The Daily Beast is an American news reporting and opinion website founded and published by Tina Brown, former editor of Vanity Fair and The New Yorker as well as the short-lived Talk Magazine. The Daily Beast was launched on October 6, 2008, and is owned by IAC. Edward Felsenthal, a former Wall Street Journal editor, is the site's executive editor, and Stephen Colvin is its president.
The name of the site is derived from that of the fictional newspaper in Evelyn Waugh's novel Scoop.
On November 12, 2010, The Daily Beast and Newsweek announced a merger deal, creating a combined company, The Newsweek Daily Beast Company.
One of the features of The Daily Beast is the "Cheat Sheet", billed as "must reads from all over". Published daily, the "Cheat Sheet" offers a selection of articles from online news outlets on popular stories. The "Cheat Sheet" includes brief summaries of the article, and a link to read the full text of the article on the website of its provider.
Since launch, the site has introduced additional sections, including a video "Cheat Sheet", "Book Beast", "Hungry Beast", and "Sexy Beast", a Fashion and Entertainment section. The site frequently creates encyclopedic landing pages on topical subjects such as President Obama's inauguration, the Bernard Madoff Ponzi scheme, Michael Jackson, the Iran uprising, and the US Open.
Dean Obeidallah (Arabic: دين عبيدالله) is a Palestinian-American/Italian-American comedian. He was born in Lodi, New Jersey, and grew up in nearby Paramus. His father was born in Battir, a small village near Bethlehem in what was then Palestine; his mother's parents were born in Sicily. He is part of a small but growing number of Middle Eastern-American comedians who have increasingly received media attention in the past few years, as they use comedy to both entertain and dispel negative stereotypes of Middle Eastern-Americans and Muslims.
Obeidallah and other Arab-American comics have been compared to the groundbreaking minority comedians of the 1960's and 1970's who have used comedy to raise political and social issues in an effort to change them as noted by The Baltimore Sun's David Zurawik:
"Just as comic Lenny Bruce battled the stifling conformity of the 1950s or Dick Gregory and Richard Pryor challenged racism in the '60s and '70s, these performers now are challenging mainstream notions about their ethnic, religious and racial groups."
Barack Hussein Obama II (i/bəˈrɑːk huːˈseɪn oʊˈbɑːmə/; born August 4, 1961) is the 44th and current President of the United States. He is the first African American to hold the office. In January 2005, Obama was sworn in as a U.S. Senator in the state of Illinois. He would hold this office until November 2008, when he resigned following his victory in the 2008 presidential election.
Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, Obama is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he was the president of the Harvard Law Review. He was a community organizer in Chicago before earning his law degree. He worked as a civil rights attorney in Chicago and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004. He served three terms representing the 13th District in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004.
Following an unsuccessful bid against the Democratic incumbent for a seat in the United States House of Representatives in 2000, Obama ran for the United States Senate in 2004. Several events brought him to national attention during the campaign, including his victory in the March 2004 Illinois Democratic primary for the Senate election and his keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in July 2004. He won election to the U.S. Senate in Illinois in November 2004. His presidential campaign began in February 2007, and after a close campaign in the 2008 Democratic Party presidential primaries against Hillary Rodham Clinton, he won his party's nomination. In the 2008 presidential election, he defeated Republican nominee John McCain, and was inaugurated as president on January 20, 2009. Nine months later, Obama was named the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize laureate. In April 2011, he announced that he would be running for re-election in 2012.
Michael Tomasky (born 1960) is a liberal American columnist, journalist and author. He is the editor in chief of Democracy, a special correspondent for Newsweek / The Daily Beast, a contributing editor for The American Prospect, and a contributor to The New York Review of Books.
Tomasky was born and raised in Morgantown, West Virginia. He attended West Virginia University as an undergraduate and then studied political science in graduate school at New York University. His work has also appeared in The New York Times Book Review, The Washington Post, Harper's Weekly, The Nation, The Village Voice, The New York Review of Books, Dissent, Lingua Franca, George, and GQ. He lives with his wife (Sarah) and daughter (Margot Julianna Kerr Tomasky, born July 6, 2010) in Silver Spring, Maryland.
