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'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 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  Now I be breakin' bread sippin Manichevitz 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 bend  Now I'm a get the mozzarella like a Rockerfeller  Still be in the church of Lalibela  Singing hymns a cappella  Whether posed in Maribella 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  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 could get the money  You could 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 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  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 palm  You could get the money  You could get the power  But keep your eyes on the final hour
