Well you done know,
When gangsta touch the street,
Food have fi eat
It's a gangsta life
Zagga zow
[Chorus:]
We squeeze and make cheese
Bu'n my enemy
Cats freeze and beg please
Put them on their knee
We seize the opportunities for our families to make Gs
Bu'n the wannabes
We squeeze and make cheese
Bu'n my enemy
Cats freeze and make please
Put them on their knee
We seize the opportunities for our families to make Gs
Straight from the gangsta town
Kingston, Jamaica, where we hold it down
Fools get killed for the chi-ching sound
Ain't got time to be fucking around
Cause only the strong will survive the streets
Don't fuck around cause the dogs must eat
Punks get fucked up on my beat
Beenie puts it down with the blue steel heat
Gangsta been through lot of wars
Most of my niggas live behind bars
So I'm telling you so-called stars
Don't come around in your luxury cars
Fool, I swear you must be flakin
Come around tellin cats what you're making
Showing off jewels like they can't be taken
You must be mistaken
Gimme dat!
[Chorus:]
We squeeze and make cheese
Bu'n my enemy
Cats freeze and beg please
Put them on their knee
We seize the opportunities for our families to make Gs
Bu'n the wannabes
We squeeze and make cheese
Bu'n my enemy
Cats freeze and make please
Put them on their knee
We seize the opportunities for our families to make G's
Well we going straight to your cranium
From the sanitarium
Coming to you heavy like I'm powered by uranium
Unleash my serium
On a whole stadium
And wild chickenhead getting high from avilium
It's like, it's like shit's getting serious
Cats getting personal
Actin all precarious
Niggas from various
Crews get delirious
Wonderin if I'm a Gemini or Sagittarius
Dog this is hideous
By the way I'm curious
I moved along so why you getting furious
Could it be the Grammy tingwhy they are malicing
Or is it because I link with Dave Kelly why them panicking
While I'm rocking it
Beenie Man locking it
You bitchin like a bitch
Fool, put a sock in it
Rude boy cockin it
Hustler stockin it
Anywhere I'm playin at
Ladies will be flockin it
[Chorus:]
We squeeze and make cheese
Bu'n my enemy
Cats freeze and beg please
Put them on their knee
We seize the opportunities for our families to make Gs
Bu'n the wannabes
We squeeze and make cheese
Bu'n my enemy
Cats freeze and make please
Put them on their knee
We seize the opportunities for our families to make Gs
Straight from the gangsta town
Kingston, Jamaica, where we hold it down
Fools get killed for the chi-ching sound
Ain't got time to be fucking around
Cause only the strong will survive the streets
Don't fuck around cause the dogs must eat
Punks get fucked up on my beat
Beenie puts it down with the blue steel heat
Gangsta been through lot of wars
Most of my niggas live behind bars
So I'm telling you so-called stars
Don't come around in your luxury cars
Fool, I swear you must be flakin
Come around tellin cats what you're making
Showing off jewels like they can't be taken
You must be mistaken
Gimme dat!
[Chorus:]
We squeeze and make cheese
Bu'n my enemy
Cats freeze and beg please
Put them on their knee
We seize the opportunities for our families to make Gs
Bu'n the wannabes
We squeeze and make cheese
Bu'n my enemy
Cats freeze and make please
Put them on their knee
We seize the opportunities for our families to make Gs