From 1995 to 2002, Tomasky was a columnist at New York magazine, where he wrote the "City Politic" column. He was later executive editor of The American Prospect, and remains a contributing editor. On October 23, 2007, Guardian America was launched with Tomasky as its editor. On March 3, 2009 he replaced Kenneth Baer as editor of U.S. political journal Democracy, at which time his title at The Guardian changed to editor-at-large. In May 2011 Tomasky left The Guardian to join Newsweek / The Daily Beast as a special correspondent.
Sean Parker (born 1979) is an American entrepreneur who was a co-founder of the file-sharing computer service Napster and the first president of the social networking Web site Facebook. He also co-founded Plaxo, Causes, and Airtime. As of March 2012, Parker's net worth was estimated to be $2.1 billion.
Parker was born in Herndon, Virginia to Diane Parker, a TV advertising broker, and Bruce Parker, a U.S. government oceanographer. When Parker was 7, his father taught him how to program on an Atari 800. Parker’s father, who put his family over his entrepreneurial dreams, told Parker "if you are going to take risks, take them early before you have a family."
As a teenager, Parker’s hobbies were hacking and programming. One night, while hacking into the network of a Fortune 500 company, Parker was unable to logout after his father unplugged his computer keyboard. Because his IP address was exposed, F.B.I. agents tracked down the 16-year-old. Since Parker was a minor, he was sentenced to community service.
The song is called the beast
It's about. feeling ugly
I've been whittling a niche a heart that's made of wood
Is feeling pitiful and sick so I'm parting ways for good
A minimal intent's on that could've would've should've
Try to look up high if I mistook the miserable events
I look up at the sky and I pry both my eyes open
So I can decide if it's worth it just to try and
This is what it's like when you fight all the nightmares
To try to find some light there and hold it all in my hands
And the parable is done ugly duckling swan dived into the barrel of a gun
I spent my afternoons alone to stare into the sun
To attract an opposite and go get married just for fun
Come undone predict another mental lapse
Screaming from the top of my lungs until the windows crack
Drinking all the vodka to hush all of my impulse that's
Seeking for the optimal buzz to get my limbs detached
And I'm a part of all the lies
This she loves me not mentality makes gardens all divide
The particle I hide is the iron in my blood
I'll set fire to the sun until the waterfalls are dry
Father son and holy ghost bottled rum and lonely folks
Dance within the lines so they can swallow some and Dosey Doe
I'm so alone I've been living in a vacant pit
Just another voodoo doll victim of relationships
I studied every single eyelash
On her little face and they look like venus flytraps
I always knew I'd meet a nice catch
I didn't think that she would bite back
So please fail me now, you with the pitchfork hey bail me out
Man I act like a man-i-ac I just can't fight back
When this greyscale surrounds me
You say hello there, I say it's hell here
Look at my face to find trace of swell years
With my tongue in my cheek in spite of when I go to bite it
So the blood is released I try to
Look inside me when I summon the beast to fight him
So I guide him right under the sheets to hide it
It's a violent thrill, rhythm of a silent film
Cycle of the moon when it's hunt and release
I might've been sent to jail when I'm dead-set to fail
I felt it coming the death sentence braille
Misery loves comforting and best friends prevail
It's The Beauty and the Beast it's La Bete et la Belle
Please come and kill me with a bullet made of silver
Or a stake inside my chest so I can finally go to sleep
When these lovely feelings are so cold it makes me shiver
When it's breaking my defense so don't go crying over me
Then dream of another fortune that's not average
Sing with a little forked tongue like a basilisk
These simple days of boredom are so cancerous
Seems like I might be sort of like a masochist
I'm so enamored by the swell marks
Breaking all the mirrors just to crawl out of my skin
