"Rule" is the first single from American rapper Nas' 2001 album ''Stillmatic''. It features a chorus sung by Amerie and production provided by Poke and Tone of Trackmasters Entertainment. The song is known for both sampling and interpolating "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Tears for Fears. Overview The song's lyrics are political, inspiration and reminiscent of those on Nas' 1996 single " If I Ruled the World (Imagine That)."
