Final Hour

Lyrics

Uh-uh
 ♪
 Uh
 And yo
 Uhh, uhh (Like fungus among us)
 Yo, yo (Haha), uh
 I treat this like my thesis
 Well written topic, broken down into pieces
 I introduce then 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 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 New-Ark 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 could get the money, you could get the power
 But keep your eyes on the final hour
 You could get the money, you could get the power
 But keep your eyes on the final hour
 I'm 'bout to change the focus from the richest to the brokest
 I wrote this opus, to reverse 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 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 deen true
 You can get the green too
 Watch out who you cling to
 Observe how a queen do
 And I remain calm readin' the 73rd Psalm
 'Cause wit' all this goin' on I got the world in my palm
 You could get the money, you could 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 breaking bread sipping Manischewitz wine
 Pay no mind 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 bind
 Now I'ma get the mozzarella like a Rockafeller
 Still be in the church of Lalibela, singing hymns a cappella
 Whether posed in Mirabella in Couture
 Or collecting residuals from off The Score
 I'm making sure I'm with the 144
 I've been here before this ain't a battle, this is war
 Word to Boonie, I make salat like a Sunni
 Get diplomatic immunity in every ghetto community
 Had opportunity went from Hoodshock 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
