explored it
Full max on the plane push the pedal to the floor and floor it
CTM and all I gotta do is transport it
Stepped in the building then I said Zappa
So everybody knows to stop the chatter
Already cut down 2 adder
Came late but get the last laugher
No surfing allowed to many come try lay claim take the swagger
Told them the ruler said yo quit rapping you ain’t a rapper
If you ain’t on job properly
Please don’t bother me
I’m self made pottery
You’ll get broke crockery
Don’t take time for mockery
Not in this economy
Get beat up for robbery
You’re stupid you gotta be
And I don’t have time to fight battles
Cus the ruler said fights don’t matter
Chop down a snake before it rattles
See the game when I’m climbing up the ladder
Grandad taught me how to play chess and to play draughts so I’m good on both sides
Then he said you gotta go and make it happen cus one thing you don’t get is more time
And he never lied
So I gotta try
And he never lied
