Riot Starter Lyrics

We understand all of the officers
In the Central Division have been ordered to wear
Their helmets and basically to get into riot gear
Ok, we have, uh, trouble breaking out here right now

Tensions are building, uh, the police have just wrestled
A couple of people to the ground
Police in riot gear
The police are, uh, forming a long line now

In the year of ninety eight, you can't wait
Niggaz been waitin' on our release date
I know how to pick 'em up, stick 'em up
Everybody go crazy while I'm f**kin' shit up

Who's on the floor, while the beats break
Look at you feelin' to catch a vibe, you buyin' an e-ticket
To the unknown, hilltop feelin' a lot drop
You gotta get the f**k out of the spot

Hear no, speak no, see no, but we know
Good reigns over evil, how it'd be though?
I'm doing it my way, like Carlito

Taking over the whole scene, a bad dude, so
Bring yourself off up the ground, start it up
Break it up, shake it up, you better be wakin' up

Riot Starter, Riot Starter, come on

Yeah, move it to the side
Cypress Hill coming through once again
Check this out, this is for ninety eight, nine nine
Forever, baby, come again now

People like talkin', but can't walk a mile
Puttin' you down, but they can't bite a style
I start the riot up, fire it up
Watch the roof cave in, while I'm lightin' the shit up

You want some more, fanatical, rhyme animal
Slammin' your head, bangin' the wall, it's all mechanical
Hear no, speak no, see no, but we know
Don't even try to breathe, though an amigo

Don't move unless you feelin' the whole move
Like a bomb, gonna blow, I'm killin' the whole room
Still no real souls, heal those through real shows
Broken, how your grill goes, you feel those

Then I pealed those off of the wall who got bombed
Cypress Hill reignin' supreme, we stand tall
People never answer their call, they fall slow
When the riot starts feelin' the boom, you better roll

Riot Starter, Riot Starter
Riot Starter, Riot Starter, come on

Yo, get the f**k up out the stage
We gonna tear the roof up off this motherf**ker
Yo, move the f**k out kid, we gonna tear this shit up
Hit that breakdown, homie

Look at all the pigs they can't hold me down
Riot gear on, they fiendin' to get clowned
Watch as I throw my weight, they hesitate
While I'm circulatin' the flow, movin' through every state

Stay calm, play on, be gone, the Teflon
No delay on the mission, I breathe calm
Who's gonna be the thrilla when I'm gone?
Makin' the scrilla, Manilla, the Don Juan

Seek low, need no, info, the weed codes
Don't even try to think though, I'm a kilo
Dope shit, my position remains firm
f**kin' your head up, take a sip, eat the worm

Let it burn, up in your stomach, you never learn from it
When the stone of soul comin' to return

Riot Starter, Riot Starter
Riot Starter, Riot Starter, come on

Yo, get the f**k out of the way or get hurt man
You got to move motherf**ker, you got to move
You gotta make shit happen
Yo, once again, this is Sen Dog

All the way from the Soul a*sa*sins Laboratory
Somewhere, who the f**k knows where at, knahm sayin'?
Big shout out, all the Soul a*sa*sins across the country
Wherever you at, yo check this shit out

We comin' hard baby, we bringin' it live
We gonna burn that motherf**ker down, yo
Tryin' to raise the roof, we wanna f**k it up
We wanna do whatever it is the f**k you call it

As long you get out the f**kin' way, let Cypress come through
Word, yeah, we gonna call this one 'The Riot Starter'
We wanna see that shit, everybody say that shit, Riot Starter
