[Intro-Talib Kweli]
|
Dave, this a monster
|
|
[Chorus-Talib Kweli]
|
When them boys wit the Tec's throwin' up they set
|
And the spot so hot the ceilin' start to sweat
|
Yeah, that's when The Beast come out
|
That's when The Beast come out
|
That's when The Beast come out
|
That's when The...
|
When you just a little tipsy, you lookin' at them lips
|
And you lockin' up them hips, get the drillin' wit the tips, and
|
That's when The Beast come out
|
That's when The Beast come out
|
That's when The Beast come out
|
That's when The...

[Verse 1-Papoose]
|
Knowledge is the founder of everything in existence
|
If you not droppin' knowledge about us it's 'cause you ig'nant
|
A top-notch scholar wit honors, I'm so gifted
|
Live is the most vicious, honest and prolific
|
I drop diabolical brollic wit no gimmick
|
Astonish the flow critics, rhyme wit the most lyrics
|
I paint pictures, jot it and dot it but won't print it
|
My ? is photogenic, I am the most vivid
|
Man, I got a brain the size of the most biggest
|
Wide as them cold rivers, wise as them old niggaz
|
Tired of this, though, half of you rhyme it but don't live it
|
Watch it and go spit it, stop it, I know Physics
|
Breakin' yo physical, demolishin' yo spirit
|
The struggle got me thinkin' demonic and so wicked
|
Man, I'm so deep I'm bottomless, yo, kill it
|
Wise wit the flow, rhyme about Hymen, it's so senseless
|
|
[Chorus-Talib Kweli]
|
When them boys wit the Tec's throwin' up they set
|
And the spot so hot the ceilin' start to sweat
|
Yeah, that's when The Beast come out
|
That's when The Beast come out
|
That's when The Beast come out
|
That's when The...
|
When you just a little tipsy, you lookin' at them lips
|
And you lockin' up them hips, get the drillin' wit the tips, and
|
That's when The Beast come out
|
That's when The Beast come out
|
That's when The Beast come out
|
That's when The...

[Verse 2-Talib Kweli]
|
Live New York rap, stay away from the pork crap
|
Actin' like you all that, get smacked if you talk back
|
Spiritual like Rakim on ice, like Kane with the females
|
Slick Rick and Biggie Smalls attention to detail
|
Political like PE, I'm spittin' fire like Ice Cube
|
Kweli a nice dude 'til you start fuckin' with my food
|
Rap 'll set the right mood, fin' to blow like a light fuse
|
You might lose, ya chance of winnin' slimmer than a size two
|
Plus, the shit you kick so wack niggaz ready to fight you
|
Fuck rap, you better off wit spoken word kickin' Haiku
|
Or rhymes got teeth that'll bite you, make it clearer than white booze
|
You ain't special, there's a million rappers like you
|
Far from clumsy, but I drop lines and spill bars
|
Smoke more trees and be around more Black chicks than Bill Maher
|
Peel a card off the deck, this that real hard Hip-Hop shit
|
Niggaz feel y'all, it's real, y'all
|
|
[Chorus-Talib Kweli]
|
When them boys wit the Tec's throwin' up they set
|
And the spot so hot the ceilin' start to sweat
|
Yeah, that's when The Beast come out
|
That's when The Beast come out
|
That's when The Beast come out
|
That's when The...
|
When you just a little tipsy, you lookin' at them lips
|
And you lockin' up them hips, get the drillin' wit the tips, and
|
That's when The Beast come out
|
That's when The Beast come out
|
That's when The Beast come out
|
That's when The...
|
|
[Verse 3-Talib Kweli]
|
The Beast is out when the police is out
|
They be pullin' out and really showin' you what peace/piece about
|
Upholdin' the law that's designed to keep my people down
|
Bourgeois niggaz walkin' around like everything is equal now
|
I'm peepin' how from the beat cop to the Interstate trooper
|
To the Feds who put a price on the side of head of Cuba, B
|
Protectin' the property value over the people life
|
To take action against a foul government is the people right
|
But not too many ready to fight
|
It's like you'd rather be at home watchin' a flick or a fight
|
Or maybe Nick-At-Nite
|
It's sick how I'm addicted to mics, become a flickerin' light
|
After I spark I'm always ready to write
|
Where I'm from, they be watchin' us, but we be watchin' them
|
And bust shots 'til the coppers bring the choppers in
|
The squad cars tr |
