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 |
