SkateBoard or Die!

Make sure you turn this track up, listen, and gather round
This songs about my boy, his deeds, and how he was profound
This song is not about how my homie lost his life
But how he changed the lives around him
Everyday he was alive
Every time I think about my boy, it blows my mind
How these years have rolled by, since I've had him in my life
But this is your song, bro
I hope it makes you smile
This story starts back in time when I was just a child
Out here in these streets
Running wild
You used to leave a message on my machine
All the time, you'd say
I just called because I had you on my mind
So shoot ya boy a line
If you-if you feel inclined
I'm headed to the Southside now
But I'll be back by 9
If we don't connect tonight, I'll you in the morning time
On the way to school... you know... since I'm your ride
Don't forget the extra trucks for your skateboard this time
I've got some fresh sex wax for that bench we like to grind
We might be out all night, and I don't wanna have to drive
Tell you what, let hit that Metro
Meet me at the Park and Ride
I know we're taking turns with the bus fair every time
But it slipped my mind
So paper, rock, or scissors... best of 5
Kick flip for me on the half-pipe in the sky
We're thick as thieves up in these streets
With no concept of time
What I would give for just one last ride
I Come Alive 2020 skateboard or die
It was a Friday night
So best believe it's going down
Clocking miles upon our feet
Just you and me skating around
Don't forget the backup plan, in case we gotta bounce
You go your way, I'll go mine
We'll meet up three blocks to the south
Imma be your lookout while you're tagging -laying lines
And I know you'll watch my back while I go jack these street signs
This biggest thing that stuck with me
All throughout my life
Is how to be free and have fun with only petty crimes
We didn't know where we were going
But we figured out when we got there
And this was how we lived our lives
On Friday nights, without fear
All day, every day, bro
Let's go Skate
Kick flip for me on the half-pipe in the sky
We're thick as thieves up in these streets
With no concept of time
What I would give for just one last ride
I Come Alive with that 2005 skateboarder life
There's Tranquility Park when the sun is going down
Because it's well lit in the dark
Despite the homelessness around
Your mom made a Sam's run, before you could come out
No, that's a good thing, let's pass these extra sandwiches about
Even to this day, the greatest lesson I have found
Was how you lived like Nino Brown without spending a dime
You always blew my mind, every single time
You'd turn a stranger to a friend with a sandwich and your smile
You always blew my mind, every single time
You'd turn a stranger to a friend with a sandwich and your smile
Kick flip for me on the half-pipe in the sky
We're thick as thieves up in these streets
With no concept of time
What I would give for just one last ride
I Come Alive 2005 skateboarder life
Let's hit that skateboard, or that BMX
Break out those 4- wheelers, but don't wreck our necks
I don't know what you talkin' bout
But, bro I'm having a great time
Let's go hit that parking lot
Who knows what we might find
Let's live our lives by what we put out from the inside
And not be bothered if they judge us from the outside
Let's live our lives by what we put out from the inside
And look past them if they judge us from the outside