I'm Ester Greenwood i've been trapped inside a Bell Jar
Believing all the speeches from a charlatan again
I got lectured on the matter
That my topics are myopic non-sequitur and scattered
He uses big words complex with all the patterns
But maybe it's for me and not you
I formerly denounce my former self and form deformities
Conform to formations that were forced to form abnormally
Before I forfeit my fortress and forget my fortune
I'll fortify so you can burn me at the stake
Tricyclics with an SSRI
Just might fix this mix of intense hard times
Light gets dim when I get this dark side
As time tic tic tics and excess stars die
Cause I'm a monster in the flesh
Being haunted by the topics that I conjure with my breath
This is how a death feels this is all that's left
When there's nowhere else to run and you're caught inside the web
I don't even know if I can cry
been so long it feels like I ran dry
something in your eyes tonight
looked into my soul
saw the years of breaking down had taken it's toll
so I'm leaning on you now into the night
don't let go
don't let go
don't wanna let you go
now I'm on the rocks I see your light
I don't need my wings to take this flight
I know I can fly
nothing happens on it's own
fate is just a word
you make me a better man does that sound absurd
and you look into my eyes and softly say
don't let go
don't let go
don't wanna let u go
you are the light in me
pull me in and set me free
you always let me know
hold me tight and don't let go
don't let go
don't let go
don't let go
Pack up your things
Your work here is done
A slave to the beast
No mercy with time
No mercy with time
They bound you with the fire
Then push you into the sun
They want the free land to expire
They want everyone to be numb
The world?s drinking from a cup
That no one wants to share
Words from the king
That no one wants to hear
Don't be running late, are you on time today?
Don't be running late, are you on time today?
Don't be running late, are you on time today?
Don't be running late, are you on time today?
Retrench me because of machines
Kids trading roses for guns
Track marks under the sleeve
I can't talk, I need to run
Love's thrown away the ring
Not knowing what to say
Mama won't you say?
It's like you're cut by the blade
Don't be running late, are you on time today?
Don't be running late, are you on time today?
Don't be running late, are you on time today?
Don't be running late, are you on time today?
Don't be running late, are you on time today?
(Don't be running late, don't be running late)
Don't be running late, are you on time today?
(Don't be running late, don't be running late)
Don't be running late, are you on time today?
(Don't be running late, don't be running late)
Don't be running late, are you on time today?
(Don't be running late)
Don't be running late, don't be running late
Don't be running late, don't be running late
Don't be running late, don't be running late
Where did our love go, you will never know
How did you get home, you will never know
Did you catch yourself in the mirror?
It's a sight I understand
You considered it all for a second
And put it down to slight of hand
You know I've been running 'round for hours
Calling my egyptian(?) blood to bear me flowers
Calling sophia, goddess of power
Instead I got the beast
And tonight he lies with me
Tonight he lies with me
Tonight he lies with me
And here comes to beast
You're okay now, I suppose
You're not pulled by the rope
I'm pulled by the pull on my throat
I'm pulled by the rope
I swing from the trees into the slope
Hold my head high, just by the tip of my toes
And he lies, he lies so sweet that I choke
Tonight I choose the beast
Tonight he lies with me
Tonight he lies with me
Tonight he lies with me
And here comes the beast
Put your eyes away
If you can't bear to see your (the?) old lady
Laying down next to the beast
Tonight he lies with me
Tonight he lies with me
And here comes the beast
Look at yourself in the mirror
It's a sight I understand
You consider it all for a second
And put it down to slight of hand
I give you the best, the best that I can
I suggest that you be grateful
That it's your blood on my hands?
And assume yourself weaker, the fall of man (?)
