SKATE OR DIE!

Gotta land that trick, no matter what the outcome is Grab a handle, light a candle, may that Spirit now come in Fill me to the rim, with coordination and how to spin Every moves according tothe book of Life and how to win All I wanna be, is jammin' on a fast ride Snaggin' every trick that's been landed, and some they haven't tried In the street, in the slalom and the half-pipe Some say I got tunnel vision, well, they're half right You know what I'm sayin' B? Ride! There just isn't any other way for me, skate or die! Yeah, I know it sounds a little extreme, ride! But riders know what I mean, skate or die! What's up for today? My nemisis the switch tre Caught it on the flat, but I want it in a big way Catch it down a few stairs, and I'll see sick day Any sets under ten steps gets ix-nayed Here I am again, setting up to land it now I even pop enough to make my dad proud I leaned back a little too much to drag it down Last thing I saw was the light, and then I blacked-out Wow, must've been dream, ride! I always land clean, skate or die! That was kinda scary though, right? Ride! Almost took one for the team, skate or die! Must skate from now until dead That's all I'm thinking in the hospital bed, one time my Nostril bled, but that was nothing compared, to breaking Sixteen bones just from jumping some stairs But those bones will mend, and I'll take 'em those steps again Get my set-up trick done quick and kick that flipper like a fin My surf is masonite, with a metal rim Three-five foot waves, nice, I'm takin' a swim Aquatic workouts, work well and keep me trim For cardiovascular the city is my gym. So What's up Doc? I had to stop. When can I begin? Boy, you'll be lucky if you ever walk again Uh, sure Doctor. Ride! You don't seem to understand, skate or die! I had the switch tre' down that 12-stair, ride! Once I'm better, I'm going back there, skate or die! Boy, you compressed eight vertabrae, ride! And damn near collapsed a lung too. Skate or die! You also managed to break a collarbone, ride! Your right femur and six ribs. Skate or die! You need to to quit thinking about skateboarding and get yourself a Live-in girlfriend who will wipe your ass for the next two months Doc, women and skateboards don't mix. Skateboarding is like Myspace to girlfriends, if you dabble in it for a few minutes it's all Good, but once you hit four hours a day they look at you strange Like you're a loser, and start checking your profile friends for Suspicious characters who leave unsolicited sexy comments Before you can get there quick enough to erase 'em, and then the nights ruined Boy you are never gonna skate again Whatever dude
