Wear a thong, g-code
Gettin' bent off that liquor
Till our colons thick and old
Stay trippin' on them hoes...we be illin'
And them whores doin' shows...top billin'
Stay packin' fo' fo's...ain't no concealin'
Peoples throwin' those bows....so how you feelin'

But I rock a rhyme that's right on slime, it's N.O.R.E.
(It's N.O.R.E., N.O.R.E.) Bangin' goin' crazy
Bangin' black Mercedes
Why I'm bangin' on them corners
Bangin' all your ladies
And she just wanna ride
Get up in that coupe and slide
Run around the corners lyin'
Say she Bonnie, said I'm Clyde (What?)
But I'm that type of guy
Have yo chicken bakin' pie
And she really wanna fuck me
I can see it in her eye

[Hook 2 x2]

Overall Meaning

The song Push 'Em Up by The Neptunes is an upbeat, high-energy club banger featuring N.O.R.E. The lyrics talk about the wild life of a party-goer, and the world of pimping and hustling. The first hook, sung by Pharrell, asks the listener if they are a pimp, but asserts that no one can put the pimping skills like him. He then proceeds to get the "hoes" up and put them up, with N.O.R.E echoing the sentiment in the second hook. N.O.R.E. drops a couple of verses, telling us about his wild parties, drinking on Old English, and getting intimate with women.


The song is a great example of a hip-hop club banger. It has an infectious beat, perfect for getting the crowd into the groove. The Neptunes were known for their production skills, and this track is no different. Beyond the entertaining lyrics, the way that Pharrell and N.O.R.E's voices interplay is masterful. The hooks are perfectly placed to give the listener a break from the raunchy verses. The song is an ode to the party lifestyle, with N.O.R.E. celebrating his inability to show up on time and bragging about his sexual escapades. The chorus urges the crowd to put their fingers up and get hyped. The message is clear: let's party.