And look out for the beast
Tonight he lies with me
Tonight he lies with me
And here comes the beast
Put your eyes away
If you can't bear to see your (the?) old lady
Laying down next to the beast
Tonight he lies with me
Tonight he lies with me
The prey of the beast screamed
bloody murder
the line is so fine between
hoping and hurting
former believers they beg for release
as love looking down on them
Smiles and picks his teeth
trapped in between heaven and hell
he knows all the secrets
and don't want to tell
there's nowhere to run and there's
nowhere to hide
love knows you all too well
He will find you
Love is the ghost haunting your head
love is the killer you thought
was your friend
love is the creature who lives
in the dark
sneaks up, will stick you
and painfully pick you apart
Love is a poet, love sings the songs
pointing his finger you follow along
voices are calling,
the monster wants out of you
paws you and claws you, you try not to fall
Love is the leech, sucking you up
love is a vampire, drunk on your blood
love is the beast that will
tear out your heart
hungrily lick it and
painfully pick it apart
(Repeats)
Love is a ghost, haunting your head
love is the killer you thought
was your friend
Love is the teacher who lives in the dark
sneak up and stick you
You can hear the thunder
Long before the storm,
But you can't hear the lion when he stalks his prey
He's moving like a shadow
Creeping up on you
And like a siren's call he's gonna have his way
You'd better run, forget your pride
Don't make a stand, just step aside
If you don't have what it takes
Don't try to play you'll lose your stakes
Remember this at least
It's the nature of the beast
It's the nature of the beast
You won't hear a footstep
Comin' up on you
Movin' like a snake he's in complete control
This killer knows his business
He is the predator
You are his only target, you're his only goal
What will you say what will you do?
Your wildest nightmare's comin' true
There is nothing you can say
No way to change, he won't delay
This cain will have his feast
It's the nature of the beast
It's the nature of the beast
If you play you're bound to lose
Don't roll the dice, don't turn the screws
Just listen to the priest
It's the nature of the beast
It's the nature of the beast
It's the nature of the beast
Oh my, oh my word
We're having more fun than we deserve
Oh hell, oh hell yeah
Chaos reigns inside my head
It's been a long road down the wrong road
I've got everything but a broken soul
Oh my, oh my dear
Strap yourself in 'cause we're out of here
I'm beginning to feel
We can make it 'till the end
I'm beginning to feel
The beast is alive again
I'm beginning to feel
We can make it 'till the end
It's a ride worthwhile, my friend
Oh my, oh my Lord
We're pushing faders from here to New York
Oh well, you gotta have some guts
Wanna live before we're back to dust
We've come a long way and it's our our way
No one can touch us on a good day
We don't show up, we arrive
Maybe it's time you believed the hype
I'm beginning to feel
We can make it 'till the end
I'm beginning to feel
The beast is alive again
I'm beginning to feel
We can make it 'till the end
It's a ride worthwhile, my friend
Way out here
Never wanna come down
There's no fear
No sense of time
You can try to talk me down
Guess there ain't no use
'Cause you might as well
Light up a fuse
I'm beginning to feel
We can make it 'till the end
I'm beginning to feel
The beast is alive again
I'm beginning to feel
We can make it 'till the end
It's a ride worthwhile, my friend

We want fun we wanna run
We want fun we gotta run
We want fun get out among the hottest clubs and find some love
Billions of people have heard of me and everyone knows
the sun rises in the East.
Not too nice, not too sweet, no-one even talks to me.
I shake the leaves right off the trees. I'm the bee's greasy knees.
I shake 'em, I break 'em, I drop 'em from eight miles high, alright
In the past my fate was cast, my social life was limited to Halloween
and New Years Eve, monotony was killing me, approaching schizophrenia.
I hit the hot spots every night and ...
for the first time in my life the bouncers would greet me,
the doormen would escort me, managers adored me.
Photographers would follow me begging for a smile;
"Beast, over here, Beast!" "Here, Beast!" The hat check always said to me,
"Hiya B, whatcha doin' later?"
We want fun we gotta run
If you need fun get out and run
You need fun for feeling fine
We want fun for feeling fine and find the one ...
Now I'm not bragging. Heaven knows, I spend no more nights alone.
Lucky me, I'm ten foot three and freaky.
My picture's been reprinted, interviews requested one hundred times a week.
Believe it, I'm not talking through my teeth .....
Are you sure you got it, I mean it, to prove it I'm in the news.
It's true, it's true, check it out, check it out
He wants her love
She wants love
I take action, get relief, pick a partner, pick a piece, get satisfaction
I am the Beast, I am the Beast
She wants fun
He wants her love
I get satisfaction - I pick up my feet.
I'm the centre of attraction by staying off the streets
And I want love, get some funk and get some fun
Punks like fun, punks like funk
Warn the town the beast is loose,
Word 'em up y'all
C'mon
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***
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 brung the bomb as it comes from Oklahoma
Things are getting serious, Kuumbaya,
On a mountain satan offered me, Manhattan help me Jah Jah
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.
