Final Hour Lyrics - The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill - Lauryn Hill

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 can get the money! 

You can get the power! 

But keep your eyes on the Final Hour! 

You can get the money! 

You can 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 trying to ball 

While my team win the pennant 

I'm about to begin 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 

You can get the green too 

Watch out what you cling to 

Observe how a queen do 

And I remain calm reading the 73 Psalm 

'Cause with all this going on I got the world in my palm 

You can get the money! 

You can get the power! 

But keep your eyes on the Final Hour 

You can get the money! 

You can get the power! 

But keep your eyes on the Final Hour 

Now I be breaking bread sipping 

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 bind 

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 collecting residuals from off The Score 

I'm making 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 

(Every time i take sips!) 

You can get the money! 

You can get the power! 

But keep your eyes on the Final Hour 

You can get the money! 

You can get the power! 

But keep your eyes on the Final Hour 

You can get the money! 

You can get the power! 

But keep your eyes on the Final Hour 

You can get the money! 

You can get the power! 

But keep your eyes on the Final Hour 

You can get the money!, the Final Hour 

You can get the money! 

You can get the power! 

But keep your eyes on the Final Hour 

Final Hour 

Final Hour 

Final Hour
