Pushin’ - Intellectual

[Intro]

Twenty-ten

Keep pushin'

Keep pushin' pushin'

Knocksteady

Yes sir

[Verse 1]

In 19-86 mama pushed me out

Every venue in the country wanna book me now

A lot of players in my kingdom wanna put me down

Coming at me sideways, there's rooks around me, ah

Push forward but the past tries to pull me back

Playing tug-o-war like a kid at summer camp

It's like the homies are still afraid to become a man

Stuck in the same spot like they doing the running man

I'm runnin' marathons, I don't carry batons

After I win a race, I just carry on

Ain't got time to look inside of my trophy case

I got my poker face on keeping Kobe's pace

I know I look crazy, 'cause I push daily

And I'll keep pushin' 'til I push daisies

Wide awake like a nocturnal bush baby

Tryna make it out but won't ever forget the hood made me

[Chorus]

See the hustlers of the world tryna make that sale

Keep pushin' pushin' never gon' look back

Get your pocketbooks out I gotta story to tell

Keep pushin' pushin' gettin' real good at that

No matter where you are

Pushin' pushin' trynna get through

Gotta make moves I'm breaking the walls down

It won't be long now

[Verse 2]

My momma and my daddy pushin'

They were mad persistant

But never had a chance to rest up on that padded cushion

They put in long hours, to say this is all ours

I swear I won't let their fruits of labor go sour

Got the heart of a lion, swear I was part of the mayans

Got my enemies begging me to start an alliance

They see what I'm doing, they want a piece of it

But i won't give it up without a fight

300

I'm taking what's mine

You take what's yours

It's in my bloodline, to play this blood sport

I get my work-horse, fit for the Kentucky Derby

Never afraid to get my hands, or my chucks dirty

Imma hustler all I need's a dollar and I turn it

To a hundred I'll push a man like I was Curtis

Even if all the elevators are out of service

I take the stairs to the top ike the building burning
