- Its all about skateboarding. U kick ur foot out, the push against the ground to gain speed, then you coast along 'so he kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, cooooast'.
Provided to YouTube by Atlantic Records Kick, Push Lupe Fiasco Kick Push ℗ 2006 Atlantic Recording Corporation for the United States and WEA International. Kick Push was written by Lupe Fiasco, and can be easily mistaken as a song about moving a skateboard. However this song contains a hidden message. (Lupe is the man). When he is kicking, yeah he is. Fiasco covers a wide variety of subjects on the album. The opening track begins with Fiasco chanting the opening lines of the Qur'an in Arabic. The following track, 'Real', is a reflection of 'making music of which he doesn't have to be ashamed'. 'Kick, Push', the album's lead single, is about a young male and his love for skateboarding.

'Daydreamin'' is the third single taken from Lupe Fiasco's album Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor (2006) and features soul singer Jill Scott.
Background[edit]
The single is based on a sample of 'Daydream in Blue' by I Monster, a song that samples 'Daydream' by Gunter Kallmann Choir (which in itself is a cover, the original being written by The Wallace Collection). The song's lyrics depict an adventure being experienced through the eyes of a robot. The song's lyrics are also a critique of pop culture, especially of the current state of hip hop music.
The song was released in the UK and US on September 11, 2006; however, a download-only version was available one week earlier and charted at #46 (without any physical sales).
In 2008 'Daydreamin' won the Grammy Award for Best Urban/Alternative Performance. It was ranked the best rap song of 2006 by many publications. Civilizations 6 torrent codex.
This song was also featured in an AT&T commercial during May 2008 for a Samsung phone.[citation needed]
Music video[edit]
A music video was created for the song; it shows Lupe Fiasco at a record store, where he meets and befriends a robot. Jill Scott is shown in a video projected on the wall, singing with a flower in her hair in a manner reminiscent of Billie Holiday.
