Spiritual like Rakim on ice, like Kane with the females
But not too many ready to fight
When you just a little tipsy, you lookin' at them lips
When them boys wit the Tec's throwin' up they set
No matter how righteous you think you are
And they surface at any given time
That's when the beast come out, that's when the
Political like PE, I'm spittin' fire like Ice Cube
That's when the beast come out, that's when the beast
Kweli and Ice do 'til you start fuckin' wit my fool
And you lockin' up them hips, get the drillin' wit the tips and
Man, I'm so deep I'm bottomless, yo, kill it
Yeah, that's when the beast come out
That's when the beast come out
Yeah, that's when the beast come out
Smoke more trees and be around more black chicks than Bill Maher
I paint pictures, jot it and dot it but won't print it
And you lockin' up them hips, get the drillin' wit the tips and
Breakin' yo physical, demolishin' yo spirit
That's when the beast come out, that's when the
That's when the beast come out
It's sick how I'm addicted to mics, become a flickerin' light
Actin' like you all that, get smacked if you talk back
Where I'm from? They be watchin' us but we be watchin' them
That's when the beast come out
You ain't special, there's a million rappers like you
Man, I got a brain the size of the most biggest
Wise wit the flow, rhymin behind 'em it's so senseless
Be protectin' the property value over the people life
It's like you'd rather be at home watchin' a flick or a fight
When you just a little tipsy, you lookin' at them lips
Knowledge is the founder of everything in existence
That's when the beast come out, that's when the beast
Life is the most vicious, honest and prolific
I drop diabolical brollic wit no gimmick
That's when the beast come out, that's when the
Far from clumsy but I drop lines and spill bars
Bourgeois niggaz walkin' around like everything is equal now
When them boys wit the Tec's throwin' up they set
Fuck rap, you better off wit spoken word kickin' Haiku
Yeah, live New York rap, stay away from the pork crap
And the spot so hot the ceilin' start to sweat
And the spot so hot the ceilin' start to sweat
Slick Rick and Biggie Smalls attention to detail
And the spot so hot the ceilin' start to sweat
Peel a card off the deck, this that real hard hip-hop shit
If you not droppin' knowledge about us, it's 'cause you ig'nant
I'm peepin' how from the beat cop to the interstate trooper
Upholdin' the law that's designed to keep my people down
Wide as them cold rivers, wise as them old niggaz
And bust shots 'til the coppers bring the choppers in
Plus, the shit you kick so wack, niggaz ready to fight you
That's when the beast come out
When them boys wit the Tec's throwin' up they set
To the Feds who put a price on the side of head of Cuba
Lot of different beasts or demons roamin' the planet
Niggaz, feel y'all, it's real, y'all
That's when the beast come out, that's when the beast
That's when the beast come out
That's when the beast come out
And you lockin' up them hips, get the drillin' wit the tips and
That's when the beast come out
Or rhymes got teeth that'll bite you, make it clearer than white booze
Yeah, that's when the beast come out
That's when the beast come out
That's when the beast come out
The struggle got me thinkin' demonic and so wicked
Astonish the flow critics, rhyme wit the most lyrics
The beast is out when the police is out
That's when the beast come out, that's when the
And the spot so hot the ceilin' start to sweat
Or maybe 'Nick At Nite'
That's when the beast come out, that's when the
When them boys wit the Tec's throwin' up they set
My project is photogenic, I am the most vivid
To take action against a foul government is the people right
The squad cars try to box me in
And you lockin' up them hips, get the drillin' wit the tips and
When you just a little tipsy, you lookin' at them lips
That's when the beast come out
You never know when they can surface and come right up out at you
Rap 'll set the right mood, fin' to blow like a light fuse
They be pullin' out and really showin' you what peace about
After I spark I'm always ready to write
That's when the beast come out
When you just a little tipsy, you lookin' at them lips
Than any cage you can lock me in
But I got knowledge of self and it's stronger
Tired of this, though, half of you rhyme it but don't live it
That's when the beast come out
Yeah, that's when the beast come out
Watch it and go spit it, stop it, I know physics
A top-notch scholar wit honors, I'm so gifted
You might lose, ya chance of winnin' slimmer than a size two
