Tzachas (Greek: Τζαχᾶς, Tzachas), also known as Chaka Bey (Turkish: Çaka Bey) or Emmir Chaka of Smyrna, was an 11th-century Seljuk Turkish emir who ruled an independent state based in Smyrna (present day Izmir).
Chaka was taken as a prisoner during a war with the Byzantine Empire by Emperor Nicephorus III Botaneiates. The emperor took an interest in the youth and brought him to live in the palace. He was granted the title of protonobilissimus.
After Alexios I Komnenos became the Byzantine Emperor, Chaka returned to Anatolia and began a war against the Byzantines. In 1081, Chaka conquered several cities on the Aegean coast of Anatolia, including Smyrna also islands of Samos and Rhodes. Intent upon expanding his power, he ordered the construction of a fleet at the shipyards of Smyrna and Ephesus. This fleet, which consisted of 33 sail ships and 17 oar ships, was the first Anatolian Turkish navy.
Chaka's fleet conquered Lesbos (1089) and Chios (1090), before defeating the Byzantine fleet under Niketas Kastamonites near the Koyun Islands off Chios on 19 May 1090. In 1091, his fleet conquered the islands of Samos and Rhodes, but also suffered a crushing defeat in the Sea of Marmara to Constantine Dalassenos, undoing much of his previous successes. Dalassenos and John Doukas then defeated Chaka again in 1092, destroyed his fleet and recovered all the islands he had captured.

Who is the person that everyone knows?
She seems to live her life so naturally
An angel in the guise of something else
What lies behind those eyes in mystery?
A wealth of secrets
A light in a dream
I'd like to know what they mean
A haunted voice from a ghost like face
I hope and pray that it won't end
The light is fading you're not the one in your eyes
The others follow in your disguise
Chorus
Who is the person that everyone knows?
She seems to live her life so naturally
An angel in the guise of something else
What lies behind those eyes in mystery?
A wealth of secrets
A light in a dream
- Aiiyo son, it seems like, everyday
more and more people begin to get more foul
Uhn, now dig.
Association breed assimilation
Let me tell you what happened
I'm driving the other night, these two faggots pull me over
Talkin bout I got a broken taillight
They got a broken headlight
They shake me down, they tellin me
that they gon' come and see me tomorrow and have somethin for them
- Word, so what up?
So now I got somethin for them
(Verse One)
Who's the real criminals, take a look behind the scenes
Corruption and greed is commonplace routine
Guess it pays in many ways to have a few schemes
Shit, I know model citizens that ain't squeaky clean
You got dirty politicians, dirty judges and dirty cops
Everyone's on the take, the hood's filled with dirty blocks
How we gonna save the community, they worse than us
It's like a curse for us, police be the first to bust
Think about it, that RICO shits no fuckin joke
For them the evidence'll vanish in a puff of smoke
I been observant, I'll never be subservient
I guess you get what you deserve in this
From project hallways to courthouse hallways
Some prevail, most see jail, this happens always
Speed on, before you get peed on
All I need is more power, then I'ma put the squeeze on
(Hook)
I want more power, I'm gainin more troops
I'm gaining more respect 'cause I want more juice
The most influential men, got influential friends
And I'ma put the squeeze on all of 'em
I watched y'all get fat, now I want my share
What you ain't got it all? Then I want what's there
The most influential men, got influential friends
And I'ma put the squeeze on all of 'em
(Primo scratches)
"They wanna see the God catch an L it's all a Set Up" -> Guru
"It's a Daily Operation" -> Guru
"You know me son, show respect" -> Steele
"They wanna see the God catch an L it's all a Set Up" -> Guru
The squeeze.
(Verse Two)
Believe me son, I'ma put the squeeze on 'em
Croocked cats, that confiscate the gats they keepin 'em
Hustler's Convention every night at D&D;
Had chicks on the strip with Trace in eighty-three
It's nothin, that why I know I'm on top
And I'ma stay here 'till I'm paid and owe nothin
They gon' take they cut, so why shouldn't I
Eliminate the middlemen, who thought they could die
Go overseas, make G's and bring it back to the streets
A never-ending saga when I rap to these beats
As the minutes go by, you 'bout to get it, know why?
