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 β 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.
New God Flow
Pusha T Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shake that body, party that bod
Shake that body, party that body
Come and have a good time with G.O.D
I believe there's a God above me
I'm just the God of everything else
I put holes in everything else
Supreme dope dealer (Woo!) write it in bold letters
They love a nigga's spirit like Pac at the Coachella
They said Pusha ain't fit with the umbrella
But I was good with the Yay' as a wholesaler
I think it's good that 'Ye got a blow dealer
A hot temper, matched with a cold killer
I came aboard for more than just to rhyme with him
Think '99, when Puff woulda had Shyne with him (Yughck)
(Matching Daytonas, rose gold on us)
Goin' HΒ·AΒ·M in Ibiza done took a toll on us (ooh!)
(But since you over do it, I'mma pour more)
Well if you goin' coupe, I'm goin' four door
Shake that body, party that bod (That's rare nigga!)
Shake that body, party that bod (Rick Flare nigga!)
Shake that body, party that body (Yeah nigga!)
Come and have a good time with G.O.D (yeah)
Shake that body, party that bod (Whoa!)
Shake that body, party that bod (Whoa!)
Shake that body, party that body (It's a new God flow niggas!)
Come and have a good time with G.O.D
Step on they necks 'til they can't breathe
Claim they five stars but sell you dreams
They say death multiplies by threes
Line them all up and let's just see
Fuck em 'Ye, fuck em 'Ye!
I wouldn't piss on that nigga with Grand Marnier (Woo!)
(Woo!) They shitty shoppin' at TargΓ©t (Woo!)
(Woo!) My shit is luxury Balmain (Ay!)
Im ballin', Amar'e
A nick' sold in the park then I want in
What's a king without a crown, nigga? (What?)
What's a circus without you clown niggas? (Ha!)
What's a brick from an outta-town nigga
When you flood and you can drown niggas? (Yughck!)
Here's the G.O.O.D. Music golden child
M.A. dollar sign, can't nobody hold me down
Shake that body, party that bod
Shake that body, party that bod
Shake that body, party that body
Come and have a good time with G.O.D
Hold up, I ain't trying to stunt, man
But these Yeezys jumped over the Jumpman
Went from most hated to the champion god flow
I guess that's a feeling only me and Lebron know
I'm living three dreams,
Biggie Smalls', Dr. King, Rodney King's
'Cause we can't get along, no resolution
'Til we drown all these haters, rest in peace to Whitney Houston
Cars, money, girls and the clothes
Aw man, you sold your soul
Naw man, mad people was frontin'
Aw man, made something from nothing
Picture working so hard, and you can't cut through
That can mess up your whole life, like an uncle that touched you
What has the world come to, I'm from the 3 1 2
Where cops don't come through and dreams don't come true
Like there the god go in his Murcielago
From working McDonalds, barely paying the car note
He even got enough to get his mama a condo
Then they ran up and shot him right in front of his mom
40 killings in a weekend, 40 killings in a week
Man the summer too hot you can feel it in the street
Welcome to Sunday service if you hope to someday serve us
We got green in our eyes, just follow my Erick Sermon
Did Moses not part the water with the cane?
Did strippers not make an arc when I made it rain?
Did Yeezy not get signed by Hov and Dame?
And ran to Jacob and made the new Jesus chains?
In Jesus' name, let the choir say
"I'm on fire, ay," that's what Richard Pryor say
And we'll annihilate anybody that violate
Ask any dope boy you know, they admire 'Ye
Shake that body, party that bod
Shake that body, party that bod
Shake that body, party that body
Come and have a good time with G.O.D
G.O.O.D. Music! G.O.O.D. Music!
G.O.O.D. Music! G.O.O.D. Music!
And all my niggas say "G.O.O.D. Music!"
And all my ladies say "G.O.O.D. Music!"
I don't know but I've been told (I don't know but I've been told)
If you get fresh get all the hoes (If you get fresh get all the hoes)
I'm way fresher than all my foes (I'm way fresher than all my foes)
Somebody please pick out they clothes (Somebody please pick out they clothes)
And all my niggas say "G.O.O.D. Music!"
And all my ladies say "G.O.O.D. Music!"
Who runnin' shit today? G.O.O.D. Music!
Who runnin' shit today? G.O.O.D. Music!

Shake that body, party that bod
Let's dance and have a good time
Come and have a good time with G.O.D
Join us and feel the spirit of God
I believe there's a God above me
I have faith in a higher power
I'm just the god of everything else
I may not be a divine being, but I control everything else
I put holes in everything else
I destroy anything that gets in my way
New God Flow, fuck everything else
My new power and influence surpasses everything else
Supreme dope dealer (Woo!) write it in bold letters
I sell the best drugs and everyone knows it
They love a nigga's spirit like Pac at the Coachella
People appreciate my energy, like they did Tupac's at Coachella
They said Pusha ain't fit with the umbrella
They thought I didn't belong with the group but they were wrong
But I was good with the Yay' as a wholesaler
I may have started small, but now I work with Kanye as a supplier
I think it's good that 'Ye got a blow dealer
I approve of Kanye's drug dealer
A hot temper, matched with a cold killer
I have a fiery personality but can remain calm and calculated when necessary
I came aboard for more than just to rhyme with him
I have a greater purpose for being part of this group than just to collaborate on music
Think '99, when Puff woulda had Shyne with him (Yughck)
I'm like Shyne, a protege and partner of a powerful mogul like Puff
Goin' H.A.M in Ibiza done took a toll on us (ooh!)
