Push also uses this platform to send shots at the YMCMB crew, continuing the beef that had previously reached a boiling point with Pusha’s Exodus 23:1 and Lil Wayne’s response, Goulish (Pusha T Diss).

He draws up an image of an old western gun duel. Two men would line up back to back, walk ten steps away from each other, turn around (or make a U-Turn…) and then open fire at the other person. Only the best survive.

By saying that death is just a U-Turn away, Pusha’s saying he would have to make a complete reversal from the direction he’s heading in right now, which is further and further into stardom

Pusha T structures these lines to refer to him and NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III (RG3):

  • Push is “up and running” in terms of his career, and he’s blowing outrageous amounts of money and getting it in with White chicks. .

  • RG3 is known for his mobility and above average ability to run the ball for a quarterback. He can also blow money because of his job, and he’s currently married to a white girl.

It is interesting to note that “white girl” is also slang for coke, which Pusha notoriously dealed. So, if he says he is running white women, there is a definite alternative meaning (seeing as runner = dealer)