I'm already in too deep, so forget it, don't try
Cause all you gonna find is sufferin and pain
I had enough of you man, I'm 'bout to fuck up your plan
So speed on, before you get peed on
All I need is more power, then I'ma put the squeeze on
(Hook)
(Primo scratches)
"They wanna see the God catch an L it's all a Set Up" -> Guru
Eran tiempos para enloquecer
Luego un día todo cambió
El espejo en la pared
El reflejo del ayer
Cualquier pasado fue mejor
La sonrisa se empezó a torcer
Signo de interrogación
Hoy despierto hasta las seis
Soy capaz de no volver
Tengo intacta la ilusión
Tú sigue así
Sigue bailándome
Sigue mintiéndote
Sigue así
Cuéntame a mí
Qué está pasándote
Qué estás buscando aquí
Este es tu fin!
Tú sigue así
Sigue bailándome
Sigue mintiéndote
Sigue así
Cuéntame a mí
Qué está pasándote
Qué estás buscando aquí
Si has llegado al fin
Voy vestido para ser el rey
Con trocitos de mi ayer
No me puedes conocer
Interpreto este papel
Que siga el circo su función
[2 Hats]
My dealers paranoid, I don't blame him for being cautious
There's been to many busts, it's enough to make you nauseus
I thought about the probem so I came up with a plan
Disguise myself as someone else to try to fool the man
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
I'd dress up like the Krankies if it guaranteed a weed supply
Lawyer, Sailor, who can deny?
A disguise is necessary when you wanna get high.
[Adam]
My dealers advice is don't wear a trackie
When I'm coming round to buy my wacky baccy
I goes round my dealers in a rugby kit
I know that he's got bud, he's got the best shit
Hears a chopper above and I'm driving down Pill
It's like Goodfellas and I'm like Henry Hill
I drops off the car and I takes the bus
To avoid detection so I won't get sussed
[CHORUS]
Walls don't have ears, they got eyes so I wears a disguise
when I get's my supplies
Walls don't have ears, they got eyes so I wears a disguise
when I get's my supplies
[Billy]
Dealers being watched, I'm sure I'm being tailed
Supplier further up the chain has just been jailed
Heard the phones are tapped, like 1984
They listen in when the trigger word is 'draw'
If you wanna score you gotta be discrete
Got the drayless code, fill your message with text speak
Give it a few weeks, keep your head down low
It'll be back to normal and we'll all have blow
[2 Hats]
Change of clothes and a fake moustache
All this bubble for a lump of hash
I've had to change my car at least 3 times
Arriving with shopping to hide my dealers crimes
Last week high vis and my brothers hard hat
The week before, returning with a lost cat
What's coming next an insurance broker?
I haven't got a suit I'm just a draw smoker
[CHORUS]
[Xain]
My dealers advice is to wear a disguise
It's all about the element of suprise
So I went fancy dress, a cowboy from the wild west
Dressed up like a tree to avoid CCTV
With a stethascope, I'm dressed up like a Quak
When I get there my dealers had a heart attack
So I tried CPR but his life was aborted
And I was gutted cos I didn't get sorted
[Mike]
I got a pocket full of this and a bagful of the other
So I put on a disguise, make my journey undercover
I might be a lawyer or even a physician
If you recognise me you got 20/20 vision
I sometimes wear a monacle to throw 'em off guard
I discard my tracksuit to look less hard
I heard my dealers hot from some of my spas
So I wears a false beard and I'm switching cars
[2 Hats]
I'm given 20 note to get a half a Q
My dealers under surveilance and I dunno what to do
Can't think of goin' elsewhere because he'll break both legs
Then it's sympathy and tea but last months dregs
Se você pretende sustentar opinião
E discutir por discutir
Só pra ganhar a discussão
Eu lhe asseguro, pode crer
Que quando fala o coração
Às vezes é melhor perder
Do que ganhar, você vai ver
Já percebi a confusão
Você quer ver prevalecer
A opinião sobre a razão
Não pode ser, não pode ser
Pra que trocar o sim por não
Se o resultado é solidão
Em vez de amor, uma saudade
Vai dizer quem tem razão
Disguise as disguised as me
What I see
Disguise as disguised as me
What I say?
