[Intro: Bangladesh]
I see you supplying the strip
I'm supplyin' the hits
These niggas been fiendin' for this shit
Push!
[Verse 1]
In one short year, I've turned dreams to nightmares (Hah)
Let the gods of the game know I'm right here (Bangladesh)
To you new muthafuckas, Buzz Lightyears
Ahead of y'all, so be careful on that tightrope (Yeahh)
I inspire all the rappers that you might quote (What?)
Lookin' down on you niggas like white folks (Haha)
You're entitled to believe all your high hopes (Uh huh)
When you can fool anybody with the right hoax (Who run it?)
Let you sing to 'em, emotionally cling to 'em
With no pillow, you just sellin' a dream to 'em (Wake up, niggas)
Weakest niggas throwin' shots, I just lean through 'em (Blap)
I just laugh at 'em, fuck is he doin'? (Hahaha)
[Chorus]
I just wanna flip it (Hah)
I just wanna sell it (Hah)
I just wanna flip it (Hah)
I just wanna sell it (Yeahh)
I just wanna flip it (Yeahh)
I just wanna sell it (Yeahhh)
It's so obvious in my clothes you could smell it
[Verse 2]
Take a glimpse of my life as I walk through it (My jeans is heavy)
Powder everywhere, like I drug the chalk through it (Forty racks in my pocket)
Catty-corner penthouse as I park-view it (We scatter big boy rise, nigga)
Hit the jackpot; bulls-eye, dart through it
Music; I talk through it, it's an art to it (Tell your bitch to come in)
Let the critics praise, let the charts do it
As I burn through this money, no thought to it (What'chu lookin' at?)
80 cents could save a child, but I ain't opt to it
I just shop through it; cook and chop to it
Move Heavy D (Dope boy shit); I should wop to it
We got our own thing; drop the top to it (Wooo)
This is block music; Waka Flock to it (Push)
[Chorus]
I just wanna flip it
I just wanna sell it (Yeahh)
I just wanna flip it (Flip it)
I just wanna sell it (Sell it)
I just wanna flip it
I just wanna sell it
It's so obvious in my clothes you could smell it
[Verse 3]
I'm so raw, runnin' from the law
A nigga got rich from what you snort through a straw (We supply the block)
Here to raise the bar; chain, no flaws
Say it's whiplash when I let my neck thaw
In that two-door, no rims on the car
The hate is so thick, you can cut it with a saw
See what I saw, the best gettin' better (Dope man, dope man)
Look, but can't touch; I'm a muthafuckin' leper
Q-dog steppa, Stomp The Yard better
K-I-L; I'm just waiting on a letter
Oh, there it is; let the triple beam measure
Re-Up is the gang and we bettin' whatever (Yeahhh)
[Chorus]
I just wanna flip it (Push)
I just wanna sell it
I just wanna flip it (Hah)
I just wanna sell it (Hah)
I just wanna flip it (Yeahh)
I just wanna sell it (What?)
It's so obvious in my clothes you could smell it
[Outro: Bangladesh]
Push, you need a hit, nigga, come see me
Bangladesh
Dope man, dope man
Pusha T
Got it for cheap
This is in reference to UNICEF USA “Save A Child” ad campaigns.
There’s a (complicated) history of white Americans looking down on Americans of other ethnicities, especially blacks, from their seat of delusional racial or ethnic superiority.
The Antebellum slave era, the Jim Crow era, and the “Post-racial Era” have all had their white bigots.
In the olden days (you can check The Bible), people with the disease called Leprosy, which causes skin sores, nerve damage, and muscle weakness that gets worse over time. People with Leprosy used to be chastised and mocked by being called lepers because people believed that God was punishing Lepers. People also never touched lepers because they were afraid that they might too contract Leprosy if they touched a leper.
A shot to the former member of GOOD Music, Consequence, who has been dissing Pusha (most notably on The Plagurist Society (Pusha T Diss)), claiming he has been biting his lyrics. Pusha doesn’t want to stoop down to Cons level, as Cons has also been dissing GOOD founder Kanye West
A year ago (September 2010), Pusha changed the game by signing to Kanye’s G.O.O.D. Music label.
He was also featured on numerous GOOD Friday tracks, and on two songs from ‘Ye’s fifth album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
In March 2011, he released his acclaimed Fear of God mixtape.
On November 8th, 2011, Pusha released Fear of God II, his commerical debut.
Push!
Buzz Lightyear, a character from the Toy Story franchise was new to Andy’s toys. He started off arrogant and egotistical, but eventually became more sensible and mare a good partner alongside Woody.
Some will think this is a shot at Drake, or Ambassador Rick (who actually dissed Pusha in a song).
Pusha’s reminding listeners that although he’s new as a solo artist, his time as one half of The Clipse grants him veteran status.
Worth noting that the flow and rhyme scheme vaguely resemble both Ye and Jay’s verses on So Appalled.
Might not be a coincidence because Pusha was also featured on that song and this song is also called So Obvious.
There are two meanings for this line:
The “K-I-L” sets up the line like Push is going to spell “kill”, and then he exclaims “oh” as if he found the “L”,
The “K-I-L” is finished by “O” (Oh) to spell “kilo” – of course in reference to cocaine – which is then confirmed by the “triple beam measure” lyric.
