Pusha T paints pictures of wealth and consequence across 'Keep Dealing', a track that moves between the swagger of accumulation and the weight of survival. The song sits in the space between his past and his present self, where drug-trade vernacular and luxury become interchangeable currencies. He compares himself to Warhol, repositioning street narrative as art, whilst the production darkens around him as he catalogs the cost of staying afloat: legal fees, hush money, the constant need to move forward or collapse. The chorus locks onto a refrain about silence and power, the kind of wealth that doesn't announce itself in numbers. Beanie Sigel appears to anchor the final verse, grounding the track in its own lineage. What emerges is less a celebration than a reckoning, the song's title itself a loop: you keep dealing because stopping means exposure, because the machinery demands motion. Pusha T moves through it all with precision, each line a small transaction in a larger, darker arithmetic.
"Keep Dealing" is a track by Pusha T, from the album King Push – Darkest Before Dawn: The Prelude, released 18th December 2015. Full lyrics are available below.
