Well you done know
When gangsta touch the street

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!
