lyrics

I was born in a city with nothing
Packed my bags and looked for something
Saw some guys, we smoked some green
They walked me around and showed me the scene
Skating parks and music jams
It all came together in Rotterdam

Where they ride ramps like beasts
(I get up, and then fall down)
Twisting boards 180 degrees
(My bones just twist around)
Love the people, love the scene
(Skate skate, music loud)
There's just one problem for me

I can't skate x4

Trapped myself on this board so long
Everybody's doing it, stil i'm doing it wrong
No technique, can't do no trick
Lose all my grip, kickflip on ma lip
Time after time and again I try
And I realise I'm not the guy

Who rides ramps like a beast
(I get up and then fall down)
Twists boards 180 degrees
(My bones just twist around)
Love the people, love the scene
(Skate skate, music loud)
There's only one problem for me

I cant skate x 8

I can't skate
