Look at what we did, came a long way from Dirty Ghetto Kids (Uh, yeah)[00:00:00]
Look at what we did, came a long way from Dirty Ghetto Kids (Yeah)[00:00:05]
You know what it is (Haha, uh, uh, come on)[00:00:11]
When the cops didn't find him for grindin' though[00:00:22]
They kinda blew the vibe, figured it was time to go[00:00:25]
Plus, he had to at home a long time ago[00:00:27]
And he had made like ten dollars off the sign he wrote[00:00:30]
It read: "A little hungry, and need a little money,[00:00:33]
it's for my little sister, and her little tummy."[00:00:36]
Wasn't lyin' though didn't go buy hydro[00:00:39]
Went to the restuarant and bought two gyros[00:00:42]
'Cause he knew they wasn't cooking where he lived[00:00:44]
Da-kook-akook-akook's now took him to the crib[00:00:47]
A little hurt from the rail he took into the ribs[00:00:50]
Right bast the pushers who couldn't underdig[00:00:53]
"What's the use of pushin' if you ain't pushin' none of this"[00:00:56]
If i kick with y'all I'm just pushin' for a bit[00:00:58]
But, what was on his mind had pushed him to the lid[00:01:01]
They best customer wasn't cooking for a kid[00:01:04]
Yes sir[00:01:07]
So he kick, push[00:01:08]
Over his shoulders he swore he'd never look[00:01:10]
'Cause wasn't nothin' there but the blackness[00:01:13]
Life wasn't too attractive (Yeah, uh)[00:01:15]
And so he kick, push[00:01:19]
Over his shoulders he swore he'd never look[00:01:21]
'Cause wasn't nothin' there but the blackness[00:01:24]
Life wasn't too attractive (yeah)[00:01:27]
You see his mom was a crackhead and his father couldn't be contacted[00:01:30]
He lived with being different, was combated[00:01:35]
Amongst the other things on his young, black head[00:01:38]
And see, his girl was a white girl[00:01:41]
But, just cause she was white, see her life wasn't light-world[00:01:44]
She, too had the drama thick[00:01:47]
Had a daddy and a momma, but her daddy used to momma hit[00:01:50]
Daddy caught something, chasing fatties made her momma sick[00:01:52]
Couldn't afford the medicine, pimped it to the pharmacist[00:01:55]
As suicidal feelings would rise, swich over to trasitions, helped her conquer it[00:01:58]
Pays for her momma's pills with a sponsership[00:02:03]
A cell phone bill and a Honda kit Uh-huh[00:02:06]
And that's why she skates with him[00:02:09]
Someone to feel her pain and her place to be[00:02:12]
That's why, that's why, that's why she kick, push[00:02:15]
Over her shoulders she swore she'd never look[00:02:17]
'Cause wasn't nothin' there but the blackness[00:02:20]
Life wasn't too attractive (Yeah, uh)[00:02:23]
That's why she kick, push[00:02:26]
Over his shoulders she swore she'd never look[00:02:29]
'Cause wasn't nothin' there but the blackness[00:02:32]
Life wasn't too attractive (yeah)[00:02:34]
A traveling band of misfits and outcasts[00:02:38]
Knock their heads from Misfits to Outkast[00:02:40]
A lot of scars, they did this without pads[00:02:43]
A lot of hearts, who did this without dads[00:02:46]
One's father was fithy rich, two was middle class, and one was homeless[00:02:49]
Add in a paralyzed girl in a wheelchair who just liked to watch it,[00:02:54]
that was the whole clique[00:02:59]
I think about it everytime I see this old flick[00:03:00]
That was taken in the park, in front of this old bench[00:03:03]
They wrote on the back, "You thank for push, kick,[00:03:06]
hope you make a video, the beat is so sick."[00:03:08]
Well, I did, I hope you seen it It's on MTV, Soundtrakk's a genius[00:03:11]
Love from Tony Hawk, beat from the Ice Creamer's[00:03:17]
Before we out it out had to pay the fillipinas[00:03:20]
Just to show 'em how...[00:03:22]
You kick, push[00:03:24]
Over your shoulders you swore you'd never look[00:03:26]
'Cause wasn't nothin' there but the blackness[00:03:28]
Life wasn't too attractive (Yeah, uh)[00:03:31]
That's why you kick, push[00:03:35]
Over your shoulders you swore you'd never look[00:03:37]
'Cause wasn't nothin' there but the blackness[00:03:40]
Life wasn't too attractive (yeah)[00:03:42]
