[Cee-Lo (Nas)] La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.. (Uh-oh, yeah) [Nas] Mr. International The man centerfold women loathe Voice bump out the Bose in a tinted Rolls Craftiness, take a stab at it Don't ask if Nasty's back at it I don't run out of magic Popular, box-cutter flow Time is money; the watch cost dough Shaking the dice, fragrances from some beautiful ladies The lights, the ambiance, yeah, this is the life The money, hotties on each arm--It's on I party like a rap star, baby the facts are The third time's a charm So meet me by the Eiffel Tour Bring a bottle of Dom [Cee-Lo] I am here (I am here) This is the place (This is the place) The atmosphere of espionage at expensive tape And each one that I see is an unfamiliar face So I guess I'll just cut straight through the chase And before I could say the name of whom I came to see Someone suspicion then came to me I'm so close and I've come so far A glass of red wine sits from the women at the end of the bar I love to talk to you - but I don't have the time She looks like the prettiest part of a perfect crime Oh if I could I could I'd put a picket fence around a wild flower But darling I have 'Less Than an Hour' (I... have 'Less Than an Hour') (I... have 'Less Than an Hour') Hmmmm... Ohhhh... Funny how time flies when you're having fun (Nas: Yeah, let' em know) But I got to do what must be done [Nas] You on a winning streak You survived the killer streets Now you at the crap table, where the real villains meet Number seven might get you to Heaven You break the bank, just might make you a legend It's after eleven, you playing against a poker face Genie eyes, light green, sipping on Bellini's You play your cards right, she'll let you touch She'll be a devil in disguise, lady incubus Better know who to trust She might roll with thugs who roll bodies up in Asian rugs I'ma rush up and move on 'em, put the uz' on 'em The crews do something new, inform me [Cee-Lo] (I... have 'Less Than an Hour') Oh... time will wait baby (I... have 'Less Than an Hour') Ew-oh... ew... hmm I'm in the pursuit of my own personal power And I only have an hour
