[Verse 1] First got it when he was six Didn't know any tricks Matter fact First time he got on it he slipped Landed on his hip and bust his lip For a week he had to talk with a lisp Like this Now we can end the story right here But shorty didn't quit it was something in the air Yea He said it was somethin' so appealing He couldn't fight the feelin' Somethin' about it He knew he couldn't doubt it Couldn't understand it Brand it, since his first kickflip he land it Uh Labeled a misfit, abandoned Ca-kunk, ca-kunk, kunk His neighbors couldn't stand it, so He was banished to the park Started in the morning wouldn't stop till after dark Yea When he said it's getting late in here So "I'm sorry young man there's no skating here"
[Chorus] So we Kick, Push Kick, Push Kick, Push Kick, Push Coast And the way he roll just a rebel to the world with no place to go So we Kick, Push Kick, Push Kick, Push Kick, Push Coast So come and skate with me, just a rebel looking for a place to be So let's Kick, and Push, and Coast
[Verse 2] Uh, uh ,uh My man got a lil older became a better roller (yea) No helmet, hellbent on killin' himself, was what his momma said But he was feelin' himself Got a lil more swagger in his style Met his girlfriend, she was clappin' in the crowd Love is what was happening to him now, uh He said I would marry you but I'm engaged to these aerials and varials And I don't think this board is strong enough to carry 2 She said bow I weigh 120 pounds, now Lemme make one thing clear I don't need to ride yours I got mine right here So she took him to a spot He didn't know about Somewhere in the apartment parking lot, she said I don't normally take dates in here Security came and said "I'm sorry there's no skating here"
[Chorus] So they Kick, Push Kick, Push Kick, Push Kick, Push Coast And the way they roll just lovers in the twine with no place to go So they Kick, Push Kick, Push Kick, Push Kick, Push Coast So come and skate with me, just a rebel looking for a place to be So let's Kick
------------------------------------- Have you asked yourself now just how well You understand our human nature Hard to find the answer when we’ve become far estranged from mother nature And we end up killing the life that we can’t sustain ourselves without You know we’re so intent on filling our pockets Just cannot help but cast all doubts upon all All our facts and fictions We’ve gotta sort heads from tails ‘Cuz this is not a game And we’re in need of rules for living Or an intervention We lost the race Just as soon as we began to take More than what we end up giving
And all’s for sale Just read the signs And our decay means it’s time to say It’s high time to change our ways From faking its great Not gonna take, not gonna take Damage done Now time for healing
Hear the sighs from heaven Hear the sighs right here Feel the wave that’s coming Not gonna take not gonna take not Damage done, now time for healing
