Squeeze The Trigger Lyrics - Greatest Hits: The Evidence - Ice T

Squeeze the trigger 

Rampage on stage,my crews in a rage 

Searched my posse,found the Uzi but missed the 12 gauge 

Maniac,I'm a rhyme brainiac,livin' on the edge of a razor 

Remember that 

Cold rollin' thick as a shake,I'm rockin' hard as a quake 

I can't live on bread and water or lobster and steak 

My mino's a riot gun,there ain't none bigger 

About to unload the ammo,"E" squeeze the trigger 

They say I'm violent,they should watch their T.V. 

They say I'm brutal,they should check their P.D. 

You made me,now your kids rave me 

I rap about the life that the city streets gave me 

Murder,intrigue,somebody must bleed 

Miami Vice is small time,L.A's the big league 

From the rollin' 60's to the nickerson "G" 

Pueblos,grape street,this is what I see 

The jungle,the 30's,the V.N.G. 

Life in L.A. ain't no cup of ter 

Squeeze the trigger 

I've been dogged out by cops,shackled and socked 

Paid my dues to the streets,took my hard knocks 

Disrespected by snobs,damn near trampled by mobs 

Persecuted by squares workin' nine to five jobs 

Like a panther I prowl ,like a lion I growl 

Learn to see behind my back like the head of an owl 

I'm the voice of the youth,the prophet of truth 

What I speak is really though some 

May say ruthless tactics are takin' by me to awaken 

People to life but I feel no fakin' 

No jivin',no lyin',no frontin',no playin' 

Say exactly what's up,understand what I'm sayin' 

Ban me,try it,you might cause a riot 

What the radio won't play,the underground will supply it 

I'm a MC pirate that's loud not quiet 

Radical as they make'em,make a rule I'll defy it 

Critics may say I'm wise,some may call my words lies 

I've lived more in one day than they will in their lives 

But most do respect the words I inject 

Kick credit for realism and the truth I project 

Because I could bust rhymes for fun,or cut MC's like a knife 

But the topic I love is the drama of life 

So don't diss me don't dare,I feel you should care 

You may think I'm soft but you're just unaware 

Of the wrath of the Ice enraged prepare 

For a true nighmare 

Squeeze the trigger 

Cops hate kids,kids hate cops,cops kill kid's with warnin' shouts 

What is crime and what in not?what is justice?I think I forgot 

We buy weapons to keep us strong 

Reagan sends guns where they don't belong 

The controversy is thick and the drag is strong 

But no matter the lies we all know who's wrong 

Homeless sleep on the city streets 

Waitin' to die with nothin' to eat 

While rich politicians soak their feet 

In the pools at their ten million buck retreats 

People hate people for color of face 

No one had a choice in the race we were placed 

A brother in queens was beaten and chased 

Murdered cold in the streets, a goodamn disgrace 

Just because of his race,his life went to waste 

And no one went to jail when the court heard the case 

Justice or corruption?it's all interlaced 

How can you swallow this?I can't stand the taste 

Squeeze the trigger 

I get paid for illin',cold makin' a killin' 

My pockets keep fillin',I got dollars to the ceilin' 

Got a safe in my floor,car got bullet proof doors 

Every time I rock the mic I leave you wishin' for more 

Because my raps ain't bull,got cold stupid pull 

You want to eat my rhymes like candy,till your mind's over full 

But most MC's today ain't got nothin' to say 

"A" to the mother fuckin' "K" 

Squeeze the trigger