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 ass gets harrassed.
And the fuzz treat bruh'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.
Warn the town the beast is loose, Ah - ah, Ah - ah
Word 'em up y'all
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 ass but they still harrass me.
The streets of corruption 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.
Hey yo should I slow down?
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.
Warn the town the beast is loose, Ah - ah, Ah - ah,
Who can find
The Beast?
She's big,
She's bad,
She's wicked,
She's sad...
Who can fight
The Beast?
She comes,
She goes,
Who ever
Knows...
Who can fight
[Verse 1:]
I'll slap? in his face, this is my time and place
Super fly like chimps in space, gorilla apes
Smoking an ace, our high grades lower the gates
Bumrushing the place like I'm owed what I take
I shed blood and tears for this over the bass
Now drown in it, that's what happens when the flow is too great
Those that meet the coldest fate, MCs that you overrate
I apply the pressure to the boards like I'm overweight
Even flow, fuck it if I am, the only thing that talks are the duckets in my hand
And maybe a couple grams of the poison that I choose
All joy has left the room like the void inside a womb
On a beat with Snowgoons, that's instrumental death
Just as simple as the rest but pull tissue from the flesh
On the mission for the? this is wisdom at it's best
Just as vicious as the next motherfucker that you sweat
[Hook: scratching]
What I look like? Why you wanna come at me?
You ain't even in my class
Trust me, I'm as live as it gets
You ain't even in my class
Why you wanna come at me?
You ain't even in my class
Trust me, I'm as live as it gets
You better learn
[Verse 2:]
I'm coming for your land, I'm coming for your fucking head, goonology.
I'll murder Mother Nature and bury her in her own earth
She semi-suicidal for violating my known turf
My? pistol? dam dripping you can't fix it
? henchman on rare visits for square inches
Man listen I have risen from the ashes
Disastrous like having your brain cavity smashed in
This the sound that happens when cities are collapsing
Or when titans are clashing, we wreak havoc
There's no method to the madness
No equation of mathematics, it's just savage
How can they understand it?
I want what they inhabiting
I'll burn it to the motherfucking ground if I can't have it
Monstrous like a killer with no conscience
Street smarts and no heart to go along with
The war on this other carcass with a strong scent
I'm on this but it gets even worse whenever I'm bent
[Hook:]
What I look like? Why you wanna come at me?
You ain't even in my class
Trust me, I'm as live as it gets
You ain't even in my class
Why you wanna come at me?
You ain't even in my class
Trust me, I'm as live as it gets
Late at night in Rosie's Pub in a room marked 666
You can hear some wicked music as the devil [treats?] the mix
And if you dare to venture where the Tennessee waters flow
On a mattress in the corner, you'll find the legend from Mayo
Aside the piles of dishes, and the charred remains of priests
Underneath the bedclothes, between the mouldy sheets
Lies the mother of all pluckers, the high priest of freaks
The legend on the mattress, is the man they call "The Beast."
you can hear the thunder
long before the storm,
but you can't hear the lion when he stalks his prey
he's moving like a shadow
creeping up on you
and like a siren's call he's gonna have his way
you'd better run, forget your pride
don't make a stand, just step aside
if you don't have what it takes
don't try to play you'll lose your stakes
remember this at least
it's the nature of the beast
it's the nature of the beast
you won't hear a footstep
comin' up on you
movin' like a snake he's in complete control
this killer knows his business
he is the predator
you are his only target, you're his only goal
what will you say what will you do?
your wildest nightmare's comin' true
there is nothing you can say
no way to change, he won't delay
this cain will have his feast
it's the nature of the beast
it's the nature of the beast
if you play you're bound to lose
don't roll the dice, don't turn the screws
just listen to the priest
it's the nature of the beast
it's the nature of the beast
it's the nature of the beast
(Insanity at it's finest. Fire starter, riot maker,
moon stricken, animal need, bad seed, untaimable beast)
”Everybody around me always think they know what's
going on inside my mind, they think I'm Mr. Nice Guy all the time.
