Lupe Fiasco - Kick Push II lyrics

[Produced By: Brandon Howard] [Speaking] 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 [Verse 1] Well 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 sign he wrote It read: "A lil hungry, and need a lil money It's for my lil sister and her lil tummy" Wasn't lying tho, he didn't go buy hydro Went to the restaurant and bought two gyros Cause he knew they wasn't cookin' where he live The kunk-kakunk-kakunks now took him to the crib A lil hurt from the rail he took into the ribs Right pa** 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 pushed him to the lid Their best customer wasn't cookin' for her kids Gets up to pump, so he [Hook 1] Kick, push Over his shoulders he swore he'd never look Cause wasn't nothing back there, but the blackness Life wasn't too attractive Yeah, uh, and so he [Verse 2] Yeah, you see his mom was a crack head And his father couldn't be contacted He lived with 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 chasin' fatties, made her mama sick Couldn't afford the medicine, pimped her to the pharmacist Had suicidal feelings, would ride Switch over the transition help her conquer it Pays for mama's pills with a sponsorship Her cell phone bill and a Honda kit Uh huh, and that's why she skates with he Someone to feel the pain and a place to be That's why, that's why, that's why, she [Hook 2] Kick, push Over her shoulders she swore she'd never look Cause wasn't nothing back there, but the blackness Life wasn't too attractive Yeah, uh, that's why she [Verse 3] Yeah, a traveling band of misfits and outcasts Nod they 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 the paralyzed girl in the wheelchair Who just liked to watch, and that was the whole clique I think about 'em every time 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, beef from the Ice Creamaz Before we put it out, had to pay the Filipinas Just to show 'em how you [Hook 3] Kick, push Over ya shoulders you swore you'd never look Cause wasn't nothing back there, but the blackness Life wasn't too attractive