I wasn't there
So I didn't play inside it
I wasn't there
So I didn't play outside it
Have you ever felt some kind of emptiness inside
You will never measure up, to those people you
Must be strong, can't show them that you're weak
Have you ever told someone something
That's far from the truth
Let them know that you're okay
Just to make them stop
All the wondering, and questions they may have
I'm okay, I really am now
Just needed some time, to figure things out
Not telling lies, I'll be honest with you
Still we don't know what's yet to come
Have you ever seen your face,
In a mirror there's a smile
But inside you're just a mess,
You feel far from good
Need to hide, 'cos they'd never understand
Have you ever had this wish, of being
Somewhere else
To let go of your disguise, all your worries too
And from that moment, then you see things clear
I'm okay, I really am now
Just needed some time, to figure things out
Not telling lies, I'll be honest with you
Still we don't know what's yet to come
Are you waiting for that day when your pain will disappear?
When you know that it's not true what they say about you?
Couldn't care less 'bout the things surrounding you
Ignoring all the voices from my wall
I'm okay, I really am now
Just needed some time
To figure things out
Not telling lies
I'll be honest with you
Still we don't know
What's yet to come
I'm okay, I really am now
Just needed some time
To figure things out
Not telling lies
I'll be honest with you
Still we don't know
What's yet to come
Still we don't know
One life to live so Ima live it
One chance to give so Ima give it
All that I have with no limit
We made it this far but it's only the beginning
Got my eyes set strictly on the prizes
Standing in my own two shoes my whole life is
Easier said than done but I survived it
Aim for the stars dream big and don't hide it
I got my head up in the clouds now
I'm so high I'm never coming down
I like living up here, watching life from the sky
Everything becomes clear and as the mist rises
I can see horizons a new day has dawned
I'm just happy to be alive Ima make it to the top
if not I'll die trying If I'm lyin' watch my nose grow, Barbara Streisand .
I got my head up in the clouds now
I'm so high I'm never coming down
I like living up here, watching life from the sky everything becomes clear
When life is boring
Write your own story
In skies you're soaring
When life is surreal
Put on your disguise
And just live in the sky
Just live in the sky
I've seen things I just can't explain
I've seen the fire and I've seen the rain
I've been places, and asked questions
But was told that my answers were blown in the wind
So now I followed the purple haze
All the way through the everglades
I broke on through to the other side
Just to find myself building castles in the sky
And as I rise up I can see reality below me
Floating on a dream through the house of the holy
Hands clinched tight praying death come slowly
Cause life's too short to give up what you're holding
Got my head up in the clouds now
I'm so high I'm never coming down
I like living up here, watching life from the sky everything becomes clear
When life is boring
Write your own story
In skies you're soaring
When life is surreal
Put on your disguise
And just live in the sky

Don't question who you are
Never compromise
Your worries and your own lies
Never fear in disguise
Don't question who you are
Never compromise
Your worries and your own lies
The only vision I had in my mind,
Was indecision blocking me from stopping time,
My watch was wrong my time had gone.
Take a break now from asking me,
Why even waring masks was not enough to hide,
Just don't be fooled by my disguise.
I tell you something, my halo has gone.
Left with nothing, this sorrow goes on.
A broken arrow has pierced through my skin,
It's time to give in.
The only mission we undertook,
Right was making honest lovers join their evil side,
And shoot each other in their backs.
Innocent hearts and innocent minds,
Are easy targets angels prey upon at night,
So don't be fooled by their disguise.
I tell you something, my halo has gone.
Left with nothing, this sorrow goes on.
A broken arrow has pierced through my skin,
It's time to give in.
Don't get caught in the middle,
'Cause something will swallow you.
If you thought it was simple,
Well some things are hard to do.
If you're feeling at ease,
It's 'cause somebody believes in you,
Because somebody believes in you.
I tell you something, my halo has gone.
Left with nothing, this sorrow goes on.