How they say on Diary? You think you know, but you have no idea.”
[Chorus:]
K.C.M.O is with me
Must make mo (more) dough
We will be shaking your floor
Come against me
That’s a no no
Yo, cause I’m a Beast
I can smell your woman's rosy punani
on the dance floor all the way in VIP
I'm a rapper, I can snatch her,
and she will leave with me because of my stature.
Now, everybody move, everybody bounce.
Whoever the Nina choose, we about to pounce.
(work it out)
With the 151 and a bottle, I call Heff
will he let me hit this model in the grotto
I like all women, tall women, and small women.
Ya gotta let tech-ni tease your shakra.
Species release freaks, please the monster.
Petite beast, feast, these G’s will rock ya.
Handcuff a busta don’t trust her
Round these hustlas homie don’t be a sucka.
When your lover say tecca nina's a brother,
she's trying to say that I rushed her then crushed her.
[Chorus x2]
I'm about to get that money like a robbery,
Now I got it all my enemies wanna clobber me.
Squallery harder we need dollars comradery
the hotter the scholar be, the larger the lottery.
Need ten, twins, gotta succeed spend G's, Ben Franks
We cram G’s in banks, breathe said we win thanks
Hungry like the wolf indeed, but I give
money to my crooks in need, I live
In Sherman Oaks but from Kansas City,
I miss home, Cali is Business but man it's pretty.
I ain't lying y'all, Monster for money for mine y'all
if I wasn't getting money, I'd do time dog.
You'd never see the nine fall,
big house, wood floors,
maid cleaning the bitches with pine-sol
[Chorus x2]
Friend, this industry is no kin to me,
behold the flow of the century.
But they scared of me
rappers they don't compare to me.
Fair to be said that he dares to be sincerely a rarity.
Check the sound scan, look around man.
Wake up look at you Jacob, you in killer clown land.
Face paint and jugalettes with bubble butts
And we rock it twisted diddy women in the button ups.
Hands down we rock harder than Kiss,
but rap me Kutt and Krizz.
Can I get two stomps and a clap in this bitch
Nina shot to the top 'cause the plots to get rich.
Tell ya executives,
I'm next for this
Success it is.
Yet the best for Tech, this ain't
Baptist Pentecostal or Methodist..
This is the beast baby.
Out, I mean exodus.
(I'm in and I will destroy you. I am the beast)
Run from the beast
There's danger in his eyes
He's been looking for you
For a long time
You might think this is funny
But I'm not laughing
I know it couldn't happen to me.
No one doubts the wisdom of this move
You're getting older and you know you got something to prove
Out in the streets
The modern vampire prowls
He's been spreading disease
All around
There's an epidemic
If you don't believe me
You ought to take a look at the eyes of your friends
When someone tempts you, you can't refuse
It's getting colder and you know you got nothing to lose
You need it
Know you got nothing to lose
You need it
Run from the beast
There's darkness in his mind
He's been looking for you
For a long time
You might think this is funny
But I'm not laughing
I know that it couldn't happen to me
I don't care about it happening to me
I've tried to show you your whole life in print
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink
Think about it
All you gotta do is think
Everyone starts with a clean slate
We're all the same when we're born:
Hopeless... at the mercy of others...
Waiting to take on final form
Some have it good, so good
It's paradise right from the start
Some live at the fucking bottom
And stay there forever because that's who they are!
Choice: it's the one thing
That separates man from the beast
Will: the will to use it
That's what separates you and me!
I'll bet you can guess how my life's been
Maybe from the tone of these words!
You can be sure it's been shit
And you can be sure that I'm disturbed!
It's been a long time coming
But I'll finally take my own advice
And crawl out from underneath this pile
Then take you by the throat and take back my life!
Today is the day I take my final form
Today is the day I am reborn
When man and beast become one
The prince of darkness, the man possessed,
Ten horns arise, the seven heads.
The ancient serpent, the ancient name,
The fallen angel crawls in shame.
The dark messiah, the lawless one,
The face of tyranny is born the son.
