Kick Push II 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 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 lived
Da-kook-akook-akook's now took him to the crib
A little hurt from the rail he took into the ribs
Right bast the pushers who couldn't underdig
"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
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' 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 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 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, swich over to trasitions, 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 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
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 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 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' there but the blackness
Life wasn't too attractive (Yeah, uh)

This pretty much the msg i get from both kick push songs on the album.
This song is pretty surface, so not too much need to interpret, but o man. Hearing this right after the first kick push, it's so good. Its the look into each's crappy lives, and talks about how skating and each other helped. Much rougher that KP1. Skating is such a escape/haven in this one. So good.
yeah not too much to interpret with this one...but i really love this song because of the way that it captures what it means to be a skater. sometimes the board under your feet is the only thing that feels right in life, and thats ok. it also makes me wanna go skate and i like that.
yea this song is amazing maybe not everyone can connect with the same struggles felt by the people in the song but everyone who rides a skateboard knows what its like to forget w.e it is thats trouble in your life. i also like the little skate reference in the second verse "switch over the transitions" thought that was pretty clever
I like the way this song and Kick Push (I) complement eachother. While the the other one shows the 'good side' of the skaters' lives, this shows the bad. IT talks about how he doesn't have any money for food, his mom being a crackhead, his girlfriend using skating as a means to pay for her mother's pills and to have someone to share her pain with. The third talks about his friends' financial situations, and as a sort of remembrance for them.
Also, I've listened to this song hundreds of times, and JUST NOW realized what the last lines of verse one meant.
"What was on his mind and pushed him to the lid, Their best customer wasn't cookin for a kid"
The line's actually '...wasn't cookin' for her kids,' talking about his mom, as a reference to both the earlier line " He knew they wasn't cookin' where he lived,' and the first line of the second verse "See, his mom was a crackhead..."
Probably blatantly obvious to everyone else, but it had to be said.
Songs pretty straight forward but I think the reason he made it was for the people who didn't get what the first kick push was about he probably felt it needed to be a little more literal for those who's head the original went over.
long overdue but i think it should be
"love from Tony Hawk, beef from the Ice Creamers"
cause when Lu first came out, he was called a poser and Terry Kennedy, lead of Team Ice Cream called him out, made his own song with two other members of Team Ice Cream and said if Lupe can skate, then he could rap too (but TK sucked)
