[Intro] Yeah Yo, we do this for real, man Ayy, PLYBCK, PLYBCK music (PLYBCK), PLYBCK music, PLYBCK music Yeah [Verse 1] I used to wanna be a pro skater Was a bad little sixth grader Had to roll around on weekends waking up all the neighbors Or at the skate park, we beefing with rollerbladers So deep up in this spot, we knew that they couldn't fade us I had a hand-me-down that I would skate from my mans I used the superglue the laces 'fore I skated my Vans Parking-lot sessions, never made it to class (Uh-uh) We'd just show up for attendance and dash Learned to ollie on the second day, because the first day my arm broke Couple months later, learned to grind outside of Costco Fifteen, mixing the weed with cigar smoke when Lopez was kick pushing, but he probably pushed Mongo Mama going nuts 'cause my sneakers are done And all the tickets I was getting if the spot was a bust I say one more try, but one's never enough 'Cause fuck security 'til the cops show up [Chorus] Yeah We were rolling through the city and we're deep Yeah Me and the homies used to push in the streets And every other week I used to fuck up my sneaks I gotta get the trick clean and I'll leave And you know we gon' slide Slide, slide, slide And you know we gon' slide Slide, slide I done spent my whole life outside, 'cause all that mattered was us catching a vibe [Verse 2] Look, I stayed out late, I hated going home 'Cause I was coming from a broken home Mama knew I traded my father figure for broken bones Broke my fingers and my toes, even broke my nose I broke my ankles (Stop lying), man, I broke 'em both You ain't know a trick until you landing in bolts And I don't do no double flips 'cause style matters the most In the wintertime, man, we had to shovel the snow And when it dried, we pushed around with thermals under the clothes Then the homie started fucking with hoes as someone's hustling If I was in the streets, I was grinding on some crusty shit Or making "sponsor me" tapes or getting clips or finding a new spot that nobody really fucked with yet Put a little wax on like Mr. Miyagi I'ma do the trick until I stop landing it sloppy 'Cause this is a public park so fuck damaging property, middle finger if you're trying to stop me [Chorus] Yeah We were rolling through the city and we're deep Yeah Me and the homies used to push in the streets And every other week I used to fuck up my sneaks I gotta get the trick clean and I'll leave And you know we gon' slide Damaging property, you stay here with me And you know we gon' slide Slide, slide, slide Yeah And you know we gon' slide Yeah I done spent my whole life outside 'cause all that mattered was us catching a vibe
