Beast

Dave this a monster…

(Hook)- Talib Kweli

When the boys with the tech's throwin up they sets

And the spot so hot the ceiling starts to sweat

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…

And when you just a lil tipsy

And you lookin at them lips

And you likin them hips

Get ta drillin with them 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…

Papoose:

Knowledge is the founder of everything in existance

If you not droppin knowledge

Abolished because you ignorant

A top-notched scholar with honors, I'm so gifted

Live as the most vicious

Honest and prolific

I drop diabolical product with no gimick

Astonished the flo critics

Rhymed with the most lyrics

I paint picture jot it and dot it

But won't print it

My project 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 those old niggas

Tired of this dope,

How could you rhyme it but don't live it

Watch it and go spit it

Stop it I know physics

Breaking yo physical

Demolishing yo spirit

The struggle got me thinkin' demonic is so wicked

Man I'm so deep, I'm bottomless

Yo kill it

Wise with the flo, rhymin' behind 'em is so senseless..

And when you just a lil tipsy

And you lookin' at them lips

And you likin' them hips

Get ta drillin' with them tips and

That's when the…Yo!

Talib Kweli:

Live New York raps

Stay away from the pork wrap

Actin' like you all that

Get smacked if you talk back

Spiritual like Rakim, I'm nice like Kane with the females

Slick Rick, Biggie Smalls attention to detail

Political like P.E. and spittin' fire like Ice Cube

Kweli a nice dude till you start fucking wit my food

Rappers set the right mood

Front to blow like a light fuse

You might lose your chance to witness slimmer than a size 2

Plus this shit you kick so wack niggaz ready to fight you

Fuck rap, you better off with spoken word

Kick a haiku

My rhymes got teeth that'll bite you

I'll make it clear to them white foos

You ain't special

There's a million rappers like you

Far from clumsy, but I drop lines and spill bars

With more trees to be around then black chicks and Bill Maur

Peel a card off the deck

That's that real hard hittin' power shit niggas feel y'all

It's real y'all

When the boys with the tech's throwin up they sets

And the spot so hot the ceiling starts to sweat

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…

And when you just a lil tipsy

And you lookin' at them lips

And you likin' them hips

Get ta drillin' with them 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…

Talib Kweli:

The beast is out when the police is out

They be pullin out and really showin you what peace about

Upholdin the law that's designed to keep my people down

Boojee niggaz walking around

Like everything is equal now

I peep at how from the beat cop ta the interstate trooper ta da feds

Who put a price ta the side a head a cuba

Be protecting property value over the people life

Ta take action against the foul government is the people right

But not too many ready to fight

It's like they rather be at home watching a flick or a fight

Or maybe Nick at Night

It's sick how I'm addicted to mics

Become a flickering light after a spark I'm always ready to write

Where I'm from they be watching us but we be watching them

And bust shots til the coppers bring the choppers in

It's why I cross and try to box me in

But I got knowledge of self that's stronger than any cage you can lock me in

When the boys with the tech's throwin up they sets

And the spot so hot the ceiling starts to sweat

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…

And when you just a lil tipsy

And you lookin' at them lips

And you likin' them hips

Get ta drillin' with them 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…

Talib Kweli:

Lie to the beast, the demons roaming the planet and they surface at any given time. You never know when they can surface and come right up outta you. No matter how righteous you think you are, the situation can go down and force to let the beast out …
