Lupe Fiasco - Kick Push, Part 2 lyrics

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) When the cops didn't find him for grindin' though 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 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 restaurant and bought two gyros 'Cause he knew they wasn't cooking where he lived Da-kook-akook-akook's now took him to the crib A little hurt from the rail he took into the ribs Right past the pushers who couldn't underdig "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 bit But, what was on his mind had pushed him to the lid They 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' back 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' back 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 lived with being different, was combatted 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 momma, but her daddy used to momma hit Daddy caught something, chasing fatties made her momma sick Couldn't afford the medicine, pimped it to the pharmacist As suicidal feelings would rise, switch over to transitions, helped her conquer it Pays for her momma's pills with a sponsership A cell phone bill and a Honda kit Uh-huh And that's why she skates with he 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' back 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' back there but the blackness Life wasn't too attractive (yeah) A traveling band of misfits and outcasts Knock 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 filthy rich, two was middle cla**, 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 everytime I see this old flick That was 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, Soundtrakk's a genius Love from Tony Hawk, beat from the Ice Creamer's Before we out it out had to pay the fillipinas Just to show 'em how... You kick, push Over your shoulders you swore you'd never look 'Cause wasn't nothin' back 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' back there but the blackness Life wasn't too attractive (yeah)
