Final Hour

Uh
Uh

And, yo
(Like fungus among us) uh, uh
Yo, yo, uh

Yo, 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 (deuce), two people both equal
Like I'm Gemini, rather Simeon
If I Jimmy on this lock I could pop it (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 (nah)
I been in this third LP you can't tell me
I witness firsthanded, 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 can get the money (money)
You can get the power (power)
Keep your eyes on the Final Hour, Hour (keep your eyes, yo)
You can get the money (you can get the mon)
You can get the power (you can get the power)
Keep your eyes on (on) the Final Hour (hour)

I'm about to change the focus from the richest to the brokest
I wrote this opus to reverse the hypnosis ('nosis)
Whoever's closest to the line's gonna win it
You gon' fall trying to ball
While my team win the pennant
I'm about to begin it
For a minute then run for senate
Make a slumlord 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 gon' 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 reading the 73 Psalm
'Cause with all that's going on I got the world in my palm

Now you can get the money (you can get the)
You can get the power (you can get the)
Keep your eyes on the Final Hour, Hour
You can get the money (money)
You can get the power
But keep your eyes on the Final Hour

Now I be breaking bread, sipping Manischewitz wine (wine)
Pay no mind, party like it's 1999 (what)
But when it comes down to ground beef like Palestine
Say your rhymes, let's see if that get you out your bind (bind)
Now I'm a get the mozzarella like a Rockerfeller
Still be in the church of Lalibela, singing hymns acappella
Whether posed in Mairabella in Couture
Or collecting residuals from off The Score
I'm making sure I'm with the 144
I 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 (no, no)
'Cause I baptize my lips every time I take a sip

You can get the money (you can get the)
You can get the power (you can get the)
Keep your eyes on (on) the Final Hour (now)
You can get the money (you can get the money)
You can get the power (you can get the power)
But keep your eyes on the Final Hour (hour, hour)
You can get the money (get the)
You can get the power (you can get the money)
Keep your eyes on the Final Hour (get the, you can get the money)
You can get the money (get the)
You can get the power (get the, you can get the money)
Keep your eyes on the Final Hour, Hour (you can, you, you, you)

You can get the money, you can get the money (ooh, money)
You can get the money
Get the, get the money (you can get the power)
You can get the money, you can get the money
You can get the money
Final Hour
Well, keep your eyes
Keep your eyes, keep your eyes on the final hour
Now, you can get the money
And you can get the power
But just keep your eyes on the final hour

Final Hour
Final Hour
Final Hour
Final Hour
Final Hour
