A subliminal diss to the YMCMB crew. Drake, Lil Wayne and Birdman. While they’re cliche rapping about their dreams – it’s Pushas reality. With a reference to 50 birds, he creates a homophone;

  • He has 50 birds – commonly known as kilo’s of cocaine stashed out of sight.

  • Shot at Birdman. There’s 50 others just like him rapping about their dreams, but once again – it’s Pusha’s reality.

Double Entendre:

  • When Kanye takes a break (hiatus) from rapping or producing with G.O.O.D music crew, Pusha isn’t going to be affected. He’ll just go back to the highway of selling drugs. In addition, alot of his critics have said “He couldn’t sell a record without Kanye West” – well he doesn’t need Kanye when he’s going diamond on his blocka!

Furthermore, the batter refers to cooking a recipe, referring to crack cocaine. Also sounds very similar to ‘high yay’, or good quality cocaine.

  • If Kanye wants to become ‘high ‘Ye’ Push will have the drugs necessary to give him a great high.

  1. When you’re cooking crack the cocaine/baking soda mixture dries up into harder crack rocks, much like cement dries up hard after it’s mixed and laid.

  2. He was heavily in the coke game at one point, which everyone knows. But because of that now that is built (cemented) into his image as an artist. Everyone did, does, and will always refer to him as a drug lord

He keeps cocaine (white) in his trunk. In case he gets pulled over by a cop, he keeps the trunk locked so that the police wont be able to search it. Maybe he learnt that trick from Jay-Z’s 99 Problems:

Well, my glove compartment is locked, so is the trunk in the back
And I know my rights, so you gon' need a warrant for that

They even sold drugs to their own relatives. It’s amazing how people will let friends and family screw up their lives for a small profit off of slangin' ‘caine.

Sounds like No Malice didn’t heed Biggie’s Seventh Crack Commandment:

7: this rule is so underrated
Keep your family and business completely separated
Money and blood don’t mix like 2 dicks and no bitch
Find yourself in serious shit

No Malice used to go by the name Malice, which he got rid of when he found religion.
In Pusha T’s “Blow”, No Malice’s brother and rap partner explains Malice’s change and raps about the type of life the duo used to live:

Malice found religion, Tony found prison
I’m just tryna find my way out this fucking kitchen

He now prays to God that he’s forgiven for all the crimes he committed before becoming a born-again Christian.
