I Still Wana
Pusha T Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's like an itch you can't scratch
It's like a bitch you can't shake
I still wanna

Sleeping with the finest, the thread count is bindless
Security blanket of cocaine, I am Linus
In this climate I'm Kareem Burke tied in
The Roc silent partner I ain't throwing up the diamond
Throwing on the shearling, collars up, bottles up
Sparkles to the table, got 'em feeling like he's Merlin
Whirlwind, powder makes your world spin
Learn from OGs, Alfa Romeos and Sterlings
Updated that, upgraded that
Suffocation blue in the insides potato sack
Yeah, talk money, shit I'm made of that
Cocaine parties like the seventies, I cater that
You know what fame is? Sitting with the woman
Of your dreams and forgetting what her name is
You know what pain is? Flushing two bricks
And tryna have a nigga strain it out the drainage

[Chorus]
See my face on the news and it ain't Tivo
I still wanna sell kilos
It's like I'm throwing rocks at the pen begging for the Rico
I still wanna sell kilos
Searching for the fish scale like I'm tryna find Nemo
I still wanna sell kilos
That's what happens when you Michael and they try to treat you like you Tito
I still wanna sell kilos

Grew up watching momma car repoe'd
A little nigga staring through the peep hole
How you think I felt knowing daddy wasn't there
Recycling cans cause nobody ever cared
Get it how you live, always echoed in the streets
When we talking business, talking on the phone cease
Feds listening to conversations through my OnStar
Piecing puzzles together solving homicides of I's
Dice game chatter, better bring your stash out
Red velor, I'm in the white glass house
Half a ticket bitches quick to drop it on the scale
City of dope where real niggas sell yay'
Everyday a nigga dies and we can't ask why
Show 'em all love, the bitches fucked on the side
Tony Montana, tailor made suits in the church
Rolls Royce Corniche, trunk full of work

[Chorus]

Testarossa top models, G fours
Gucci pass the crease off, everything I climb in, I win
Richard Mille Tourbillon, remarkable timing
Black label everything, logos in the lining
Bell Biv DeVoe push poison like a copper head
Powder falls, smoke clears through the walking dead
The Rose bottles pour for the champions
You'd think it was a Grammy win, celebration spills
Through the morning like an Ambien, bitches love my ambiance
Chain swinging, ticker taping like it's Mardi Gras
Thousand niggas deep, never needed body guards
Thousand keys that I'm about to do Pilate's on
Where the kings crowned like the grill a Maserati's on
Candy coated parked, doors ajar, on a stripper
Blew a fuse and caught a body on, cocaine storaging
Liva living dreams, y'all DeLoreans pouring in





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Pusha T's song 'I Still Wanna' speak to his desire to sell kilos despite the dangers that come with that lifestyle. The opening lines of the song set the tone, comparing the desire to sell drugs to an irresistible itch or a stubborn itch. This is a recurring theme throughout the song, as Pusha T talks about how he's made of money and his desire to keep making money the way he always has, despite the risks involved.


Pusha T also highlights the luxuries that come with dealing in drugs, including sleeping with the finest women and wearing expensive clothing. He paints a picture of a glamorous lifestyle filled with champagne, beautiful women, and fast cars. Despite this, he still acknowledges the dark side of the drug trade; the dangers, the violence, and the constant threat of being caught by the laws' long arm.


The chorus of the song continues to highlight Pusha T's desire to continue selling drugs, even though it's likely to lead to his downfall in the form of arrest or death. He speaks about how he's grown up with nothing and believes that the only way to succeed is to make money by any means necessary, even if that means breaking the law.


Overall, Pusha T's 'I Still Wanna' is a powerful and poetic exploration of the high-risk, high-reward culture of drug dealings. It speaks to the seductive and dangerous nature of the illegal drug trade that has claimed countless lives, both figuratively and literally.
