Click Clack
Pusha Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was taught only reach for the heat if you busting
So when lift this shirt that's the end of discussion
Click clack motherfuckers! I ain't trying to hear nothing!
Click clack motherfuckers! I ain't trying to hear nothing!

When snitch niggaz give police clues to watch
Well I'm a give them faggot niggaz news to watch
My trigger blow niggaz out they shoes and socks

I guarantee I won't miss you if I use the dot
I'm Slim Thugga motherfucker! best respect my G!
Or they gon say they name after R.I.P
How dare you pussy niggaz' tissue slugs bout me
'Cause then I'm a get to show ya how thug I be!
And I don't give a FUCK what set you claim
They got rich niggaz that blow out brains
Just cause you from the projects don't mean you hard
Most of them hoods y'all repping ain't seen you broads!

I was taught only reach for the heat if you busting
So when lift this shirt that's the end of discussion
Click clack motherfuckers! I ain't trying to hear nothing!
Click clack motherfuckers! I ain't trying to hear nothing now!
Don't make me pull it on ya! on ya! on ya! ya hear me?!
Don't make me pull it on ya! on ya! on ya!

Big home, big car, big jewelry
Whispers in the street, all the talk of robbery
Ain't no Quad Studio, Tupac and P
For every watch there's a glock, come shop with me
Hood DVDs the closest you get to TV
BE or MT, the whole world done see me
VH1 Behind the Scenes, there's bout to be a three-peat
So keep on rewinding your part and others try and defeat me
Strap like the movie, better yet the sequel
Strap Before Rap, we'll call that the prequel
I told ya wit the pen, there shall be none equal
But since he ain't write it, that makes him more lethal! UUSSSHH!!

I was taught only reach for the heat if you busting
So when lift this shirt that's the end of discussion
Click clack motherfuckers! I ain't trying to hear nothing!
If you smart you gon hit the ground running and ducking
A lot of rap niggaz be trying to play hard
Knowing damn well that they lying and they fraud
They talk that hard shit when somebody press record
When there's beef in the streets they run to their body guard
I'm still a hood nigga, you can catch me on the block
And when I'm the club you can catch me wit the glock

I know them jackas plotting trying to catch me wit a knot
But we gon see if them laws can come catch me when he's shot

Overall Meaning

Pusha, with his aggressive and confrontational style, presents himself as a true thug who is not afraid to use his weapon against anyone who provokes him. He was taught only to use his gun if he is going to commit murder, so when he lifts his shirt, it means that the person is going to die. The refrain "click clack motherfuckers" emphasizes the sound of the gun, which is symbolic of violence, intimidation and control. He makes it clear that he won't listen to anyone who tries to stop him, and that he will protect himself at all costs.

In the second half of the first verse, Pusha talks about snitches, whom he refers to as "faggot niggaz." He defines his role as the one who eliminates informants and frees himself from legal persecution. He is convinced of his skills as a shooter and promises to take out any target with precision. He asserts his gangsta status, urging listeners to respect him or else they will end up like the deceased. He also criticizes other rappers who pretend to be tough but are actually fake, claiming that most of the hoods they talk about have never seen real violence.

The second verse starts with a boasting of his wealth and lavish possessions, which he claims are the result of his criminal activities. He mentions the infamous 1994 shooting at Quad Studio in which Tupac was ambushed and robbed, implying that he is not afraid of similar attacks because he carries a gun everywhere he goes. He asserts that he has become famous and successful through the distribution of street DVDs and reality shows, adding that he stands out among his peers for being a better lyricist as he writes his own rhymes. He ends the verse with a warning to his enemies, saying that he knows they are out to get him, but he is always ready to defend himself.

The people you claim to represent in your neighborhood probably don't know who you are

Word on the street is that someone is planning to rob them

I'm heavily armed and ready for any situation, just like the character in a movie

Strap Before Rap, we'll call that the prequel
I was carrying guns before I started rapping, that's my backstory

I told ya wit the pen, there shall be none equal
I'm the best rapper out there, no one can compare to me

But since he ain't write it, that makes him more lethal! UUSSSHH!!
I'm implying that other rappers who have ghostwriters are more dangerous or violent, since they have something to prove

If you smart you gon hit the ground running and ducking
If you're smart, you'll run away or take cover if you see me

A lot of rap niggaz be trying to play hard
Many rappers pretend to be tough or dangerous when they're really not

Knowing damn well that they lying and they fraud
These fake rappers are aware that they're lying and pretending to be something they're not

They talk that hard shit when somebody press record
They only act tough when they're in a studio or being recorded, not in real life

When there's beef in the streets they run to their body guard
These fake rappers have bodyguards to protect them in violent situations

I'm still a hood nigga, you can catch me on the block
Despite my success, I still come from the hood and I haven't forgotten where I came from

And when I'm the club you can catch me wit the glock
Even when I'm out having fun, I'm still armed and dangerous

I know them jackas plotting trying to catch me wit a knot
I'm aware that there are people trying to rob me or take my money, so I'm prepared to defend myself

But we gon see if them laws can come catch me when he's shot
I believe that if I use my gun to defend myself, the police won't be able to catch me
