verse
Soundtrack what's popping baby
Y'all ain't know, I go by the name of Lupe Fiasco
Representing that first and fifteen
I dedicate this one right here
To all my homies out there grinding
verse
Now we can end the story right here
But shorty didn't quit there was something in the air
Yea, he said it was something so appealing
He couldn't fight the feeling
He knew he couldn't doubt it
Brand it, just the first kickflip he land it
Uh, labeled a misfit, a bandit
His neighbors couldn't stand it so
He was banished to the park
Started in the morning wouldn't stop 'til after dark
Yea, when they said, It's getting late in here
So I'm sorry young man there's no skating here
chorus
And so he kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, coast
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
Looking for a place to be
So let's kick, and push, and coast
verse
My man got a little older
Yea, no helmet, hellbent on killing himself
That's 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 was happening to him now
verse
Uh, he said I would marry you
But I'm engaged to these arials and variels
And I don't think this board is strong enough to carry two
She said Bow, I weigh 120 pounds
Now, let me make one thing clear
I don't need to ride yours
So she took him to a spot
Something odd in the 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
chorus
And so they kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, coast
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
Looking for a place to be
So let's kick, and push, and coast
verse
Yeah, before he knew he had a crew
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
verse
Any escape route they used to escape out
They head to any place with stairs
Uh, and their four wheels would take them there
Until the cops came and said, there's no skating here
chorus
And so they kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, kick push, coast
Just rebels without a cause with no place to go
And so they kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, kick push, coast
Looking for a place to be
So let's kick, and push, and coast
