About This Track

Released in April 2024, 'Push Ups' is Drake's direct response to Kendrick Lamar's verse on 'Like That', a track that called Drake's best work a 'light pack' and invoked the Michael Jackson–Prince rivalry. The title references a viral 2023 video of Lamar doing prison push-ups, whilst simultaneously addressing what Drake frames as industry subordinates attempting to rise to his level.

The lyrics target multiple figures across the hip-hop landscape, with Drake positioning himself as 'the hitmaker y'all depend on' and dismissing claims to his commercial throne. He questions chart performance, label splits, and the legitimacy of rivals' claims to represent Toronto, asserting his dominance both in the city and internationally. The track's confrontational tone extends to producers and collaborators, with Drake demanding they 'make some drums' rather than involve themselves in the dispute.

The song circulated as a leak before its official streaming release, adding to the momentum of a feud that had been building through indirect references and industry tension. Drake's delivery is blunt and methodical, each verse dismantling perceived weaknesses in his opponents' careers and public personas.

"Push Ups" is a single by Drake, released 13th April 2024. The track is 3:53 long. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 3 articles about Drake.

Lyrics

Push Ups

(Whoo Kid)
Ayy

I could never be nobody number-one fan
Your first number one, I had to put it in your hand
You pussies can't get booked outside America for nan'
I'm out in Tokyo because I'm big in Japan

I'm the hitmaker y'all depend on
Backstage in my city, it was friendzone
You won't ever take no chain off of us
How the fuck you big-steppin' with a size-seven men's on?

This the bark with the bite, nigga, what's up?
I know my picture on the wall when y'all cook up
Extortion baby, whole career, you been shook up
'Cause Top told you, "Drop and give me 50," like some push-ups, huh

Your last one bricked, you really not on shit
They make excuses for you 'cause they hate to see me lit
Pull your contract 'cause we gotta see the split
The way you doin' splits, bitch, your pants might rip

You better do that motherfuckin' show inside the bity
Maroon 5 need a verse, you better make it witty
Then we need a verse for the Swifties
Top say drop, you better drop and give 'em 50

Pipsqueak, pipe down
You ain't in no big three, SZA got you wiped down
Travis got you wiped down, Savage got you wiped down
Like your label, boy, you in a scope right now

And you gon' feel the aftermath of what I write down
I'm at the top of the mountain, so you tight now
Just to have this talk with your ass, I had to hike down
Big difference 'tween Mike then and Mike now

What the fuck is this, a 20-v-1, nigga?
What's a prince to a king? He a son, nigga
Get more love in the city that you from, nigga
Metro, shut your ho ass up and make some drums, nigga

Yeah, I'm the 6ix God, I'm the frontrunner
Y'all nigga manager was Chubbs lil' blunt runner
Claim the 6ix and you boys ain't even come from it
And when you boys got rich, you had to run from it

Cash blowin' Abel bread, out here trickin' (out here trickin')
Shit we do for bitches, he doin' for niggas (what the fuck?)
Jets, whips, chains, wicked, wicked, wicked (wicked, wicked)
Spend it like you tryna fuck, boy, you trippin', boy, you trippin'

Drizzy Chip 'n Dale, probably got your bitch Chanel
I just got 'em done, boy, don't make me have to chip a nail
Rolling Loud stage, y'all were turnt, that was slick as hell
Shit'll probably change if your BM start to kiss and tell

Hugs and kisses, man, don't tell me 'bout no switches
I'll be rockin' every fuckin' chain I own next visit, ayy
I be with some bodyguards like Whitney
Top say drop, your little midget ass better fuckin'

Ayy, better drop and give me 50, ayy
Drop and give me 50, drop and give me 50, ayy
Niggas really got me out here talkin' like I'm 50, ayy
Niggas really got me out here rappin' what I'm livin'

I might take your latest girl and cuff her like I'm Ricky
Can't believe he jumpin' in, this nigga turnin' 50
Every song that made it on the chart, he got from Drizzy
Spend that lil' check you got and stay up out my business

Nigga, shout out to the hooper that be bustin' out the griddy
We know why you mad, nigga, I ain't even trippin'
All that lil' heartbroken Twitter shit for bitches
This for all the top dogs, drop and give me 50, drop, drop

And that fuckin' song y'all got did not start the beef with us
This shit been brewin' in a pot, now I'm heatin' up
I don't care what Cole think, that Dot shit was weak as fuck
Champagne trippin', he is not fuckin' easin' up

Nigga callin' Top to see if Top wanna peace it up
"Top, wanna peace it up? Top, wanna peace it up?"
Nah, pussy, now you on your own when you speakin' up
You done rolled deep to this, it's not fuckin' deep enough

Beggin' Kai Cenat, boy, you not fuckin' beatin' us
Numbers-wise, I'm out of here, you not fuckin' creepin' up
Money-wise, I'm out of here, you not fuckin' sneakin' up
Cornball, your show money merch money fee to us

I'ma let you niggas work it out because I seen enough
This ain't even everything I know, don't wake the demon up
This ain't even everything I know, don't wake the demon up
Drop and give me 50, all you fuck niggas teamin' up

(What top five you smokin' on, Kendrick?)

Mmm, mmm, yeah
Drop, drop, drop, drop
Drop a 50 bag for the mob in the spot
Drop a 50 bag, 29 for the thot
Uh, I was really, really tryna keep it PG
