The Beast Lyrics by This Side Up

Full Fat

2016

Hook:

Unlock and release or escape and retreat
I'm the former fuck the latter man i rather be the beast
Unlock and release or escape and retreat
I'm the former fuck the latter man i rather be the beast
Unlock and release or escape and retreat
I'm the former fuck the latter man i rather be the beast
Unlock and release or escape and retreat

Shaool:

Why not chill, yeah i'm chillin' blinds to the windowsill
Melting to the level of an imbecile
Scanning every URL, drifting in a braindead abyss
Til' i crash back my brain wonder what the fuck is this
I've a wild amount of works needs done
Need funnel air by the ton out from my pair a lungs
And shape it into something
It's a beauty, it's daunting, it's far too often
That the best thoughts never get near brought to happening
So now i'm acting with scant regard, i'm on a charge
Coming like the Queen Meave march
Up running thoughts bubble i double my pace
Yeah cert i'm goin' be stumbling one of the days

Myster-E:

I'm strolling roads that I don't know my way around
I'm coming close to getting lost if i don't concentrate right now
Try to coax every fibre of my brain to keep an eye out for some gain
Any gain, again, again, again
Need i explain why? no i won't it's simple plain
Obtain a great life is where i always aim so know my name
It's Myster-E blowing flames like an Urulóki
You'd need to go get Yokozuna back to sumo just to try and stop me
I never got one
An alliance with me and complying with the popular
Lose the binoculars
Look around and take a pop at it
I can cool down laying in a box with six
Feet of clay piled up on top of it
At this rate i won't wait long for this

Hook:

Unlock and release or escape and retreat
I'm the former fuck the latter man i rather be the beast
Unlock and release or escape and retreat
I'm the former fuck the latter man i rather be the beast
Unlock and release or escape and retreat
I'm the former fuck the latter man i rather be the beast
Unlock and release or escape and retreat

Shaool:

Why study the science and not apply it once

Myster-E:

Smash that gorilla glass before your mind is numb

Shaool:

Get out from under the thumb of the bully
Give him a thump and get mucky hands
Stand up and leave him looking ugly

Myster-E:

Sure look at me i'm not trouble free
But if somethings not my cup of tea
No worries it'll get buried cause i'm a fucking beast

Shaool:

No eeking out piece by piece no creeping
We're just bound and leaping
Not an ounce of doubt between us
Really go spilling the guts, it's silly stuff
Staying put, stuck wondering how much they might judge

Myster-E:

I have to laugh at these chaps trapped living a lie
Splitting me sides buddy you're as fake as visions of Christ
A touchy subject but fuck it i couldn't give a shit
So shut up i'm not budging legitimate til' my ticker quits

Hook:

Unlock and release or escape and retreat
I'm the former fuck the latter man i rather be the beast
Unlock and release or escape and retreat
I'm the former fuck the latter man i rather be the beast
Unlock and release or escape and retreat
I'm the former fuck the latter man i rather be the beast
Unlock and release or escape and retreat
