  1. 01

    [Intro: Pusha T]

    02

    Get my chain, get my chain

    03

    This G.O.O.D. Music

  2. 04

    [Verse: Pusha T]

    05

    You're sweet to me, diabetes; peace treaties

    06

    Breakfast of champions, they need Wheaties

    07

    Carrying the torch, the Olympic four rings

    08

    I'm a javelin throw from the crowning of the king

  3. 09

    I hear 'em whisper like a hummingbird sings

    10

    Of all the trust issues that a hundred birds bring

    11

    Now the wolves out, hunting for your bling

    12

    As you preying on the bitches with the lowest self esteem

  4. 13

    It's a common running theme: victim or vice lord

    14

    Disciple or Black stone, what you look to Christ for

    15

    We in the last days, fire or the ice storm

    16

    I wear it in my chain as a symbol of a crime lord

  5. 17

    Let's be honest, the cards on the table

    Multi-line diss block
    18

    Jealousy's a sin, Cain killed Abel

    19

    Backstabber, Caesar had Brutus

    20

    It's hard to weed 'em out, even Jesus had Judas, gone!

    Block noteFrames the attack in moral terms

    TargetThe Weeknd

    MeaningWhat it means: In “Jealousy's a sin, Cain killed Abel,” Pusha T uses religious or moral imagery to cast The Weeknd's behavior as corrupt, condemned, or beyond ordinary rivalry. Why it was said: The freestyle was widely interpreted as extending Pusha T's competitive references toward Drake and The Weeknd, though neither is named directly in every passage. That language raises the stakes from winning a record to deserving judgment, giving the retaliation the posture of a sentence rather than another insult.

    ContextThe freestyle was widely interpreted as extending Pusha T's competitive references toward Drake and The Weeknd, though neither is named directly in every passage.
