[00:22.10]I treat this like my thesis
[00:23.53]Well written topic
[00:24.78]Broken down into pieces
[00:26.09]I introduce then produce
[00:27.41]Words so profuse
[00:28.40]Its abuse how I juice up this beat
[00:30.39]Like Im deuce
[00:31.27]Two people both equal
[00:32.46]Like Im gemini
[00:33.46]Rather simeon
[00:34.14]If I jimmy on this lock I could pop it
[00:36.45]You cant stop it
[00:37.45]Drop it
[00:38.45]Your whole crews microscopic
[00:40.01]Like particles while I make international articles
[00:42.77]And on the cover
[00:43.92]Dont discuss the baby mother business
[00:46.03]I been in this third lp you cant tell me, I witness
[00:49.71]First handed Im candid
[00:51.65]You cant stand it
[00:52.27]Respect demanded
[00:52.58]And get flown around the planet
[00:54.23]Rock hard like granite or steel
[00:56.30]People feel lauryn hill from new-ark to israel
[00:58.41]And this is real
[00:59.42]So I keep makin the streets ballads
[01:00.79]While you lookin for dressin to go with your tossed salad
[01:04.08]You could get the money
[01:05.34]You could get the power
[01:06.71]But keep your eyes on the final hour
[01:09.52]Now I be breakin bread sippin manichevitz wine
[01:11.75]Pay no mind party like its 1999
[01:14.31]But when it comes down to ground beef like palestine
[01:16.75]Say your rhymes, lets see if that get you out your bend
[01:19.57]Now Im a get the mozzarella like a rockerfeller
[01:21.83]Still be in the church of lalibela
[01:23.22]Singing hymns a cappella
[01:24.65]Whether posed in maribella in couture
[01:26.80]Or collectin residuals from off the score
[01:28.67]Im makin sure
[01:31.14]Im with the 144
[01:32.05]Ive been here before this aint a battle this is war
[01:36.40]Word to boonie
[01:37.09]I makes a lot like a sunni
[01:39.76]Get diplomatic immunity in every ghetto community
[01:42.63]Had opportunity went from
[01:43.78]Hoodshock to hood-chic
[01:44.70]But it aint what you cop
[01:46.22]Its about what you keep
[01:47.49]And even if there are leaks
[01:49.01]You cant capsize this ship
[01:50.58]Cause I baptize my lips every time I take a sip
[01:52.64]You could get the money
[01:53.46]You could get the power
[01:54.34]But keep your eyes on the final hour
[01:55.72]Im about to change the focus
[01:56.90]From the richest to the brokest
[01:58.59]I wrote this opus
[01:59.40]To reverse the hypnosis
[02:00.96]Whoevers closest
[02:01.39]To the lines gonna win it
[02:03.26]You gonna fall tryin to ball
[02:08.88]While my team win the pennant
[02:10.01]Im about to be in it
[02:11.25]For a minute
[02:11.77]Then run for senate
[02:12.64]Make a slum lord be the tenant
[02:13.86]Give his money to kids to spend it
[02:17.48]And then amend it
[02:18.38]Every law that ever prevented
[02:19.87]Our survival since our arrival
[02:22.43]Documented in the bible
[02:24.68]Like moses and aaron
[02:26.86]Things gon change, its apparent
[02:28.31]And all the transparent gonna
[02:29.80]Be seen through
[02:30.74]Let God redeem you
[02:31.93]Keep your deen true
[02:33.11]Watch out what you cling to
[02:34.61]You can get the green too
[02:36.00]Observe how a queen do
[02:37.31]And I remain calm readin the 73 psalm
[02:39.24]Cause wit all this on I got the world in palm
[02:41.43]You could get the money
[02:42.82]You could get the power
[02:44.13]But keep your eyes on the final hour

I treat this like my thesis
Well written topic
Broken down into pieces
I introduce then produce
Words so profuse
Its abuse how I juice up this beat
Like Im deuce
Two people both equal
Like Im gemini
Rather simeon
If I jimmy on this lock I could pop it
You cant stop it
Drop it
Your whole crews microscopic
Like particles while I make international articles
And on the cover
Dont discuss the baby mother business
I been in this third lp you cant tell me, I witness
First handed Im candid
You cant 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 streets 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
