LUPE FIASCO lyrics : "Kick, Push II"

Look at what we did, came a long way from Dirty Ghetto Kids (Uh, yeah)
Look at what we did, came a long way from Dirty Ghetto Kids (Yeah)
You know what it is (Haha, uh, uh, come on)


Well, the cops didn't find him for grindin', no
They kinda blew the vibe, figured it was time to go

Plus, he had to at home a long time ago
And he had made like ten dollars off the sign he wrote
It read:


"A little hungry, and need a little money, it's for my little sister, and her little tummy."
Wasn't lyin' though didn't go buy hydro

Went to the restuarant and bought two gyros

'Cause he knew they wasn't cooking where he live

The cooca cooca coots now took him to the crib
A little hurt from the rail he took into the ribs
Right bast the pushers who couldn't under dig


"What's the use of pushin' if you ain't pushin' none of this?
If I kick with y'all I'm just pushin' for a bit."

But, what was on his mind had pushed him to the lid
Their best customer wasn't cooking for a kid
Yes sir


So he kick, push
Over his shoulders he swore he'd never look

'Cause wasn't nothin' there but the blackness,
Life wasn't too attractive (Yeah, uh)
And so he kick, push

Over his shoulders he swore he'd never look
'Cause wasn't nothin' there but the blackness,
Life wasn't too attractive (yeah)


You see his mom was a crackhead
and his father couldn't be contacted

He knew that being different, was combated
Amongst the other things on his young, black head


And see his girl was a white girl
But, just cause she was white see her life wasn't light-world
She, too had the drama thick

Had a daddy and a mama, but her daddy used to mama hit

Daddy caught something, chasing fatties made her mama sick

Couldn't afford the medicine, pimped it to the pharmacist
And suicidal feelings would rise switch over to transitions, helped her conquer it
Pays for her momma's pills with a sponsorship

A cell phone bill and a Honda kit Uh-huh
And that's why she skates with him
Someone to feel her pain and her place to be


That's why, that's why, that's why she kick, push
Over her shoulders she swore she'd never look

'Cause wasn't nothin' there but the blackness
Life wasn't too attractive (Yeah, uh)
That's why she kick, push

Over his shoulders she swore she'd never look
'Cause wasn't nothin' there but the blackness
Life wasn't too attractive (yeah)


A traveling band of misfits and outcasts
Knod their heads from Misfits to Outkast

A lot of scars, they did this without pads
A lot of hearts, who did this without dads


One's father was fithy rich,
two was middle class, and one was homeless
Add in a paralyzed girl in a wheelchair who just liked to watch it, that was the whole clique


I think about it every time I see this old flick
L's taken in the park, in front of this old bench

They wrote on the back, "You thank for push, kick, hope you make a video, the beat is so sick."

Well, I did, I hope you seen it

It's on MTV, "Soundtrack of Genius"
Love from Tony Hawk, beat from the Ice Creamaz
Before we out it out had to pay the Philipines
Just to show 'em how...


You kick, push
Over your shoulders you swore you'd never look
'Cause wasn't nothin' there but the blackness
Life wasn't too attractive (Yeah, uh)
That's why you kick, push

Over your shoulders you swore you'd never look
'Cause wasn't nothin' there but the blackness
Life wasn't too attractive (yeah)