A broken arrow has pierced through my skin,
every chance there is
any time we try
it always gets so fucking fucked up
thanks to those fucking guys
they try to keep us down
and tied into their chairs
they are hidden so far away
to avoid our stares
and i fucking hate those guys
with their stupid shit
and if i ever find those guys
that is fucking it
they try to keep us bored
and cut off all our hair
i just wanna kick those guys
down the fucking stairs
i fucking hate those guys
you know this to be true
i don't think there's anybody
i'll hate as much as you
work for them all day
i fucking hate those guys
i just want them all to know
WHAT'S UNDERNEATH MY CLOTHES
DONT YOU WANNA KNOW
PINK, WHITE, BLUE, RED
TAKE YOUR PICK LET YOUR IMAGINATION FLOW
FREEDOM IS WHAT EVERYBODY NEEDS
BUT I'VE ALREADY GOT MUCH OF THAT
UNDER MY SLEEVES
I'VE GOT A POCKET FULL OF SHOOTING STARS
AND ANOTHER FULL OF LOVE
I'VE GOT STRENGTH LIKE I HAVE NEVER BEFORE
AND I'M READY TO EXPLORE
YOU CAN TAKE A HINT FROM ME
EVALUATE AND RECOGNIZE
LET LOOSE OF YOUR SPIRITUALITY
BREATHE IN AND LET IT OUT LOUD
I'M JUST TOO SEXY FOR YOUR DRUGS, BABY
I'M JUST TOO SEXY FOR YOUR DRUGS, BABY
I'VE GOT A POCKET FULL OF SHOOTING STARS
AND ANOTHER FULL OF LOVE
I'VE GOT STRENGTH LIKE I HAVE NEVER BEFORE
AND I'M READY TO EXPLORE
I'M JUST TOO SEXY FOR YOUR DRUGS, BABY
I'M JUST TOO SEXY FOR YOUR DRUGS, BABY
LET IT GO
LET IT GO
LET IT GO
the six will never leave you jack
the six will never turn their back
the six will never go
the six know that it's now your time
the six want you to go change lives
the six want you to go
vivid thoughts in the dark
fretting what will be out there
peeking cracks of sunlight
teasing him with all it's gentle... foreplay
be a man leaving nothing unsaid
making all who give sight
inhale in turn expel the clarity of panic
this doubt feels so conclusive
a dream that seems elusive
fuck the pressure let's go
the naughty's just too nice
one more time around and jack will leave the six behind
no more foreplay
the six will never leave you jack
the six will never turn their back
the six will never go
the six know that it's now your time
the six want you to go change lives
the six want you to go
coiled for the striking, now penetrate the seal
[Boots Riley:]
This brick
Which is gripped by my fingers
Which shoot out from my hand
Which is fastened to my arm
That meets up with my shoulder
That sits well below my head
That surrounds my brain
Which is tied up with thoughts of resentment, fear, and loathing
Because of your using me in your road to wealth and power
Will crash through your picture window and kill you
We gon' put you in the squeeze
We gon' put you in the squeeze
[Boots Riley:]
The city is a planet of glass and granite
And it's ran by some masters of mack mechanics
We got schools where the facts are banished
We got scams where your stacks'll vanish
And the hospitals is gon cost you racks so panic
All the gangsters throw your triggers up
All the stoners throw your flickers up
All the drunks throw your liquor up
All the bank tellers stick 'em up
Teach them babies how to grip a buck
When this hits the streets it's thunder with thesis
We'll show you where the beast is
Make sure it deceases
They smolder with speeches
We shoulder the leeches
Call off the polices
This ain't where the thief is
Janitors, work all night like Dracula
Burger flippers grab your spatulas
Managers, get your Acuras
Big bosses guard your sack because
We'll put 'em in the squeeze
Squ-squ-squ-squ-squeeze
Squ-squ-squ-squ
We gon' put you in the squeeze
Squ-squ-squ-squ-squeeze
We gon' put you in the
We gon' put you in the
[Boots Riley:]
World poverty has just gone platinum
Unemployment checks need to come with a gat in em
Chains and leather whips
Slave masters still crackin' em
This is where I'm scattin' from
Listen to the battle drum
We all got our shackles on
Ladies shoot your deuce-deuces
Bankers tip your masseuses
Wardens tighten up your nooses
Muthafuckas make noise if you bought your clothes boosted
The earth is composed of space and atoms
And controlled by some pimps without Stacy Adams
But one day they're gon taste the cannon
When the people rise up
And make them muthafuckas face the dragon
Mercenaries show your paychecks
Homeless folks show your blankets
Rich folks throw your banquets
Tell officials what to say next
'Cause they won't be at ease
When we put 'em in the squeeze
Squ-squ-squ-squ
We gon' put you in the squeeze
Squ-squ-squ-squ
We gon' put you in the squeeze
Squ-squ-squ-squ
Yeah, we gon' put you in the squeeze
'Cause they vote with their guns
