Talib Kweli, Papoose - The Beast lyrics

Dave, this a monster

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

Knowledge is the founder of
Everything in existence
If you not droppin' knowledge


Abolish because 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 niggas
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 with the flow
Rhymin' behind him is so senseless

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

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
Niggas 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
Niggas feel y'all, it's real, y'all

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

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 niggas 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 Assata - head to 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 try to box me in
But, I got knowledge of
Self and it's stronger
Than any cage you can lock me in

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 Beast come out

A lot of different Beasts or
Demons roamin' the planet
And they surface at any given time
You never know when they can surface and
Come right up out of you
No matter how righteous you think you are
Situation could go down when you forced
To let The Beast out
