"We understand all of the officers in the Central Division
 have been ordered to wear their helmets and basically
 to get into riot gear"
 [TV Reporter 2]
 "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..."
 [B Real]
 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 fuckin shit up
 Who's on the floor, while the beats break
 Hey ? feelin to catch a vibe, you buyin an e-ticket
 to the unknown, hilltop feelin a lot drop
 You gotta get the fuck out of the spot
 Hear no, speak no, see no, but we know
 Good reigns over evil, how it 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
 [Sen Dog]
 "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!"
 [B-Real]
 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
 [Sen Dog]
 "Yo, get the fuck up out the stage
 We gonna tear the roof up off this motherfucker
 Yo, move the fuck out kid
 We gonna tear this shit up
 Hit that breakdown, homie!"
 [B-Real]
 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
 Fuckin your head up, take a sip, eat the worm
 Let it burn, up in your stomach, you never learn from it
 When the stoned of Soul comin to return
 Riot...Starter
 Riot...Starter
 Riot...Starter
 Riot...Starter
 Come on

 "Yo, get the fuck out of the way or get hurt man