Partying and living extravagantly in Ibiza has drained us physically and financially
(But since you over do it, I'mma pour more)
Despite the negative consequences, I'll continue to indulge and party harder
Well if you goin' coupe, I'm goin' four door
If you're upgrading to a fancy car, I'll go even bigger with a four-door model
Step on they necks 'til they can't breathe
I'll crush my enemies until they're powerless
Claim they five stars but sell you dreams
They proclaim to be great but really just deceive you
They say death multiplies by threes
There is a belief that death comes in threes
Line them all up and let's just see
Let's see if that belief is true by lining up potential victims
Fuck em 'Ye, fuck em 'Ye!
Kanye is cursing out his haters
I wouldn't piss on that nigga with Grand Marnier (Woo!)
He wouldn't waste expensive alcohol on someone he despises
(Woo!) They shitty shoppin' at TargΓ©t (Woo!)
The people who dislike him shop at discount stores like Target
My shit is luxury Balmain (Ay!)
He prefers expensive, high-end clothing like Balmain
Im ballin', Amar'e
He's living like NBA star Amar'e Stoudemire, with wealth and success
A nick' sold in the park then I want in
He wants to be part of any lucrative business, no matter how small
What's a king without a crown, nigga? (What?)
Without a symbol of power, one cannot be considered a true king
What's a circus without you clown niggas? (Ha!)
The performance would be incomplete without some comedic relief
What's a brick from an outta-town nigga
A drug shipment from someone outside the local area
When you flood and you can drown niggas? (Yughck!)
Once he has control over the drug supply, he can ruin his competition and their customers
Here's the G.O.O.D. Music golden child
He's the shining star of G.O.O.D. Music, the most talented artist
M.A. dollar sign, can't nobody hold me down
He's unbreakable like the late rapper M.A.$E
Hold up, I ain't trying to stunt, man
He's not trying to boast, he's just stating facts
But these Yeezys jumped over the Jumpman
Kanye's shoe line is now more popular and successful than Michael Jordan's
Went from most hated to the champion god flow
He started as a hated underdog but is now the reigning king of rap
I guess that's a feeling only me and Lebron know
LeBron James can relate to his success and the pressure that comes with it
I'm living three dreams, Biggie Smalls', Dr. King, Rodney King's
He's living a successful life like Biggie Smalls, a meaningful one like Dr. King, and a powerful one like Rodney King
'Cause we can't get along, no resolution
We can't seem to find peace and harmony, no matter how hard we try
'Til we drown all these haters, rest in peace to Whitney Houston
We'll only find peace once our haters are silenced, like Whitney Houston
Cars, money, girls and the clothes
These are the things that symbolize success and luxury
Aw man, you sold your soul
Some believe that achieving success in these areas requires one to make immoral deals or compromises
Naw man, mad people was frontin'
He didn't have to sell his soul, people were just pretending to be more successful than they were
Aw man, made something from nothing
Despite the odds, he achieved success through hard work and ingenuity
Picture working so hard, and you can't cut through
It's frustrating to work hard and not achieve success
That can mess up your whole life, like an uncle that touched you
The disappointment and feeling of failure can be as damaging as sexual abuse by a family member
What has the world come to, I'm from the 3 1 2
The state of the world is depressing, and he comes from a city (Chicago) known for violence
Where cops don't come through and dreams don't come true
The police are ineffective and unable to solve problems, and it's difficult to achieve success
Like there the god go in his Murcielago
Like a deity, he's powerful and drives an expensive car
From working McDonalds, barely paying the car note
He worked at a low-paying job and struggled to afford his car payments
He even got enough to get his mama a condo
Despite his modest beginnings, he was able to buy his mother a nice home
Then they ran up and shot him right in front of his mom
He was tragically killed in front of his loving mother, despite all his hard work and success
40 killings in a weekend, 40 killings in a week
The violence in his city is out of control and escalating
Man the summer too hot you can feel it in the street
The tension and violence is so intense, you can physically feel it
Welcome to Sunday service if you hope to someday serve us
If you want to be successful and join us, embrace our lifestyle and beliefs
We got green in our eyes, just follow my Erick Sermon
We're driven by money and success, like Erick Sermon of EPMD
Did Moses not part the water with the cane?
God has demonstrated his power through Moses' actions
Did strippers not make an arc when I made it rain?
His wealth and power allowed him to make it rain money on strippers, who then formed an arc to catch it
Did Yeezy not get signed by Hov and Dame?
Kanye's talent and hard work led him to be discovered by Jay-Z and Damon Dash
And ran to Jacob and made the new Jesus chains?
He designed new, expensive jewelry that's been compared to a religious symbol
In Jesus' name, let the choir say
In praise of our beliefs and values as a group
I'm on fire, ay, that's what Richard Pryor say
He's on a hot streak of success and fame, like the late comedian Richard Pryor
And we'll annihilate anybody that violate
We'll destroy anyone who opposes us or tries to interfere
Ask any dope boy you know, they admire 'Ye
Even drug dealers respect and admire Kanye's success and power
G.O.O.D. Music!
We're part of a talented and successful music group
And all my niggas say 'G.O.O.D. Music!'
We celebrate our connection to the group and its success
And all my ladies say 'G.O.O.D. Music!'
We appreciate and welcome the support of women in our audience
I don't know but I've been told
An old chant that is often used to hype up a crowd
If you get fresh get all the hoes
If you dress well and look your best, you'll attract all the women
I'm way fresher than all my foes
He looks better and more fashionable than his enemies
Somebody please pick out their clothes
He thinks his enemies dress poorly and need a fashion intervention
Who runnin' shit today? G.O.O.D. Music!
We're in charge and dominating the music industry right now
