I treat this like my thesis
Well written topic
Broken down into pieces
I introduce then produce
Words so profuse
Itīs abuse how I juice up this beat
Like Iīm deuce
Two people both equal
Like Iīm Gemini
Rather simeon
If I Jimmy on this lock I could pop it
You canīt stop it
Drop it
Your whole crewīs microscopic
Like particles while I make international articles
And on the cover
Donīt discuss the baby mother business
I been in this third LP you canīt tell me, I witness
First handed Iīm candid
You canīt 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 makinī the streetīs ballads
While you lookinī for dressinī 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 breakinī bread sippin Manichevitz wine
Pay no mind party like itīs 1999
But when it comes down to ground beef like Palestine
Say your rhymes, letīs see if that get you out your bend
Now Iīm 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 collectinī residuals from off the Score
Iīm makinī sure
Iīm with the 144
Iīve been here before this ainīt 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 ainīt what you cop
Itīs about what you keep
And even if there are leaks
you canīt 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
Iīm about to change the focus
From the richest to the brokest
I wrote this opus
To reverse the hypnosis
Whoeverīs closest
To the lineīs gonna win it
You gonna fall tryin to ball
While my team win the pennant
Iīm 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, itīs 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 readinī 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
