Tha Squeeze Songtext
von Gang Starr

Ayo son, it seems like every day
More and more people begin to get more foul
Now dig

Association breeds assimilation

Let me tell you what happened
I′m driving the other night
These two faggots pull me over
Talking about I got a broken tail light
They got a broken headlight

They shake me down, they telling me
That they gonna come and see me tomorrow and have something for them
(Word, so what else?)
So now I got something for them


Who's the real criminals? Take a look behind the scenes
Corruption and greed is commonplace routine
Guess it pays in many ways to have a few schemes
Shit, I know model citizens that ain′t squeaky clean
You got dirty politicians, dirty judges and dirty cops
Everyone's on the take, the hood's filled with dirty blocks
How we gonna save the community? They worse than us
It′s like a curse for us, police be the first to bust

Think about it, that RICO shit′s no fucking joke
For them the evidence will vanish in a puff of smoke
I've been observing, I′ll never be subservient
I guess you get what you deserve in this

From project hallways to courthouse hallways
Some prevail, most see jail, this happens always
Speed on, before you get peed on
All I need is more power, then I'ma put the squeeze on

I want more power, I′m gaining more truths
I'm gaining more respect cause I want more juice
The most influential men got influential friends
And I′ma put the squeeze on all of them
I watched y'all get fat, now I want my share
Once you ain't got it all, then I want what′s there
The most influential men got influential friends
And I′ma put the squeeze on all of them


They want to see the card, get your L, it's all a set up
It′s a daily operation
You know me son, show respect
They want to see the card, get your L, it's all a set up
This jam is dedicated to you and your boys and your boys
The squeeze

Believe me son, I′ma put the squeeze on them
Crooked cats and confiscate the gats they keeping them
Hustlers convention every night at D&D
Had chicks on the strip with Trace in '83
It′s nothing, that's why I know I'm owed something
And I′ma stay here ′til I'm paid and owe nothing
They gonna take their cut, so why should I?

Eliminate the middleman, who thought they could die?
Go overseas, make G′s and bring it back to the streets
A never ending saga when I rap to these beats
As the minutes go by, you 'bout to get it, know why?
I′m already in too deep, so forget it, don't try

Cause all you gonna find is suffering and pain
I had enough of you man, I′m 'bout to fuck up your plan
So speed on, before you get peed on
All I need is more power, then I'ma put the squeeze on

I want more power, I′m gaining more truths
I′m gaining more respect cause I want more juice
The most influential men got influential friends
And I'ma put the squeeze on all of them
I watched y′all get fat, now I want my share
Once you ain't got it all, then I want what′s there
The most influential men got influential friends
And I'ma put the squeeze on all of them

They want to see the card, get your L, it′s all a set up
They want to see the card, get your L, it's all a set up
They want to see the card, get your L, it's all a set up
This jam is dedicated to you and your boys and your boys
The squeeze
