Alton Ellis - I'm The Ruler

Copied!

{Chorus}
I am the ruler (And that's gonna stand for dominate)
I am the ruler (And that's gonna stand for dominate)
But I was sent by my foreparents to rule over you
But I was sent by my foreparents to guide over you

{Verse 1}
There will be no mumbling and grumbling
'Cause I will take good care of you
'Cause it's been a long time I ain't appearing to you
Now the time has come that I'm right here with you

{Chorus}
I am the ruler (And that's gonna stand for dominate)
I am the ruler (And that's gonna stand for dominate)

{Verse 2}
There will be no mumbling and grumbling
'Cause I will take good care of you
'Causе it's been a long time I ain't appearing to you
Now the timе has come that I'm right here with you

{Outro}
I am the ruler (And that's gonna stand for dominate)
I am the ruler (And that's gonna stand for dominate)
I am the ruler (And that's gonna stand for dominate)
I am the ruler
