GangStarr - The Squeeze lyrics

- Aiiyo son, it seems like, everyday more and more people begin to get more foul Uhn, now dig. Association breeze some relation Let me tell you what happened I'm driving the other night, these two f*ggots they pull me over Talking like I got a broken taillight They got a broken headlight They shake me down, they tellin me that they gon' come and see me tomorrow and have somethin' for them - Word, so what up? So now I got something for them [ Verse One ] Who's the real criminals, take a look behind the scenes Corruption and greed is calling plates routine Guess it pays in many ways to have a few schemes sh**, I know modal citizens, that ain't squeeking clean You got dirty politicians, dirty judges and dirty cops Everyone's on the tape, 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 requel sh** some f**ing junk For them the evidence'll vanish in a puff of smoke I been observin', I 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 [ Hook ] I want more power, I'm gaining more troops 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 'em I watched y'all get fat, now I want my share What 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 'em [ Premo scratches ] "They wanna see the God catch an L it's all a Set Up" -> [Guru] "It's a Daily Operation" -> Guru "You know me son, show respect" -> Steele "They wanna see the God catch an L it's all a Set Up" -> [Guru] "This jam is dedicated, to you and your boys" The squeeze. [ Verse Two ] Believe me son, I'ma put the squeeze on 'em Croocked cats, and confiscating gats and keeping 'em Hustlers convincing every night at D&D Had chicks on a strip with Trace in eighty-three It's nothing, that's why I now I'm on top And I'ma stay in 'till I'm paid and owe nothing They gon' take they cut, so why shouldn't I Eliminate the middlemen, who thought they could die Go overseas, make G's and bring it back to the streets A neverending 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 f** up your plan So speed on, before you get peed on All I need is more power, then I'ma put the squeeze on [ Repeat Hook ] [ Premo scratches ] "They wanna see the God catch an L it's all a Set Up" -> [Guru] "This jam is dedicated, to you and your boys" The squeeze.
