Kick, Push

Uh

What up, y'all?

Yeah

Soundtrakk, what's poppin', baby?

Y'all ain't know

I go by the name of Lupe Fiasco

Representin' that 1st & 15th, yeah, uh (Coast to coast)

And this one right here

I dedicate this one right here

To all my homies out there grindin' (What up?)

You know what I'm sayin'?

Legally and illegally (Uprise)

You know what I'm talkin' 'bout?

So check it out, uh

First got it when he was six, didn't know any tricks

Matter of fact, first time he got on it, he slipped

Landed on his hip and busted his lip

For a week he had to talk with a lisp, like this

Now we can end the story right here

But shorty didn't quit, it was somethin' in the air

Yeah, he said it was somethin' so appealin'

He couldn't fight the feelin', somethin' about it

He knew he couldn't doubt it, couldn't understand it

Branded since the first kickflip he landed, uh

Labeled a misfit, a bandit (Ca-kunk, ca-kunk, ca-kunk)

His neighbors couldn't stand it

So, he was banished to the park

Started in the mornin', wouldn't stop till after dark

Yeah, when they said, "It's gettin' late in here

So I'm sorry, young man, there's no skatin' here"

And so he kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, coast

And away he rolled

Just a rebel to the world with no place to go

And so he kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, coast

So come and skate with me

Just a rebel lookin' for a place to be

So let's kick

And push

And coast

Uh, uh, uh, uh (Yeah, y-y-y-yeah, yeah)

My man got a little older, became a better roller

Yeah, no helmet, hellbent on killin' his self

Is what his mama said, but he was feelin' himself

Got a little more swagger in his style

Met his girlfriend, she was clappin' in the crowd

Love is what what was happenin' to him now

Uh, he said, "I would marry you

But I'm engaged to these aerials and varials

And I don't think this board is strong enough to carry two"

She said, "Bow, I weigh a hundred and twenty pounds

Now, let me make one thing clear

I don't need to ride yours, I got mine right here"

So she took him to a spot he didn't know about

Some odd end apartment parkin' lot

She said, "I don't normally take dates in here"

Security came in, said, "I'm sorry, there's no skatin' here"

And so they kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, coast

And away they roll

Just lovers intertwined with no place to go

And so they kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, coast

So come and skate with me

Just a rebel lookin' for a place to be

So let's kick (Uh, uh)

And push (Yeah, yeah)

And coast

Yeah, uh (Aha, swanky)

Yeah, yeah

Before he knew, he had a crew that wasn't no punk

In they Spitfire shirts and SB Dunks

They would push till they couldn't skate no more

Office buildin' lobbies wasn't safe no more

And it wasn't like they wasn't gettin' chased no more

Just the freedom was better than breathin', they said

An escape route they used to escape out

When things got crazy, they needed to break out

They head to any place with stairs (They head)

Any good grinds, the world was theirs, uh (Theirs)

And they four wheels would take 'em there

Until the cops came and said, "There's no skatin' here"

And so they kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, coast

And away they roll

Just rebels without a cause with no place to go

And so they kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, coast

So come roll with me

Just a rebel lookin' for a place to be

So let's kick (Uh, uh)

And push (Yeah, yeah)

And coast

Aha, swanky (Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm)
