Kicks

My kicks, my kicks, my kicks
That's how I get my kicks
Handprints in the concrete
They run, they run
Like young birds with the red cheeks
Always barefoot on the sea glass
Sharp ones, sharp ones
They don't learn when they cut 'cause
What's dust to you is gold to me, (gold to me)
But we're just different books to read
Where every single chapter
Is another cliffhanger
Oh your thrills ain't my thrills
They ain't chasing dollar bills
I just made a beat that sick (that's how I get my kicks)
When my thoughts turn to rhyme
Yeah, goosebumps never lie
You might not get down to this but
But, that's how I get my kicks
(Oh) my kicks
(Oh) my kicks
(Oh) yeah
That's how I get my kicks
Ten miles in my converse
They'd see, they'd see
That flip side got it's own perks
Yeah your mainstream runs against mine
But we, but we
Still nod heads at the same time
What's dust to you is gold to me, (gold to me)
But we're just different books to read
Where every single chapter
Is another cliffhanger
Oh your thrills ain't my thrills
They ain't chasing dollar bills
I just made a beat that sick (that's how I get my kicks)
When my thoughts turn to rhyme
Yeah, goosebumps never lie
You might not get down to this but
But that's how I get my kicks
(Oh) my kicks
(Oh) my kicks
(Oh) yeah
That's how I get my kicks
(Oh) my kicks
(Oh) my kicks
(Oh) yeah
That's how I get my
(My kicks) house lighted
(My kicks) so quiet
(My kicks) but there's voices singing in my choir
(That's how I get my kicks)
(My kicks) house lighted
(My kicks) so quiet
But there's voices singing in my choir
Oh your thrills ain't my thrills
They ain't chasing dollar bills
I just made a beat that sick (that's how I get my kicks)
When my thoughts turn to rhyme
Yeah, goosebumps never lie
You might not get down to this but
But that's how I get my kicks
(Oh) my kicks
(Oh) my kicks
(Oh) yeah
That's how I get my kicks
(Oh) my kicks
(Oh) my kicks
(Oh) yeah
That's how I get my kicks
