"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.
The song's lyrics are political, inspiration and reminiscent of those on Nas' 1996 single "If I Ruled the World (Imagine That)."
"Got Ur Self A..." is mistakenly thought to be the first single on Stillmatic because "Rule" was not heavily promoted, did not receive music video treatment and was never released in compact disc format.
