About This Track

Rick Ross builds 'Push It' around a sample of the 'Scarface' theme, anchoring the track in the film's mythology of ambition and criminal ascent. The production, courtesy of J. R. Rotem, lets that iconic loop carry the weight whilst Ross narrates his own rise from the Miami streets, collapsing the distance between the movie's fictional kingpin and his own persona. The hook, "I push and I push", becomes a mantra of relentless forward motion, whether through legitimate enterprise or the darker trades he describes with unflinching specificity. Ross moves between registers across three verses, shifting from survival narrative to boastful assertion to the mechanics of operation itself. He sketches poverty and desperation in the opening bars, then pivots to the material rewards of his ascent: Phantoms, tailored linen, the accoutrements of arrival. The song never pretends to moral complexity; it simply documents the logic of pushing, the calculus of risk and reward that governs his world. That clarity, married to the Scarface sample's gravitational pull, gives 'Push It' its propulsive charge.

"Push It" is a track by Rick Ross, from the album Port of Miami, released 17th May 2006. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Push It

[Intro]

Push it to the limit

[Verse 1]

Port of Miami (uhh), I'm importin' the candy (uhh)

Ain't got nothin' to lose, we supportin' the family

Never traffic for fun, only traffic for funds

All I seen is the struggle, it's like I'm trapped in the slums

Workers were barely paid, no water, we barely bathe

There better be better days on the way that's on my daddy grave

I'm pushin' it hard, I'm pushin' it soft

If he pushin' a line, he pushin' for Ross

I waited and waited, I done ran out of patience

They hated and hated, left him slow dancin' with Satan

Fresh in my white tee, Mac-11, swear to God

I bought my first block, broke it down and tore the block apart

[Chorus]

I push and I push, I ride and I ride

Tryna survive on 95

Put it all on the line every drop of a dime

I be pushin' them whips, yep, three at time

I'm pushin' it, I'm pushin' it

I'm pushin' it, I gotta (Push it to the limit)

II'm pushin' it, I'm pushin' it

I'm pushin' it, I gotta (Push it to the limit)

[Verse 2]

I handle dope like a vandal off the banana boat

Bananas in our rifles, no cyphers, I'm just the man to know

I paid dues, my moves done made news

I'm smooth, my suede shoes they new like Ray shoes

Nobody used to speak, now e'rybody wave

You duck your momma house, you set your sister straight

I'm buildin' a dream, with elevators in it

Tailor made the linen, no gators got on my hater-vision

I see ya, I see ya suckers, I see ya clear

I know you see me in that Phantom whiter than veneers

Allergic to broke, determined to blow

On the boat we hid the work in detergent and soap

We ship it from Haiti, baby I'm whippin' them babies

Let it dry, let it dry, try to whip a Mercedes

Arrangin' my Range, here to rain ya parade

You gotta push it to the limit you wanna be paid

[Chorus]

I push and I push, I ride and I ride

Tryna survive on 95 (Push it to the limit)

Put it all on the line every drop of a dime

I be pushin' them whips, yep, three at time

I'm pushin' it, I'm pushin' it

I'm pushin' it, I gotta (Push it to the limit)

II'm pushin' it, I'm pushin' it

I'm pushin' it, I gotta (Push it to the limit)

[Verse 3]

We started minute, the money matured

My money's secured, I got bundles in Europe

My bubble be pure, it cost like a hundred a pull

The world is yours, hundred million or more

Now I run the streets, they all mine

12 years overdue, call it due time

I told you never roll on the soul of a soldier

You never know that dishwasher may be the beholder

Whoever thought that fat girl would grow into Oprah

Or that boy Rick Ross would be moldin' the culture

I push and push, we breakin' the mold

We push and we push, we rake in the hold

[Chorus]

I push and I push, I ride and I ride

Tryna survive on 95 (Push it to the limit)

Put it all on the line every drop of a dime

I be pushin' them whips, yep, three at time

I'm pushin' it, I'm pushin' it

I'm pushin' it, I gotta (Push it to the limit)

I'm pushin' it, I'm pushin' it

I'm pushin' it, I gotta (Push it to the limit)
