Firstly, the track title might raise some eyebrows at first. In fact, it references Pusha T’s track “What Would Meek Do?” off of his critically acclaimed 2018 album, DAYTONA. Not only does the instrumental follow a similar rhythm, tempo, and swing, but DZA’s delivery is similar to Push’s. Furthermore, there’s a nasty rasp to Smoke’s voice on this cut, to the point that one’s expecting Push’s “Yuuugh!” to pop out anytime.
Still, the obvious homage doesn’t dip too hard into rip-off territory. For one, DZA’s lyrical approach is a little more sprawling and varied. Then there’s the instrumental itself. The chorus of “Today, we selling’ bass” is emphasized by a monstrous drop. Moreover, the bass feels borderline overwhelming on this cut, which one can’t say about a chunk of his previous 2022 output.
What’s more is that “What Would Push Do” is the exception on Money For Dummies, not the rule. There’s more soulful boom-bap, drumless street tales, and wavy weed anthems. However, amid DZA’s skill set, this is a sound that fans surely wouldn’t mind seeing explored and developed.

[Intro]
([?])
[Verse 1]
Kush God bitch, what the wait like?
Two-hunnid for the Ps with the [?]
I got a couple in the air on a straight flight
Brand new flow and you can get it for the base price
Bring the lab rats, see what it taste like
A1 product, get your cake right
They was ridin’ dirity on the late night
Silly nigga got pulled over for a brake light
[Pre-Chorus]
Stand up nigga, never ran, never fold
Know I’m heavy on a soul
[Chorus]
But today we’re selling bass
Bass (Nigga, what the lick be)
Today we’re selling bass
Bass (Right, nigga, what the lick be)
Yeah
[Verse 2]
I remember I ain’t had to have to scramblе, uh
Now it’s twenty-five hunnid for the flannеls (Yeah)
Flippin’ sixteens, that’s my angle
That’s a safe bet, I would take it on FanDuel (Thank you)
Give you samples on a sample (Uh)
Anytime I get a chance to how I handle
Let ’em chase the crumbs like Gretel and Hansel
I was on the rich like Max was on the Grand Cru
[Chorus]
But today we’re selling bass
Bass (Nigga, what the lick be)
Today we’re selling bass
Bass (Nigga, what the lick be)
[Outro]
Bass
Bass
Bass
But today we’re selling bass
