P.O.V. Lyrics – Clipse

P.O.V. Lyrics Meaning

[Chorus: Pusha T]
The chorus talks about living a high-end lifestyle, moving kilos (drügs) in a fancy car like a Maybach. The journey involves traveling by train down south while someone flies back, showing a mix of fast and slow moves. His connection for the business is reliable and discreet, symbolized by “ponytails tied back.” He’s made millions under the radar, using Tyvek (a protective material). He’s tired of people copying his style and making fake content because he’s the original creator. There are rules in this game, and he refuses to go back on what he believes in. Even after topping many charts, he wonders why he hasn’t been rewarded properly.

[Verse 1: Pusha T]
Here, he’s talking about the people who become famous quickly but don’t have real success or depth — “60 day stars” and those who have money but don’t really enjoy life, just browsing and not shopping. He knows people wonder how he keeps reinventing himself and succeeding, and he challenges those who only stream music but don’t fit in the real scene. He compares his team to “Supreme,” meaning they’re top-level, especially after the drug business is done (“when the powder clears”). He’s seen things from that life that he’s not proud to talk about. He calls out fake hosts and attention-seekers, demanding respect. The references to luxury cars and people around him show his status. He describes how serious business happens quietly, like sending a hit through a text, not loud confrontations. He loves the calm and connection he has with his dealers, especially in peaceful mountain places.

[Chorus: Pusha T]
The chorus repeats, reminding us about the luxurious and secretive lifestyle of moving kilos in his Maybach, traveling smart, and working with trusted people. He expresses frustration with imitators who only copy his original ideas and the strict rules in the business. Despite all his success and topping charts, he still feels like he hasn’t received the respect or rewards he deserves.

[Verse 2: Malice]
Malice talks about how big and heavy their operation is — if it were weighed, it would be “obese,” meaning huge and powerful. He compares mixing money to the skill of a famous quarterback throwing long passes, showing precision and confidence. He talks about spending big money hiding and moving around, matching his car’s luxury with everything else. He reflects on how he started his rap career far from the spotlight (“in OZ”) and watches new rappers struggle, some going too far. He says being true to himself means showing both sides of his story. He was brave enough to walk away from certain things to find real freedom. He feels confident in who he is, having the “key” to open his past and truths. Sometimes he lied to himself, but he could convince himself anyway. He even rapped with artists he didn’t respect, all for the money, which he calls the “devil” inside. He had to hide parts of himself from his faith (the “church”), showing a struggle between good and bad sides, like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Pressure never scared him because he saw flashy chains and wealth as a form of control or oppression, not freedom.

[Chorus: Pusha T]
The chorus comes back again, reinforcing the image of a rich, powerful lifestyle tied to a secretive drug business. It highlights his frustration with copycats and the strict rules he follows without turning back. Even after being at the top, he’s still waiting for his true recognition or prize.
