napoleon da legend - tha squeeze lyrics
– aiiyo son, it seems like, everyday
more and more people begin to get more foul
uhn, now dig..
-ssociation breed -ssimilation
let me tell you what happened
i’m driving the other night, these two f-ggots pull me over
talkin bout 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 somethin for them
[verse one: guru & napoleon da legend]
who’s the real criminals, take a look behind the scenes
cause half of goons incarcerated playing in the minor leagues
guess it pays in many ways to have a few schemes
gotta do me, before they they put us in a snooze
make you lose speed
the systems set up in a way to keep us in a trap
phone tap, crime and justice start to overlap
remember ferguson? they taking joy in hurting us
it’s like a curse for us, police be the first to bust
think about it…
police roam where we struggle most and
for them the evidence’ll vanish in a puff of smoke
i’ve been observant
had to dig below the surface
i guess you get what you deserve in this
from project hallways to courthouse hallways
scr-ping for these bucks no such thing as an off day
speed on, before you get beat on
all i need is more power, then i’mma put the squeeze on
[hook]
i want more power, i’m gainin more troops
i’m gaining more respect cause i want more juice
the most influential men, got influential friends
and i’mma 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’mma put the squeeze on all of ’em

[napoleon da legend verse]
hey yo that badge got you g-ssed?
gotta hit ya quota so you looking for a black man to bag?
incarcerating us in m-ss cause there’s cash in imprisonment
especially the tenement cl-ss
u know the quote, unquote poor who can’t afford lawyers when go to court so they get the book thrown at em
treating us like our lives don’t matter it’s a known pattern
do you have a weapon on u? no madam
no ma’am, no officer, no ya honor
i just wanna live longer than the stats show in the left column
i just left harlem stopped on my way home
plain coats i guess it’s same ol’, same ol’
new jim crow the pipeline from streets to prison
we gotta put a squeeze on the beast defeat the system
f-ck ya biases, this for the blocks and high rises
watch ya back yo don’t be caught lacking or blind sided
