King Reginald - Kick Push [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]

A lot of people ask me
"Why did you start skating" and "How did you get into skating"
So... I wrote a little short story
About exactly how I did that

Kick Push!

[Verse 1]

See I was 15 years old when I got my first skateboard
My wifey just dumped me, you know I'm feeling hella bored
Got so much spare time, feeling like time square
Like broadway I'm acting up like "why should I care?"
But hey fuck it, this board brings the ruckus
Shame my first board was something that could be fucked with
It breaks on the second day, but hey I learned to ollie first
Not before I hit the deck, my confidence dispersed
Bought a complete
In hopes that it would complete
The empty hole in my soul that my ex did leave
Watching hop sag his pants I duplicated
I didn't start saggin' but instead I picked up skating
James said "dope idea and keep on goin'
Keep your mind off that ho and keep on growin'"
And so I head out
Head high
Time for another try
Oh yeah this rush got me skating till I fucking die

[Chorus]
And so I kick push x4
Coast!
And away I rolled, just a rebel to the world with no place to go
And so I kick push x4
Coast!
So come and skate with me just a rebel with no place to be
So lets kick ...
And push ...
And coast ...

[Verse 2]

I used to skate in the garage, just to get away from marge
And used the poles for support to learn the tricks that were hard
Ollie over cracks, while other kids are doing crack
And while the kids are dealing dope I'm tryna get these tricks dope but nope
Security tells no skating here
I said "nah its okay I'll be just over there"
The empty spot with no cars look the corner that's far
But no compromise, and so he sends me on my way
I gotta skate street now but that's okay
Because I meet this cool kid who was younger than I
But man on a board can this kid fly, he says
"Damn Reg how you get them ollie's so high"
I reply...
You gotta get the timing right
When you hear that pop sound jump with all your might
And so he teaches me to kick flip
And of course I bust my lip
Kickflip's now number 99 on my problems list

[Chorus]

I went from busting my lip to feeling I was the shit
Then saw Deli Status vids realised I wasn't shit
Chaz Ortiz's steeze pleased me, but even they bailed
Knew it couldn't be easy if even they failed
But who said what's worth it came perfect?
A craft or skill without 15% concentrated power of will, will never be ill
I planned to be ailing, wailing, first credit card the definition of failing
(YIKES)
Funny how in skate world the card is just as evil
Funny how a fake girl had the hearts of all my people
Plastic, barbie, right where her heart be
Her sticks and stones broke my bones but nothing touched these hard wheels

Cause I had Bones see

[Chorus]

[Outro]

And that's the story
Of how I kicked
And I pushed
Coast!
