Just So You Remember
Pusha T Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
The number don't change, I know who the chemist is
Brick by brick, we kept open dealerships
Mitch by mitch, we built up our villages
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

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

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

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 it's like ten christmases, my folks in the box is serving life sentences"

i thought the same thing. it has that movie trailer vibe to it. fun fact: Big Fish Theory by Vince Staples was conceptualized with the intention of being used in film and tv.
