[Intro]
Uh, what up ya'll
Soundtrack what's poppin' baby
Ya'll ain't know
I go by the name of
Lupe Fiasco
Representin' that 1st & 15
Yea
And this one right here
I dedicate this one right here
To all my homies out there grindin' (ya know what I'm saying)
Legally and Illegally
Ha
You know what I'm talkin' 'bout
So, check it out

[Verse 1]
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 bust 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 somethin' so appealing
He couldn't fight the feelin'
Somethin' about it
He knew he couldn't doubt it
Couldn't understand it
Brand it, since his first kickflip he land it
Uh
Labeled a misfit, abandoned
Ca-kunk, ca-kunk, kunk
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 he said it's getting late in here
So "I'm sorry young man there's no skating here"
 [bad word] 
So we Kick, Push Kick, Push Kick, Push Kick, Push Coast
And the way he roll just a rebel to the world with no place to go
So we Kick, Push Kick, Push Kick, Push Kick, Push Coast [bad word] and skate with me, just a rebel looking for a place to be
So let's Kick, and Push, and Coast

[Verse 2]
Uh, uh ,uh
My man got a lil older became a better roller (yea)
No helmet, hellbent on killin' himself, was what his momma said
But he was feelin' himself
Got a lil more swagger in his style
Met his girlfriend, she was clappin' 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 2
She said bow I weigh 120 pounds, now
Lemme 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
Somewhere 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"
 [bad word] 
So they Kick, Push Kick, Push Kick, Push Kick, Push Coast
And the way they roll just lovers in the twine with no place to go
So they Kick, Push Kick, Push Kick, Push Kick, Push Coast [bad word] and skate with me, just a rebel looking for a place to be
So let's Kick
 
-------------------------------------
Have you asked yourself now just how well 
You understand our human nature 
Hard to find the answer when we’ve [bad word] 
far estranged from mother nature 
And we end up killing the life that 
we can’t sustain ourselves without 
You know we’re so intent on filling our pockets 
Just cannot help but cast all doubts upon all 
All our facts and fictions 
We’ve gotta sort heads from tails 
‘Cuz this is not a game 
And we’re in need [bad word] for living 
Or an intervention 
We lost the race 
Just as soon as we began to take 
More than what we end up giving 

And all’s for sale 
Just read the signs 
And our decay means 
it’s time to say 
It’s high time to change our ways 
From faking its great 
Not gonna take, not gonna take 
Damage done 
Now time for healing 

Hear the sighs from heaven 
Hear the sighs right here 
Feel the wave [bad word] 
Not gonna take not gonna take not 
Damage done, now time for healing
