Lupe Fiasco

ahh, what up yall? yeaah
soundtrack, whats poppin' baby
If yall aint no,
I go by the name of..Lupe Fiasco
Representin' that first and fifteen
And This one right here
I dedicate this one right here
To all my homies
Out there grindin', u know what im sayin',
legally and illegally
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 and slipped
Landed on his hip and busted his lip
For a week he had to talk with a lisp like THISSSSSSSS
Now we could end the story right here
But shorty didn't quit
There was somethin' in the air
yeah He said it was somethin' so apealin'
He couldn't fight the feelin'
Somethin' about it
He knew he couldn't dout it
Couldn't understand it
Branded
from the first kickflip he landed
Labeled a misfit a bandit
KAKUNK KAKUNK KAKUNK
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
So, he kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, kick, push and coasssssst
And away he roll
Just a rebel to the world wit' no place to go
So, he kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, kick, push and coasssssst
So come and skate wit' me
Just a rebel lookin' for a place to be
So let's kick...and push...and coast
My man got a little older
Became a better roller
No helmet, hell bent on killin' himself, is what his mama said
But he was feelin' himself
got a little more swaggin' in his style
Met his girlfriend, she was clappin in the crowd
Love, is what what was happenin' to him now
He said I would marry you
But I'm engaged to these arials and varials
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, I got mine right here
So she took him to a spot
He didn't know about
Somethin' odd in the apartment parkin' lot
She said, i don't normally take dates in here
Security came and said I'm sorry there's no skatin' here
So they kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, and coasssssst
And away they roll
Just lover's in a twine wit' no place to go
So they kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, and coasssssst
So come skate wit' me
Just a rebel lookin' for a place to be
So let's kick...and push...and coast
Before he knew, he had a crew
They weren't no punks
Wit' their spitfire shirts
And SB dunks
They push until they can't skate no more
Office building lobbies weren't safe no more
And it wasn't like they wasn't gettin' chased no more
Just the freedom, it's better than breathin' they said
There was this skate route, they used to escape out
When things were crazy, they needed to break out
They hed, to any place wit stairs
Any good grinds, the world was there's
Any four wheels would take em' there
'Til the cops came and said there's no skatin' here
So they kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, and coasssssst
Just rebels without a cause, wit' no place to go
So they kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, and coasssssst
So come roll wit' me
Just a rebel, lookin' for a place to be
So let's kick...and push... and coast