Behold the nail, the sentence of death,
And Jesus wept, it is manifest.
And the beast alive, and its hour come,
Crawling towards the city to be born again.
The new world order, the black abyss,
The reign of terror, the saviour's kiss,
The final solution is seven years.
The great delusion, behold the tears.
The virus parasite feeding in bondage,
The rings of flesh in its teeth breathing carnage.
The wall of disease arises, the living hell.
The desperate nightmare is becoming real.
And the critical hour has arrived, in the sacred land
To the nation, revelation is at hand.
And the little horn is rising, rising to stand.
In this horn are eyes lie the eyes of a man.
Now its day
But soon the night is here
Again and I will pray
For a night without no fear
Tormenting my mind I'm so scared
Slowly tearing me apart
There is no more will I most kill
Screams of anger all around
This cannot be reality
I destroy and kill
Is this reality?
I destroy and kill
Is this reality?
Or just a fantasy?
The beast of no religion
The beast a mysterious creation
The beast of no religion
The beast a mysterious creation
The beast within
Commanding my mind
Hold me as a prisoner
Who has lost control of time
I am trapped and lost inside a cage
I cannot escape the beast
The key to freedom disappeared
Searching for the holy path
Escaping pain and misery
I destroy and kill
Is this reality?
I destroy and kill
Is this reality?
Or just a fantasy
The beast of no religion
The beast a mysterious creation
The beast of no religion
The beast a mysterious creation
[Solo]
I hear those voices talking
But there is no one there
I hear those voices talking
Please make them disappear
I hear those voices talking
Cant take it any more
I hear those voices talking
Fight the unholy war
So many man before me
Has fallen down and cried
So many man before me
No matter how they tried
The beast of no religion
The beast a mysterious creation
The beast of no religion
The beast a mysterious creation
The beast of no religion
The beast a mysterious creation
The beast of no religion
The beast a mysterious creation
The beast of no religion
The beast a mysterious creation
The beast of no religion
I ask you for forgiveness and you deny
I can't tell you what for
I can't tell you why
It wasn't an accident
It wasn't even me
It was just the beast I once set free
This didn't happen on purpose
This just had to be
It was not about my instinct
It was just the beast I once set free
Give me salvation
And rest at least
You just have to kill the beast
Give me salvation
And rest at least
[CHORUS]
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 DICK
[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 brung the bomb as it comes 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 FUCK" is my name
"WHAT THE FUCK" 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 ass gets harrassed.
And the fuzz treat bruh'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.
[CHORUS]
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 ass but they still harrass me.
[PRAZ]
The streets of corruption 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.
[CHORUS]
Warn the town the beast is loose, Ah - ah, Ah - ah,
Word 'em up y'all
IT'S TIME
TIME TO UNLEASH THE BEAST
And then to realize
Its teeth are fucking gone
Still with its bleeding gums
It ignores the "no offence meant"s and "I don't mind"s
But cant bite through the "please not in front of my eyes"s
And the "please don't get me wrong"s
A deathtrap made of bagatelles
A spear made up of nothingness
This is how it is
Oh boy, you're drowning in the quicksand of the things
That you didn't mean that way
Here's some advice:
Don't say 'em then!
What's left of you fits in your big mouth
Next to your bitten tongue
What's left of us is gaining strength and
The beast is out there to terrify
The suburban homes full of open-minded dads
But brokeback mountain scared the shit out of their pants
I know your mom's not in for racist behavior
But better to keep an eye on the immigrated neighbors
When was the last time you called somebody a fag?
Or just joined the laughter cause you felt too powerless
See, I don't wanna spoil the fun
But you might wanna reflect on the things you've done
What's left of you is not much more than
Your fear and hatred and
What's left of us is gaining strength and
All we have left is tolerance
All we have left is dignity
Time to unleash the beast
And then to decimate the ones
Who pave the way for prejudice
And when you feel the waves crash in above your head
Don't bury it on the ocean floor
Just remember the beast
And to wake it up
So go ahead
And make it rise to life instead
ALL WE HAVE LEFT
Is dignity
ALL WE HAVE
