"If I kick it with y'all, I'm just pushin' for a bid" But what was on his mind that pushed him to the lid— They best customer wasn't cookin' for her kids [Chorus 1] Yes, sir, pa-punp, so, he 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 Ugh, and so he 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 [Verse 2] You see, his mom was a crackhead And his father couldn't be contacted He lived with being different, was combatted 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, but riding switch over the transitions help her conquer it Pays for her 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 her pain and a place to be [Chorus 2] That's why, that's why, that's why, she 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 Ugh, that's why she 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 [Verse 3] A traveling band of misfits and outcasts (Outcasts) Nod they heads from Misfits to OutKast (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-class, and one was homeless (Ugh) 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, "'Tou, 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 [Chorus 3] Just to show 'em how you kick, push Over your shoulders, you swore you'd never look Cause wasn't nothing back there but the blackness Life wasn't too attractive, yeah Ugh, that's why you kick, push Over your shoulders, you swore you'd never look Cause wasn't nothing back there but the blackness Life wasn't too attractive, yeah
