Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah, man, I've got a right
To talk about what I see
Way too much is going wrong
It's right in front of me
[Chorus]
You can't rule me
You can't rule me
You can't take my money and try to rule me too
[Verse 2]
Yeah, you might expect me to follow
But I ain't gonna fall in line
I tell you what, this much I know
The dotted line ain't been signed
[Chorus]
You can't rule me
You can't rule me
You can't take my soul and try to rule me too
[Verse 3]
You might beat me, you might cheat me
And try to make me change my mind
You might stick me, you might trick me
I'm gon' tell you one last time
[Chorus]
You can't rule me
You can't rule me
You can't take my money and try to rule me too
[Verse 4]
You wanna go and tell me what's good for me
You wanna tell me what I'm paying for
Well, the game is fixed, it's plain to see
I ain't playing no more
[Chorus]
You can't rule me
You can't rule me
You can't take my money and try to rule me too
[Verse 5]
You can't rule me
You can't rule me
You can't take my soul and try to rule me too
Yeah
