[Intro-Talib Kweli]
3
Dave, this a monster
4
[Chorus-Talib Kweli]
5
When them boys wit the Tec's throwin' up they set
6
And the spot so hot the ceilin' start to sweat
7
Yeah, that's when The Beast come out
8
That's when The Beast come out
9
That's when The Beast come out
10
That's when The...
11
When you just a little tipsy, you lookin' at them lips
12
And you lockin' up them hips, get the drillin' wit the tips, and
13
That's when The Beast come out
14
That's when The Beast come out
15
That's when The Beast come out

[Verse 1-Papoose]
18
Knowledge is the founder of everything in existence
19
If you not droppin' knowledge about us it's 'cause you ig'nant
20
A top-notch scholar wit honors, I'm so gifted
21
Live is the most vicious, honest and prolific
22
I drop diabolical brollic wit no gimmick
23
Astonish the flow critics, rhyme wit the most lyrics
24
I paint pictures, jot it and dot it but won't print it
25
My ? is photogenic, I am the most vivid
26
Man, I got a brain the size of the most biggest
27
Wide as them cold rivers, wise as them old niggaz
28
Tired of this, though, half of you rhyme it but don't live it
29
Watch it and go spit it, stop it, I know Physics
30
Breakin' yo physical, demolishin' yo spirit
31
The struggle got me thinkin' demonic and so wicked
32
Man, I'm so deep I'm bottomless, yo, kill it
33
Wise wit the flow, rhyme about Hymen, it's so senseless
34
[Chorus-Talib Kweli]
35
When them boys wit the Tec's throwin' up they set
36
And the spot so hot the ceilin' start to sweat
37
Yeah, that's when The Beast come out

When you just a little tipsy, you lookin' at them lips
42
And you lockin' up them hips, get the drillin' wit the tips, and
43
That's when The Beast come out

[Verse 2-Talib Kweli]
48
Live New York rap, stay away from the pork crap
49
Actin' like you all that, get smacked if you talk back
50
Spiritual like Rakim on ice, like Kane with the females
51
Slick Rick and Biggie Smalls attention to detail
52
Political like PE, I'm spittin' fire like Ice Cube
53
Kweli and Ice do 'til you start fuckin' wit my fool
54
Rap 'll set the right mood, fin' to blow like a light fuse
55
You might lose, ya chance of winnin' slimmer than a size two
56
Plus, the shit you kick so wack niggaz ready to fight you
57
Fuck rap, you better off wit spoken word kickin' Haiku
58
Or rhymes got teeth that'll bite you, make it clearer than white booze
59
You ain't special, there's a million rappers like you
60
Far from clumsy, but I drop lines and spill bars
61
Smoke more trees and be around more Black chicks than Bill Maher
62
Peel a card off the deck, this that real hard Hip-Hop shit
63
Niggaz feel y'all, it's real, y'all
64
[Chorus-Talib Kweli]
65
When them boys wit the Tec's throwin' up they set
66
And the spot so hot the ceilin' start to sweat
67
Yeah, that's when The Beast come out

That's when The Beast come out

That's when The Beast come out
70
That's when The...
71
When you just a little tipsy, you lookin' at them lips
72
And you lockin' up them hips, get the drillin' wit the tips, and
73
That's when The Beast come out
74
That's when The Beast come out
75
That's when The Beast come out

77
[Verse 3-Talib Kweli]
78
The Beast is out when the police is out
79
They be pullin' out and really showin' you what peace/piece about
80
Upholdin' the law that's designed to keep my people down
81
Bourgeois niggaz walkin' around like everything is equal now
82
I'm peepin' how from the beat cop to the Interstate trooper
83
To the Feds who put a price on the side of head of Cuba, B
84
Protectin' the property value over the people life
85
To take action against a foul government is the people right
86
But not too many ready to fight
87
It's like you'd rather be at home watchin' a flick or a fight
88
Or maybe Nick-At-Nite
89
It's sick how I'm addicted to mics, become a flickerin' light
90
After I spark I'm always ready to write
91
Where I'm from, they be watchin' us, but we be watchin' them
92
And bust shots 'til the coppers bring the choppers in
93
The squad cars try to box me in
94
But I got knowledge of self and it's stronger than any cage you can lock me in
95
[Chorus-Talib Kweli]
96
When them boys wit the Tec's throwin' up they set
97
And the spot so hot the ceilin' start to sweat
98
Yeah, that's when The Beast come out
99
That's when The Beast come out
100
That's when The Beast come out
101
That's when The...
102
When you just a little tipsy, you lookin' at them lips
103
And you lockin' up them hips, get the drillin' wit the tips, and
104
That's when The Beast come out
105
That's when The Beast come out
106
That's when The Beast come out
107
That's when The Beast come out
108
[Outro-Talib Kweli]
109
A lot of different Beasts or demons roamin' the planet
110
And they surface at any given time
111
You never know when they can surface and come right up out of you
112
No matter how righteous you think you are
113
Situation could go down when you forced
114
To let The Beast out
