"The Beast"
 [bad word] ]
Warn the town the beast is loose, 
Word 'em up y'all 
C'mon 

[LAURYN:]
Conflicts with night sticks 
Illegal sales districts, 
Hand-picked lunatics, keep poli-TRICK-cians rich 
Heretics push narcotics amidst its risks and frisks, 
Cool cliques throw bricks but seldom hit targets 
Private-DIC sell hits, like porno-flicks do chicks. 
The 666 cut W.I.C. like Newt Gingrich SUCKS D*** 

[CLEF:]
Meanwhile the government brings Star Wars from glocks to glockers 
C.O.P. has an APB out on Chewbacca 
Mista Mayor, can I say something in yo honor 
Yesterday in Central Park they got the Jogger 
Okay, okay. 
Let's get the confusion straight in ghetto Gotham 
The man behind the mask you thought was Batman is Bill Clinton. 
Who soon retire, the roof is on fire 
Connie Chung [bad word] the bomb as [bad word] from Oklahoma 
Things are getting serious, Kuumbaya, 
On a mountain satan offered me, Manhattan help me Jah Jah 

[CLEF:]
You can't search me without probable cause 
Or that proper ammunition they call reasonable suspicion 
Listen I bring friction to your whole jurisdiction 
You planted seeds in my seat when I wasn't lookin. 
Now you ask me for my license/registration 
"WHAT THE F**K" is my name 
"WHAT THE F**K" is my occupation 
Well I'm an MC, I'm down with the Fugees 
Mother Mary caught a flashback like Rodney now the cops got Lolly. 

[LAURYN:]
The subconscious psychology that you use against me, 
If I lose control will send me to the penetentiary 
Such as Alcatraz, or shot up like al Hajj Malik Shabazz 
High class get bypassed while my [bad word] gets harrassed. 
And the fuzz treat [bad word] s like they manhood never was, 
And if you too powerful, you get bugged like Peter Tosh and Marley was. 
And my word does nothing against the feds, 
So my eyes stay red as I chase crazy bald heads, WORD UP. 
 [bad word] ]
Warn the town the beast is loose, Ah - ah, Ah - ah 
Word 'em up y'all 

[CLEF:]
The chase is on I feel like the bad guy 
Fifth gear 125 like New Jersey drive 
Looked in my rear view mirror 
Police was getting closer 
Heard a roar in the sky, 
Looked up and saw the Blue Thunder. 
My inner conscious says throw your handkerchief and surrender, 
BUT TO WHO??? 
The star spangled banner ooh. 
Say can't you see cops more crooked than we 
By the dawn's early night robbin' niggas for kis. 
Easy low key crooked military 
Pay taxes out my [bad word] but they still harrass me. 

[PRAZ:]
The streets of [bad word] got me bustin and cussin' in the concrete jungle 
Thoughts being dribbled like that tall kid Mutumbo 
Handled by Hannibal 
Soon I'm gonna be a fugitive like Dr. Kimble. 

[CLEF:] Hey yo should I slow down? 

[PRAZ:]
Nah kid go faster, 
Just cause they got a badge, they could still be impostors. 
Probable cause, got flaws like dirty draws 
Meet me at the corner store so we can start the street wars.
