Push 'Em
Travis Barker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't get a grip, I'm about to slip, I'm about to fight
I took another shot of whiskey dipsy chippin hit me
I don't wanna get a grip, wanna lose it all, I wanna go wild
Yeah, Catfish in a drop top thunderbird oh my god
Here comes Billy again with Travis Barker, Jay and Silent Bob
Hiya mom, Holmes got another chopper, high as a helicopter
Sitting on the porch with a simple torch shakin his head, Flocka Flocka
But I said fuck it, kick the bucket and drink 'em all, Wacka Wacka
Anybody seen a doctor, I'm a head cast after the Opera
And if I say go then a bunch of famous family members are gonna pop off
To my people on the back, move to the front
Push 'em, push 'em
To my people on the front, move to the back
Push 'em, push,'em
To my people on the side, move to the middle
Push 'em, push 'em
Everybody in this motherfucker 1, 2, 3, go
Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump
Push 'em, push 'em
Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump
Push 'em, push 'em
Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump
Push 'em, push 'em

Skate tee, you know we chillin'
Felix, you know he's chillin'
California, you know we chillin'
Alabama, you know we chillin'
Pull 'em up on that '87 with Paul Wall
You know he's grillin'
Look around and tell me do you really wanna jump inside that mothafuckin' prison
For the animals that drink a pint and to the final crew to get inside
The club and jump into a bottle like a bowl of water hold up buddy can I get a
The Wolfpack's in mosh mode crowd surfin, see 'em rise
Slumerican famous yeah, DTA gettin' DUI's
Go
To my people on the back, move to the front
Push 'em, push 'em
To my people on the front, move to the back
Push 'em, push,'em
To my people on the side, move to the middle
Push 'em, push 'em

We're dealing with a small group of troublemakers
it's uh, bunch of angry young men who were fighting
Who were smashing, and some crazy fires and explosives
Are causing these problems
London Bridge is fallin' down but I'm too drunk on a bottle of brown
Too far gone in a pile of cans to keep my hands from movin' around
Fuck it, I'm in public feeling like nobody's watching me go nuts
When am I gonna lose my mind, before I find myself to hold me up
To my people on the back, move to the front
Push 'em, push 'em
To my people on the front, move to the back
Push 'em, push,'em
To my people on the side, move to the middle
Push 'em, push 'em

The song "Push Em" by Travis Barker is a high-energy anthem that celebrates reckless abandon and living life to the fullest. The rapper is feeling like Pscho White and can't keep a grip on himself. He describes himself as having taken another shot of whiskey and just wanting to go wild, to lose it all. He details a gathering of friends, including Catfish in a drop-top thunderbird, Billy, Travis Barker, Jay, and Silent Bob, all getting high and partying. He expresses remorse to his dad for drinking a six-pack when he was told not to but then says he's going to drink them all anyway. He ends the song with an almost confessional moment, admitting he's too far gone in a pile of cans to hold himself up.
The lyrics of this song contain vivid and colorful descriptions of a wild party scene. They also explore themes of rebellion, regret, and release. The chorus encourages everyone to push and jump, which emphasizes the song's celebratory tone.
