Kick, Push

Ugh, 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 First and Fifteenth, yeah, uh

And this one right here

I dedicate this one right here

To all my homies out there grindin'

You know what I'm sayin'?

Legally and illegaly, haha (Uproxx)

You know what I'm talkin' about?

So, check it out, uh

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

Matter 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 something in the air

Yeah, he said it was something so appealing

He couldn't fight the feeling, something about it

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

Since the first kick flip he landed, uh

Labeled a misfit, a bandit (ka-kump, ka-kump, ka-kump)

His neighbors couldn't stand it

So he was banished to the park

Started in the morning, wouldn't stop 'til after dark

Yeah, when they said its getting late in here

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

And so he kick, push, kick, push

Kick, push, kick, push, coast

And away he rolled

Jus' 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 looking for a place to be

So let's kick

And push

And coast

My man got a little older, became a better a roller

Yeah, no helmet, hell bent on killing himself

Is what his momma said but he was feeling himself

Got a little more swagger in his style

Met his girlfriend, she was clapping in the crowd

Love is what was happening 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 modern apartment parking lot

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

Security came and said "I'm sorry, there's no skating here"

And so they kick, push, kick, push

Kick, push, kick, push, coast

And away they rolled

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, looking for a place to be

So let's kick

And push

And coast

Yeah, uh (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 'til they couldn't skate no more

Office building lobbies wasn't safe no more

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

Just the freedom was better than breathing they said (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

Any good grinds, the world was theirs, uh

And they four wheels would take 'em there

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

And so they kick, push, kick, push

Kick, push, kick, push, coast

And away they rolled

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 looking for a place to be

So let's kick

And push

And coast

Haha (swanky)
