Push
Mac Graham Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something from a magazine
And I can feel you watching me tonight
You don't care when people stare
At your makeup and your hair
It took you all day to get it right
So tell me, do you think you're sexy?
Go on, go on.
Address me,
With your eyes undress me
And press against me
Come and show me…
Chorus
On the Dance floor in the spotlight
Everybody's watching as you work it
You're on fire
Give it to me
Let me see you PUSH
Push it when you're pushin' baby x4
When the beat drops don't stop
Let me feel your body rock
Every trick is watching you tonight
Girl enough with sexy eyes
Let me see you move them thighs
Every inch of you is out of sight
I know what you're drinking (desire and sex)
And your friends know what I'm thinking (desire and sex)
Tell them leave your ass alone,
I'll call Curtis and Jerome
Because I got friends too, we like to party
Lawdy-dawdy work that body
Chorus (out)
In this song, Mac Graham sings about a girl who catches his eye on the dance floor. He describes her as a "green queen on the scene," someone who looks like she stepped right out of a magazine. Despite all the attention she's getting for her makeup and hair, the girl seems focused on Mac, and he's eager to engage with her. He asks if she thinks she's sexy, and if she wants to "sex" him, encouraging her to undress him with her eyes, and get as physically close to him as possible. While the girl is dancing, Mac encourages her to keep pushing herself to the limit so he can see every inch of her in motion.
The song has a very clear theme of sexual attraction, with Mac's lyrics dripping with desire and yearning. He talks about the girl's body in graphic detail, from her thighs to her eyes, and encourages her to keep pushing herself physically so he can get a better look. It's a somewhat overtly sexual song, although there's a playfulness to the lyrics that prevents it from coming off as too crude. Overall, "Push" is a song about two people experiencing a physical attraction that borders on obsession, with one partner looking on in awe as the other dances and moves in increasingly provocative ways.
