"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
^!$$%z been waitin on our release date

I know how to pick em up, stick em up
Everybody go crazy while I'm $#&@in %#@! 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 $#&@ 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 %#@! 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 $#&@ up out the stage
We gonna tear the roof up off this mother$#&@er
Yo, move the $#&@ out kid

We gonna tear this %#@! 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 %#@!, my position remains firm
$#&@in 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


[Sen Dog]
"Yo, get the $#&@ out of the way or get hurt man
You got to move mother$#&@er, you got to move
