Step one, step off to the dance floor
Step one, step off to the dance floor

Push (hey)
(Push up on it)

(Yeah, God, whoo)

Push, Lord
Push, push (push up on it)

Every time you get some
People want to take it back
Rather see you on the run
Than see you get it like that
Every time they stop you
Change up like a sock
Every time they try to clock you
Tick more than they tock

Ah, push (I push)
Don't you let them pull you down
Yeah, push (I push)
Until you get to higher ground
Yeah, push
You're never to young, you're never too old
Yeah, push
Don't stop until you go

Did you ever stop to wonder
Why you put another down?
No man should asunder
The joy that another man found
Maybe 'bout the business you was worried wasn't ever filed in your name
Maybe the cartridge you was playin' don't fit in your video game (push)

(I push)
Don't let them pull you down
Yeah, push (I push)
Until you get to higher ground
Ah, push
You're never too young, never too old
Yeah, push
Don't stop until you go, hey

(Alright) I push (push)
(Push up on it) (Push)
(I push)
(Push)
(Push, ah, yeah)
(Push) (you're pushing my)
(Yeah, push, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Push up on it) (push)

(Yeah) (I push) well, every time you get some
(Push) people want to take it back (p-push)
They rather see you on the run (push)
Than see you get it like that
(Every time) every time they stop you
Change up like a sock (push)
Every time they try to clock you (push), tick more than they can tock

Ooh, push (I push) don't let them pull you down
Push (I push) until you get to higher ground (higher)
Push
You're never too young, never too old
Yeah, push
Don't stop until you go

(No, don't) (push) I push
(Push) I push
(Push) I push
(Push) I push

Did you ever stop to wonder (did you ever stop to wonder)

(Push) yeah, I'm a-push up on it (push)
(Yeah) (push)
(Push, push)
(Push, push) (Tony!) Yo?
(Get on the m!)
I'm a-push up on it (Tony!) Yo?
(Get on the mic!) Yeah, I'm a push up on it
(Tony) Yo?
(Get on the mic!) Slow down, I'm a-push up on it (get on the mic!)
(Get on the mic!)

I push for a beat that is greasy
I'll diss a beat if it teases
Mark this down as I state it
I like my funk concentrated
The pop seem, a little overrated
If you sure can tell where we're steppin'
There's some grease on the stage
Oops, I just stepped in it (push) circlin' as we slide
The full stride for the ride on a watered-down tip
We could never get by (push)
Fellas (get on the mic!)
Check it out, here's what you gotta do
(Push) gotta step in the room with the mood
Never juicin' yourself, just a confident attitude (push)
Believe me, you will get busy
Your mouth'll drop open
As you watch the slimmies funkin' (push)
But you don't want the one who's jockin'
'Cause it's all about the clockin' (push)
'Step one, step off to the dance floor
(Push up on it) there ya go, y'all, yeah (push)

(Push, push, push) push up on it (push up on it) (get on the mic, woman!)

(Prince)(get on the mic!) Push up on it (get on the mic!)
(Prince) you don't want me on the mic (push up on it) (get on the mic!)
No man, (Prince!) (Push up on it) you don't want me on the mic (don't stop until you go)
Push (yeah)
(Yeah) push (yeah)

It's thunder when I'm on the mic (push)
Daddy Pop's in the house and you're sure to like
His diamonds (push) (I push) sure to like his pearls
I'm good to cream every boy and girl
'Cause I'm strollin', steady hip-hop rockin', rollin' (push)
A-willing and able, horny pony and I'm pumpin' em
I'm pumpin' em (push)
I'm pump-pump-pump-pump-pumpin' em
From Pakistan to Poland (push)
Straight into your town
Snatchin' up kiddies (get on the mic!) Like a circus clown (get on the mic!) (Push)

(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha) (get on the mic!)

Well, all you people out there, (push)
You'd better beware
'Cause they call me Rosie G and I just don't care
I (push) like to step, all night long
I'm rappin' here, rappin' there and pushing this song
The song gets higher and it sets you on fire (push)
Like the lion in the jungle (get on the mic!) It takes you all higher
My momma (push) said "girl, you know it ain't cool (get on)
Said ya don't want to play by nobody's rules"
I said "Momma chill out, (push) and give me a brea
'Cause I know I got just what it takes" (push)
I said "Momma don't put me under pressure (get on, get on)
I love you and I think you're fresher, push" (push)

Everybody here we go, come on now, a-push if ya want to push
A-come on, a-come on, a-come on, a-come p-p-push it, push (push)
(Yeah, push it)
(Push)
(Yeah, push it)
(Push)

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
