Kick, Push lyrics

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

Yea 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

Labeled a misfit a bandit cucump cucump cucump

His neighbors couldn't stand it

So he was banished to the park started in the morning

Wouldn't stop till after dark

Yea when they said its getting late in here so I'm sorry young man there's no skating here

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

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 lets kick and push and coast

My man got a little older became a better a roller

Yea no helmet hell he'll end up 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

He said I would marry but I'm engaged to the 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

Something odd in a 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

So they kick push kick push kick push kick push coast

And away they roll jus lovers in the twine with no place to go

So they kick push kick push kick push kick push coast

So come and skate with me jus a rebel looking for a place to be

So lets kick and push and coast

Before he knew he had a crew

There wasn't no punk in they spitfire shirts and SB dunks

They would push till they could 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

And the skate 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

And they four wheels will take them there until the cops came and said there's no skating here

So they kick push kick push kick push kick push coast

And away they roll jus' rebels without a cause with no place to go

So they kick push kick push kick push kick push coast

So come roll with me jus' a rebel looking for a place to be

So just kick and push and coast
