Braille - Main Squeeze Lyrics
Lyrics
Everything's gonna be alright, ask Alicia, my girl is a queen like Latifah, nice to meet ya, I'm not a creeper, so if I dance in your radius I'm not trying to freak ya, I don't live single, I mingle with the ring on, tied the knot in 02' until infinity beyond, I'm light years ahead of you player, I don't play games, I won't take back my words like it's my last name, innocent until proven, word to Chief Wiggum, call my raps Sugar Smacks and all ya'll Dig Em', the track gets composed on the MP, nobody seeing this, who's on the boards, check the fingerprints, 88 keys drop the 808 bass, cause it's 2008 and I got something to say, hey rappers, hey, hey, hey, hey, judgment day, BAD NEWS
Chorus:
Are you my main squeeze?
Are you my main squeeze?
Are you my main squeeze?
Are you my main squeeze?
I wanna squeeze you, I wanna hold you tight, that's what I want to do, I'm not a drinking man, I'm more like a thinking man, I think out loud they say, "Boy watch your mouth!", yo man if you got something to say, let it out, don't hold your breath, it's like hey, the world should know this and also take notice that I'm not afraid to get on stage and share emotions, the more I put in it the harder I rock, and the harder I rock the harder they jock, radio disk jockeys on their high horses, whipping the listeners, keep running the same tracks, the playlist is more like a paylist, but my songs are on from DJs who only play favorites
I wanna squeeze you, I wanna hold you tight, that's what I want to do

Main Squeeze
Meaning & Inspiration
Released on April 15, 2008, as part of Braille’s album *The IV Edition*, "Main Squeeze" offers far more than a simple hip-hop track; it’s a profound exploration of commitment, integrity, and authenticity, wrapped in an engaging and relatable narrative. The song immediately anchors itself in the rock-solid foundation of a lifelong partnership, a theme Braille articulates with striking clarity and devotion. He speaks of tying the knot "in 02' until infinity beyond," a declaration that resonates deeply with the biblical understanding of marriage as a covenant. This isn't just a fleeting promise but an enduring bond, echoing Genesis 2:24 where a man and woman become "one flesh," and the New Testament's call for husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church (Ephesians 5:25). The direct question in the chorus, "Are you my main squeeze?", becomes a tender, repeated affirmation of this singular devotion, identifying the cherished partner as the central focus of his world, aligning with the counsel in Proverbs 18:22 that finding a wife is finding a good thing and obtaining favor from the Lord.
Beyond the celebration of marital love, "Main Squeeze" expands to champion a broader commitment to truth and steadfastness in all aspects of life. Braille confidently asserts, "I won't take back my words like it's my last name," a powerful testament to integrity that finds its parallel in Scripture's emphasis on honesty and keeping one's word. Matthew 5:37 teaches us that our "yes should be yes, and your no should be no," a principle of unwavering veracity that Braille embodies. He contrasts himself with common indulgences, stating, "I'm not a drinking man, I'm more like a thinking man," portraying a conscious choice for self-control and thoughtful reflection, virtues explicitly encouraged in Galatians 5:22-23 through the fruit of the Spirit, including self-control. This isn't merely a personal preference but a deliberate positioning of his character and artistic output, choosing substance over superficiality. His willingness to "get on stage and share emotions" also highlights an authenticity that many shy away from, reflecting a transparency that honors God in revealing one's true self, as admonished in Ephesians 4:15 to speak the truth in love.
The song further delves into a critique of the prevailing culture within the music industry, where "radio disk jockeys on their high horses... keep running the same tracks, the playlist is more like a paylist." Here, Braille subtly challenges the commercialism and compromise that can pervade creative spaces, advocating instead for genuine connection and merit-based appreciation for music. This resonates with a biblical call to not conform to the patterns of this world but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds (Romans 12:2), choosing principles over profit. His declaration that his "songs are on from DJs who only play favorites" underscores a desire for art that moves people genuinely, rather than being dictated by monetary incentives. Even the line "judgment day, BAD NEWS" can be interpreted not just as a hip-hop boast but as a prophetic warning, a call to accountability for those who prioritize fleeting gains over eternal values, reminding us that every word and action carries weight before a righteous judge (Matthew 12:36-37). "Main Squeeze," therefore, is an inspiring anthem for living a life deeply rooted in covenant, integrity, and authentic expression, courageously standing apart from the world's dictates and demonstrating that a godly life is not only attainable but profoundly fulfilling and influential.
