lauryn hill - final hour

I treat this like my thesis
Well, written topic broken down into pieces
I introduce them produce, words so profuse
It's abuse how I juice up this beat

Like I'm deuce, two people both equal like I'm Gemini
Rather Simeon, if I Jimmy on this lock I could pop it
You can't stop it, drop it
Your whole crew's microscopic

Like particles while I make international articles
And on the cover don't discuss the baby mother business
I been in this third LP you can't tell me, I witness
First handed I'm candid, you can't stand it

Respect demanded and get flown around the planet
Rock Hard like granite or steel, people feel
Lauryn Hill from Newark to Israel and this is real
So I keep makin' the street's ballads
While you lookin' for dressin' to go with your tossed salad

You can get the money, you can get the power
But keep your eyes on the final hour
You can get the money, you can get the power
But keep your eyes on the final hour

I'm about to change the focus from the richest to the brokest
I wrote this opus to reserve the hypnosis
Whoever's closest to the line's gonna win it
You gonna fall tryin' to ball while my team win the pennant

I'm about to be in it for a minute
Then run for senate
Make a slum lord to be the tenant
Give his money to kids to spend it

And then amend it, every law that ever prevented
Our survival since our arrival documented in The Bible
Like Moses and Aaron, things gon' change, it's apparent
And all the transparent gonna be seen through

Let God redeem you, keep your dream true
Watch out what you cling to, you can get the green too
Observe how a queen do and I remain calm readin' the 73 Psalm
'Cause wit all this on I got the world in my palm

You can get the money, you can get the power
But keep your eyes on the final hour
You can get the money, you can get the power
But keep your eyes on the final hour

Now I be breakin' bread sippin', Manichevitz wine
Pay no mint party like it's 1999
But when it comes down to ground beef like Palestine
Say your rhymes, let's see if that get you out your bend

Now I'm a get the mozzarella like a Rockefeller
Still be int he church of Lalibela
Whether posed in Maribelle in Couture
Or collectin' residuals from off 'The Score'

I'm makin' sure, I'm with the 144
I've been here before this ain't a battle this is war
Word to Boonie, I makes a lot like a Sunni
Get diplomatic immunity in every ghetto community

Had opportunity went from Hood shock to Hood-chic
But it ain't what you cop it's about what you keep
And even if there are leaks, you can't capsize this ship
'Cause I baptize my lips every time I take a sip

You can get the money, you can get the power
But keep your eyes on the final hour
You can get the money, you can get the power
But keep your eyes on the final hour

You can get the money, you can get the power
But keep your eyes on the final hour
You can get the money, you can get the power
But keep your eyes on the final hour

You can get the money, you can get the power
Get the money, get the, get the money
You can get the money, get the money
Get the money in the final hour

Keep your eyes keep your eyes, keep your eyes on the final hour
Now you can get the money, hey, you can get the power
But just keep your eyes on the final hour, on the final hour
Final hour, final hour, final hour
