Papoose   [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 and Ice do 'til you start fuckin' wit my fool   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 try to box me in   But I got knowledge of self and it's stronger than any cage you can lock me in      [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 Beast come out      [Outro-Talib Kweli]   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
