Pusha T Could Easily Be Your Favorite Conscious Rapper

[Pop123]

[Verse 1: Pusha T]
America, you need a miracle
Beyond spiritual
I need a realer view
I hold a mirror to it
These ain’t new problems, they just old ways
I see one time turn sunshine into Freddie Gray
Just another nikka dead, just another nikka dead
Send another to the FEDs, send another to the FEDs
Not guilty, still I’m filthy
In FOX eyes, we the dark side
So they tell you lies
Through a TV, C-N-B-C
C-N-N, Don Lemon, no Kweli when you meet me
In order to be me
You gotta see what Chief Keef see
Brenda’s baby next door to the candy lady
Same project as Candy Man where they still doing hand-in-hands
Sunday to Sunday, pastor only want one day
Grandma praying someday
But God can’t hear it over gun play
Woo! Still a target, but the badge is the new noose
Yeah, we all see it, but cellphones ain’t enough proof
So we still lose

[Hook: Jill Scott]
I say hey, sunshine
Oh how the day can be so long
I say hey, sunshine
Oh how the day can be so long

[Verse 2: Pusha T]
I don’t got no march in me, I can’t turn the other cheek
While they testing your patience, they just testing my reach
Funeral flowers, every 28 hours
Being laid over ours
Sworn to protect and serve, but who really got the power?
Looking over their allowances
Building prisons where the mountains is
Laptops is for the county kids
Metal detectors is where ours is
They’ll never re-write this, like they re-wrote history
The fact that the Statue of Liberty was black is a goddamn mystery
And so it goes, every truth don’t get told
All these cops get cleared, and lives are stole
Every goose don’t lay gold whoa
Just another nikka dead, just another nikka dead
Send another to the FEDs, send another to the FEDs
They call in the National Guard
Public Enemy, I am Chuck D
Flavor Flav in Louis V, but I’m Huey P
Woo! The new elite, it’s either you or me
Let the sunshine, cause their dark clouds try to ruin me

Why would he throw in CNBC tho? Aside from that being the only thing I watch on tv besides ESPN, the shyt ain't gotta nothing to do with politics or what he's talking about, lol. I think he meant MSNBC

 

[Mortal1]

Glad someone pointed it out both of these songs he's going outside of his comfort zone a bit and offering his perspective on things he's sees in his life. I really liked his perspective on typical subjects conscious rappers tend to focus on.

 

[Grizzly]

You right but he said this ep was for his core fanbase...he said he's gonna step more out of his comfort zone on "King Push" so we'll see

 

[muzikfrk75]

I'll say the same thing I said about Ross.

Ferguson changed lives, brehs.

 

[Ghpstface]

just like Lupe could be the best gangsta rapper if he wanted to be

 

[Just Jimmy]

Malice taught him

Rappers is talking to me as if
We in the same boat I tell them quick no I move Coke!
And you and I don't share no common bond,
So forgive me if I don't recieve you with open arms
It shames me to no end,
To feed poison to those who could very well be my kin
But where there's demand, someone will supply
So I feed them their needs at the same time cry
Yes it pains me to see them need this
All of them lost souls and I'm their Jesus
Deepest regret and sympathy to the street
I see them pay for they fix when they kids couldn't eat
And with this in mind, I still didn't quit
And that's how I know, that I aint shyt
My heart bleed but that's aside from the fact,
I live from my kids and theirs and them youngins after that

One of my favorite fukkin albums ever, thank you for reminding me to go listen to this shyt

 

[Just Jimmy]

I fukk with his older shyt before he always had another nikkas name in his mouth, as of now he's on the same page as Young Thug to me.. fakkit that makes mediocre music with an occasional banger or 2

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Breh has been rapping about selling dope for decades, but when he dropped these tracks...







Better than plenty of these other dudes who been rapping on "conscious" topics for their entire careers



Am I lying?

Classic contradictory rapper. He don't believe his own words. Pusha is so disappointing. I need those heartfelt malice verses.

 

[desjardins]

Get excited about what a 40 yr old man could be if he stopped focusing on dumb shyt brehs.

 

[SirBiatch]

You're lying.

Let's talk about why this dumb ass bytch just negged me for this thread.

How can anyone not say that this terrible poster isn't the WOAT of this board?

Don't mind him. @The Ruler 09 needs the attention. You know how many random ass negs I've ignored from this basketcase cac?

definitely top 5 woat poster running with a top 5 woat e-crew

 

[wingstop]

Man it was so shocking to find out Malice was nicer all along. Pusha has so much potential but dude wants to be a middle aged man rapping about selling cocaine for the rest of his life

the last time malice was nicer than pusha was on lord willin. After that pusha has been nicer, especially on Hell hath no fury. He sounded like he was possessed by biggie's ghost on that
