Final Hour - Lauryn Hill

[00:02.573]Uhh, uhh
[00:13.388]And yo, uhh, uhh, yo, yo
[00:20.702]Yo, I treat this like my thesis
[00:22.896]Well-written topic, broken down into pieces
[00:25.482]I introduce then produce, words so profuse
[00:27.938]It's abuse how I juice up this beat, like I'm deuce
[00:30.655]Two people both equal like I'm Gemini, rather Simeon
[00:33.920]If I Jimmy on this lock I could pop it, you can't stop it
[00:37.028]Drop it, your whole crew's microscopic
[00:39.641]Like particles while I make international articles, and on the cover
[00:43.246]Don't discuss the baby mother
[00:44.787]Business, I been in this third LP you can't tell me, I witness
[00:47.686]First handed I'm candid
[00:49.045]You can't stand it, respect demanded
[00:50.978]And get flown around the planet
[00:52.519]Rock Hard like granite or steel
[00:54.426]People feel Lauryn Hill from New-Ark to Israel
[00:57.900]And this is real, so I keep makin' the street's ballads
[01:00.617]While you lookin' for dressin' to go with your tossed salad
[01:03.464]You can get the money
[01:04.640]You can get the power
[01:05.685]But keep your eyes on the Final Hour
[01:08.506]You can get the money
[01:09.838]You can get the power
[01:10.988]But keep your eyes on the Final Hour
[01:13.574]I'm about to change the focus from the richest to the brokest
[01:16.160]I wrote this opus, to reverse the hypnosis
[01:18.720]Whoever's closest to the line's gonna win it
[01:21.306]You gonna fall tryna ball while my team win the pennant
[01:23.840]I'm about to begin it, for a minute, then run for senate
[01:26.478]Make a slum lord be the tenant give his money to kids to spend it
[01:29.247]And then amend it, every law that ever prevented
[01:31.624]Our survival since our arrival documented in The Bible
[01:34.341]Like Moses and Aaron
[01:35.282]Things gon' change, it's apparent
[01:36.927]And all the transparent gonna be seen through
[01:39.095]Let God redeem you, keep your deen true
[01:41.525]You can get the green too
[01:42.465]Watch out what you cling to, observe how a queen do
[01:44.895]And I remain calm reading the 73rd Psalm
[01:47.428]Cause with all that's going on I got the world in my palm
[01:50.224]You can get the money
[01:51.347]You can get the power
[01:52.705]But keep your eyes on the Final Hour
[01:55.108]You can get the money
[01:56.754]You can get the power
[01:57.773]But keep your eyes on the Final Hour
[02:00.307]Now I be breaking bread sipping Manischewitz wine
[02:03.154]Pay no mind party like it's 1999
[02:05.531]But when it comes down to ground beef like Palestine
[02:08.300]Say your rhymes, let's see if that get you out your bind
[02:10.782]Now I'm a get the mozzarella like a Rockafeller
[02:13.264]Still be in the church of Lalibela, singing hymns a cappella
[02:16.242]Whether posed in Mirabella in Couture
[02:18.384]Or collecting residuals from off The Score
[02:21.205]I'm making sure I'm with the 144
[02:23.843]I've been here before this ain't a battle, this is war
[02:26.377]Word to Boonie, I make salat like a Sunni
[02:29.042]Get diplomatic immunity in every ghetto community
[02:31.784]Had opportunity went from Hoodshock to Hood-chic
[02:34.475]But it ain't what you cop, it's about what you keep
[02:36.904]And even if there are leaks, you can't capsize this ship
[02:39.334]Cause I baptize my lips every time I take a sip
[02:42.442]You can get the money
[02:43.513]You can get the power
[02:44.689]But keep your eyes on the Final Hour
[02:47.223]You can get the money
[02:48.686]You can get the power
[02:49.861]But keep your eyes on the Final Hour
[02:52.682]You can get the money
[02:53.936]You can get the power
[02:55.190]But keep your eyes on the Final Hour
[02:57.828]You can get the money
[02:59.135]You can get the power
[03:00.362]But keep your eyes on the Final Hour
[03:03.157]
