Kick, Push II Lyrics


Look at what we did
Came a long way from dirty ghetto kids
Yeah, look at what we did
We came a long way from dirty ghetto kids
Yeah, you know what it is, c'monWell, the cops didn't fine 'em for grindin', no
They kinda blew the vibe, figured it was time to go
Plus he had to be at home a long time ago
And he had made like ten dollars off the song he wroteIt read, 'A lil' hungry and need a lil' money
It's for my lil' sister and her lil' tummy'
Wasn't lyin' though, he didn't go buy hydro
Went to the restaurant and bought two guiros'Cause he knew they wasn't cookin' where he live
The cooca cooca coots now took him to the crib
A lil' hurt from the rail, he took into the ribs
Right pass the pushers who couldn't under dig"What's the use of pushin'? You ain't pushin' none of this
If I kick it with y'all, I'm just pushin' for a bid"
But what was on his mind and push him to the lid
Their best customer wasn't cookin' for her kidsGets up to pump, so he kick, push
Over his shoulders, he swore he'd never look

'Cause wasn't nothin' back there but the blackness
Life wasn't too attractiveYeah, and so he kick, push
Over his shoulders, he swore he'd never look
'Cause wasn't nothin' back there but the blackness
Life wasn't too attractiveYeah, you see his mom was a crack head
And his father couldn't be contacted
He knew what bein' different was, combated
Amongst the other things on his young, black headAnd 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 hitDaddy caught somethin' chasin' fatties, made her mama sick
Couldn't afford the medicine, pimped her to the pharmacist
And suicidal feelings would rise
Switch over the transition 'til her conquer itPays for mama's pills with a sponsorship
Her cell phone bill and a Honda kit
And that's why she skates with he
Someone to feel her pain and a place to beThat's why, that's why, that's why she kick, push
Over her shoulders, she swore she'd never look
'Cause wasn't nothin' back there but the blackness
Life wasn't too attractiveYeah, that's why she kick, push
Over her shoulders, she swore she'd never look
'Cause wasn't nothin' back there but the blackness
Life wasn't too attractiveYeah, a travelin' band of misfits and outcasts
Nod their heads from Misfits to Outkast
A lot of scars, they did this without pads
A lot of hearts who did this without dadsOne's father was filthy rich
Two was middle class and one was homeless
And then the paralyzed girl in the wheelchair
Who just liked to watch and that was the whole cliqueI think about 'em every time I see this old flick
L's taken in the park, in front of this old bench
They wrote on the back, "We thankful, 'Push, Kick'
Hope you make a video, the beat is so sick"Well, I did, I hope you seen it
It's on MTV, 'Soundtracks of Genius'
Love from Tony Hawk, beat from the Ice Creamaz
Before we put it out, had to pay the PhilippinesJust to show him how you kick, push
Over ya shoulders you swore you'd never look
'Cause wasn't nothin' back there but the blackness
Life wasn't too attractiveYeah, that's why you kick, push
Over ya shoulders, you swore you'd never look
'Cause wasn't nothin' back there but the blackness
Life wasn't too attractive, yeah

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Wasalu Muhammad Jaco (born February 16, 1982 in Chicago, Illinois), better known by his stage name Lupe Fiasco, is a Grammy Award-winning American hip-hop artist and producer. He first became known to the mainstream hip-hop community in 2005 when he appeared on Kanye West's album Late Registration on the track "Touch the Sky." In 2006 Lupe released his debut album, Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor on Atlantic Records, and in December 2007 he released his second full length album, Lupe Fiasco's The Cool. His next studio album, entitled Lasers, was released on March 8th 2011 after a protest against Atlantic's decision not to release it.

The Around My Way (Freedom Ain't Free) Songfacts reports that Fiasco’s first single off his fourth studio album, Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album Pt. 1 debuted on May 21, 2012. On "Around My Way (Freedom Ain't Free)," he spits rhymes about aspects of modern American life he doesn’t like such as "Suicide bombers and prosperity gospels, emaciated models, with cocaine and blood pouring out their nostrils” as well as socio-political problems in Ghana and the invasion of Iraq.

Lupe has previously been on label Epic with his group Da Pak and then signed a solo deal with Arista. His years at Arista only led to the 2003 promo single "Pop Pop" as well as guest appearances on singles from Tha' Rayne (2002's "Kiss Me" and 2003's "Didn't You Know") and K Fox (2003's "This Life"), then Arista folded in 2004 and Lupe was signed to Atlantic Records.
