Ice T - Squeeze The Trigger Lyrics
Squeeze the triggerRampage on stage,my crews in a rageSearched my posse,found the uzi but missed the 12 gaugeManiac,Im a rhyme brainiac,livin on the edge of a razorRemember thatCold rollin thick as a shake,Im rockin hard as a quakeI cant live on bread and water or lobster and steakMy minos a riot gun,there aint none biggerAbout to unload the ammo,e squeeze the triggerThey say Im violent,they should watch their t.v.They say Im brutal,they should check their p.d.You made me,now your kids rave meI rap about the life that the city streets gave meMurder,intrigue,somebody must bleedMiami vice is small time,l.as the big leagueFrom the rollin 60s to the nickerson gPueblos,grape street,this is what I seeThe jungle,the 30s,the v.n.g.Life in l.a. aint no cup of terSqueeze the triggerIve been dogged out by cops,shackled and sockedPaid my dues to the streets,took my hard knocksDisrespected by snobs,damn near trampled by mobsPersecuted by squares workin nine to five jobsLike a panther I prowl ,like a lion I growlLearn to see behind my back like the head of an owlIm the voice of the youth,the prophet of truthWhat I speak is really though someMay say ruthless tactics are takin by me to awakenPeople to life but I feel no fakinNo jivin,no lyin,no frontin,no playinSay exactly whats up,understand what Im sayinBan me,try it,you might cause a riotWhat the radio wont play,the underground will supply itIm a mc pirate thats loud not quietRadical as they makeem,make a rule Ill defy itCritics may say Im wise,some may call my words liesIve lived more in one day than they will in their livesBut most do respect the words I injectKick credit for realism and the truth I projectBecause I could bust rhymes for fun,or cut mcs like a knifeBut the topic I love is the drama of lifeSo dont diss me dont dare,i feel you should careYou may think Im soft but youre just unawareOf the wrath of the ice enraged prepareFor a true nighmareSqueeze the triggerCops hate kids,kids hate cops,cops kill kids with warnin shoutsWhat is crime and what in not? what is justice? i think I forgotWe buy weapons to keep us strongReagan sends guns where they dont belongThe controversy is thick and the drag is strongBut no matter the lies we all know whos wrongHomeless sleep on the city streetsWaitin to die with nothin to eatWhile rich politicians soak their feetIn the pools at their ten million buck retreatsPeople hate people for color of faceNo one had a choice in the race we were placedA brother in queens was beaten and chasedMurdered cold in the streets, a goodamn disgraceJust because of his race,his life went to wasteAnd no one went to jail when the court heard the caseJustice or corruption? its all interlacedHow can you swallow this? i cant stand the tasteSqueeze the triggerI get paid for illin,cold makin a killinMy pockets keep fillin,i got dollars to the ceilinGot a safe in my floor,car got bullet proof doorsEvery time I rock the mic I leave you wishin for moreBecause my raps aint bull,got cold stupid pullYou wanna eat my rhymes like candy,till your minds over fullBut most mcs today aint got nothin to sayA to the mother *****in kSqueeze the trigger
