Lupe Fiasco - Kick, Push lyrics

Ugh! (Woo) what up, y'all? yeah
(Soundtrakk, what's poppin', baby?)
Woo! (Ugh) if y'all ain't know
I go by the name of Lupe Fiasco
(Kick, push, coast)
Representing that First and Fifteenth, yeah
Uh and this one right here (Woo)
I dedicate this one right here (Uproxx)
To all my homies out there grinding
You know what I'm saying?
Legally and illegally, haha
You know what I'm talking about? (Woo)
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 thisss (Ugh)
Now we can end the story right here
But shorty didn't quit
It was something in the air (Ugh)
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
Branded, since the first kickflip he landed
Ugh (Woo)
Labeled a misfit, a bandit ka-kunk, ka-kunk
Ka-kunk 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 "It's 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
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 looking for a place to be

So let's kick (Ugh)
And push (Y yeah, y yeah yeah) and coast
Uh, uh, uh (Y yeah, y yeah yeah)

My man got a little older
Became a better roller
Yeah, no helmet, hell bent on killing himself
Is what his mama 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-what was happening to him now
Ugh! 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" (Woo)
"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 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 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 looking for a place to be

So let's kick (Ugh, ugh)
And push, yeah, yeah (Woo, woo)
And coast (yeah, ugh, Haha, 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'd head to any place with stairs
Any good grinds, the world was theirs, ugh!
And their four wheels would take them 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 (Ugh, ugh)
And push, yeah, yeah (Woo, woo) and coast
Ah ha, swanky (Mm, mm)
