In September 2010, Pusha T signed to Kanye West's GOOD Music imprint, under the aegis of Def Jam Recordings. Later that year, he was featured on West's single "Runaway," which peaked at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2011, he released his first solo project, the mixtape Fear of God, which was followed up with his debut solo album, My Name Is My Name, released in 2013. In November 2015, West appointed Pusha T to take over his role as president of GOOD Music. Pusha T remained a flagship artist for the label until ending his tenure with the company in 2022.
Pusha T has since then released three solo albums: King Push – Darkest Before Dawn: The Prelude (2015), Daytona (2018), and It's Almost Dry (2022), all receiving widespread critical acclaim; the latter was Pusha T's first number one debut on the Billboard 200.
Just So You Remember
Pusha T Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can your eyes behold the sight?
It's only Monday
Tomorrow never comes until it's too late
Just so you remember who you dealin' with
The number don't change, I know who the chemist is
Brick by brick, we kept open dealerships
Seein' you rappers apply for the stimulus
Livin' a lie but die for your images
It's guns involved like cowboys and Indians
You Trackhawk niggas are not my equivalent
Flew your bitch to Cuba for the thrill of it
But I ain't go, to show you what you shoulda did
Ten inch chains to hide all my blemishes
My Joker smile, you know who the villain is
Just so you remember who you dealing with
Look outside, the landscape ridiculous
Motion lights surrounded meticulous
Architectural Digest my premises
She just spent a million on the finishes
Millionaires were made out of middlemen
That hole in the attic was not for a ceiling fan
Army Celine, the wardrobe is militant
And army fatigue when I talk pyramids
Just so you remember who you dealin' with
The purest snow we sellin' white privilege
Designer drugs'll turn niggas limitless
Designer clothes, these hoes losin' innocence
The book of blow, just know I'm the Genesis
As you come out to the light
Can your eyes behold the sight?
It's only Monday
Tomorrow never comes until it's too late
Just so you remember who you dealin' with
His Pyrex talks but I'm the ventriloquist
Language different, I'm damn near an immigrant
A song with any of you niggas, I'm disinterested
The needle is sharp, but they ain't shootin' insulin
You missin' the point, these drums ain't Timbalands
Never thought we'd go to war
After all the things we saw
It's April Fool's Day
Tomorrow never comes until it's too late
We fight for the bill, you niggas still chippin' in
You'll Google to death the shit I get driven in
My boys in the hood is mixed with the menaces
The cane is sugar and cut by Dominicans
Open the box, it's like ten Christmases
My folks in the box is serving life sentences
I live in a world that never leaves witnesses
Just so you remember who you dealin' with
Tomorrow never comes until it's too late

Line by Line Meaning
As you come out to the light
As you emerge from darkness and face reality
Can your eyes behold the sight?
Can you truly see and understand what is in front of you?
It's only Monday
It's still early in the week, there's plenty of time
Tomorrow never comes until it's too late
The future is uncertain, and you won't realize it until it's too late
Just so you remember who you dealin' with
I want to remind you of my identity and capabilities
The number don't change, I know who the chemist is
I know the source and the mastermind behind the operation
Brick by brick, we kept open dealerships
We built our drug empire gradually and systematically
Mitch by mitch, we built up our villages
We expanded our influence and power step by step
Seein' you rappers apply for the stimulus
Observing how you fake rappers seek help and support
Livin' a lie but die for your images
You portray a false image, but you're willing to defend and die for it
It's guns involved like cowboys and Indians
There's violence and danger in our world, just like in old western movies
You Trackhawk niggas are not my equivalent
I don't consider you on the same level as me, you're inferior
Flew your bitch to Cuba for the thrill of it
I took your woman on a luxurious trip to Cuba just for excitement
But I ain't go, to show you what you shoulda did
I didn't personally go, but it serves as a demonstration of what you should have done
Ten inch chains to hide all my blemishes
I wear flashy jewelry to distract from my flaws and mistakes
My Joker smile, you know who the villain is
My smiling face resembles that of the Joker, indicating I am the villain in this story
Look outside, the landscape ridiculous
The view outside is incredibly impressive and extravagant
Motion lights surrounded meticulous
The exterior lighting is carefully placed and monitored
Architectural Digest my premises
My property is featured in high-profile design publications
She just spent a million on the finishes
She recently invested a large sum of money on the final touches and details
Millionaires were made out of middlemen
Ordinary people became millionaires by being intermediaries in illicit activities
That hole in the attic was not for a ceiling fan
The concealed space in the attic was used for illicit purposes, not ventilation
Army Celine, the wardrobe is militant
I have a collection of military-style clothes from the designer Celine
And army fatigue when I talk pyramids
I exude strength and power when I discuss my wealth and success
The purest snow we sellin' white privilege
We're selling the highest quality cocaine, representing the privilege associated with it
Designer drugs'll turn niggas limitless
Taking designer drugs can make people feel invincible and boundless
Designer clothes, these hoes losin' innocence
Wearing expensive designer clothing can corrupt women and make them lose their innocence
The book of blow, just know I'm the Genesis
In the world of drug dealing, I am the origin and the beginning
His Pyrex talks but I'm the ventriloquist
While he may speak about drug dealing, I am the one truly pulling the strings
Language different, I'm damn near an immigrant
My style and vocabulary are distinct, as if I'm from a different culture or world
A song with any of you niggas, I'm disinterested
I have no interest or desire to collaborate with any of you artists
The needle is sharp, but they ain't shootin' insulin
They may have the tools for success, but they aren't using them effectively
You missin' the point, these drums ain't Timbalands
You're not understanding the essence and significance of these beats, they're not ordinary
We fight for the bill, you niggas still chippin' in
We're striving for greatness, while you're still contributing very little
You'll Google to death the shit I get driven in
You'll endlessly search online to learn about the luxurious vehicles I ride in
My boys in the hood is mixed with the menaces
The individuals in my neighborhood have a combination of street smarts and dangerous tendencies
The cane is sugar and cut by Dominicans
The cocaine we sell is mixed with sugar and manufactured by Dominicans
Open the box, it's like ten Christmases
Opening a package from us is like experiencing the joy of Christmas multiple times
My folks in the box is serving life sentences
My associates are imprisoned for life due to their involvement in criminal activities
I live in a world that never leaves witnesses
In my dangerous world, there are no witnesses left alive to testify against us
Tomorrow never comes until it's too late
The future is uncertain, and you won't realize it until it's too late

"open the box its like ten christmases"

"my folks in the box is serving life sentences"
his close affiliates are in jail for life. jail is a box.
"open the box it's like ten christmases, my folks in the box is serving life sentences"
the box is 10 christmases = 10 years
his folks "box" time = 100+ years
they are trading boxes of 10 years worth of snow, for 100+ years of jail rooms.
