Push It Away
311 · Dammit
I used to have this idea
That getting a silver medal wouldnt set me free
Oh but you know that I really dont need
To catch no fame or credit
Nor a big fat bank account with no debit
So just set me straight,
Cause ?? your peace of mind just cant wait
I sent a telegram on ??, urgent
I hope it gets to my door, my big big door
Im going free if they kill me
Cause this aint much better anyway
Just push it away
Oh success, that elusive brainchild of breed
Something you want, not need
Face it, cause
Money cant buy true friendship or trust
And applause will never be any substitute for love
But not me man, check it out
I sent a telegram on ??, urgent
I hope it gets to my door, my big big door
Im going free if they kill me
Cause this aint much better anyway
Just push it away
That getting a silver medal wouldnt set me free
Oh but you know that I really dont need
To catch no fame or credit
Nor a big fat bank account with no debit
So just set me straight,
Cause ?? your peace of mind just cant wait
I sent a telegram on ??, urgent
I hope it gets to my door, my big big door
Im going free if they kill me
Cause this aint much better anyway
Just push it away
Oh success, that elusive brainchild of breed
Something you want, not need
Face it, cause
Money cant buy true friendship or trust
And applause will never be any substitute for love
But not me man, check it out
I sent a telegram on ??, urgent
I hope it gets to my door, my big big door
Im going free if they kill me
Cause this aint much better anyway
Just push it away
Push It Away
From the 1993 album Dammit, "Push It Away" stands as a defining track in the catalog of 311, the rap-rock duo formed by Method Man and Redman. The song exemplifies their signature blend of gritty, street-level storytelling with the melodic sensibilities of rock and roll. Released during the height of their early career, the recording captures the raw energy and collaborative spirit that characterized their work in the mid-90s. As a staple of their discography, the track has become a cultural touchstone, frequently referenced in hip-hop history and celebrated for its ability to merge aggressive lyricism with a driving, anthemic sound that resonated with audiences across generations.
