Growing up it was the way of life
Choices were either skate or die
Got a board, it was blind
Skating all day up all night
Up all night
Kick and push skate or die
Crooked grinds skate or die
Powerslides skate or die
No-complys skate or die
Stairs and rails skate or die
Piggly Wiggly was the parking lot
Skating drinking smoking pot
Life was easy life was good
On my board and in my hood
In my hood
Kick and push skate or die
Crooked grinds skate or die
Powerslides skate or die
No-complys skate or die
Stairs and rails skate or die
Bradley road connected us all
Banded together whenever we'd fall
Orcutt California was the place to be
With our boards we lived free
We live free
Kick and push skate or die
Crooked grinds skate or die
Powerslides skate or die
No-complys skate or die
Stairs and rails skate or die
