Deal fell, Tony saved us
After blowing up, Al Qaeda

from Pusha T – Revolution Lyrics on Rap Genius

Double entendre;

• Tony Gonzales, former manager of Clipse was jailed in early 2010, a 32 years for apparently leading a 10 million dollar drug ring. Push is implying the deal fell through and Tony took the fall — saving him and No Malice from certain jail time.

• In addition this refers to Tony saving them from Jive records, which was reconstructed after long time CEO Barry Weiss left the label. With their record deal falling through.

Furthermore, he uses simple pause stop flow & added homophones;

Blowing up:

• Refers to finally making it big, Push had just got signed to Kanye Wests G.O.O.D Music Label.

• Refers to blow, aka cocaine

Tony

• Refers to Tony Gonzales. As seen above.

• Refers to cocaine aka Tony Montana, which they fell back on when their record deal with Jive fell through.
