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

She said bow I weigh a hundred twenty pounds now
Lemme make one thing clear

Before he knew he had a crew
That weren't no punk
In they spitfire shirts and S-B dunks
They would push
till they couldn't skate no more
Office building
lobbies weren't safe no more
And it wasn't like they weren't
getting chased no more
Just the freedom is better
than breathing they said
And escape routes
they used to escape out
When things got crazy they needed to break out
To any place with stairs
any good grinds the world was theirs uh
And they four wheels would take them there
Till the cops came and said
There's no skating here
So they kick push kick push Kick push kick push coast
And the way they roll just rebels

So they kick push kick push Kick push kick push coast
So come roll with me
