Watsky - Pumped Up Kicks Remix Lyrics






I've been on the blacktop
Steady throwing elbows
Ever since I was was in corduroys and velcros
Ever since you did your impression of Melrose
Pace
a giggling gaggle of Tickle Me Elmos
I ate some wheaties and graduated to shell toes
Running from a bully, man I'm thinking hell no
chain me to a tree, I'm waiting for the bulldozer
You only woulda seen me skate away if hell froze
May not be bigger but you're never gonna pick on me
You're Cedric Diggory. I'm Nicholas Nickleby
You better pick a team
There's no in between
You want a nickelbag
You want some nicotine
You wanted a fix
I will never be your goldmine
Taking my kicks
And I'm hanging em over the phoneline
So you can find me, posted feeling so fine

Robert's got a quick hand
He'll look around the room, he won't tell you his plan
He's got a rolled cigarette
Hanging out his mouth, he's a cowboy kid
Yeah, he found a six-shooter gun
In his dad's closet with a box of fun things
And I don't even know what
But he's coming for you, yeah, he's coming for you, wait

All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet

At Buena Vista elementary in second grade
One whistle is when recess ends
Two whistles is an earthquake drill
Three means every kid better hit the deck
Unless you want to catch a stray bullet or a ricochet from a fight across the chainlink fence
I know that I don't look it but grew up in the middle of the city where only the quick make friends
A kid in Frisco
navigating Lombard
no On Star
I'm on BART
no lawn darts
not saying I'm hard
But I got street val for my Pokemon cards
Better put me onto Pawn Stars
And I'll Barter like my gramma when she wants art
Every block or two I skate around another beggar
Leaning on a cop car
Baked as a pop tart

All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet

    I loved hearing all of the stories and suddenly all of the tiny details being whole life experiences, that being said, wounded healer killed me all day when I read the chapter about saul

    w.... ....

  39. H.... B....

    I've looked everywhere for this.

  40. P.... ....

    I was about to get pissed that they stole this song but nah it's a remix cool cool. The thing I saw it on didn't have "remix" in the title so I got scared.

  41. A.... ....

    I love this. Pumped Up Kicks holds a shit ton of childhood memories and with Watsky doing something like this, it's perfect.

    A.... ....

    the song was 2011-2012 hyped... i think he's 12 xD

    K.... L....

    Katy Lawson Now your comment is old as well

  55. P.... ....

    so fucking good

  56. K.... ....

    I got my street val from my magic cards...

    K.... ....

    Why do all the people say "Yugioh is better. No one knows what Magic is" having never played Magic? It looks like you like Pokemon better too based on your Youtube channel...

    K.... ....

    I like both. Why does one need to be better even though they are the same thing? A card game. I like yugioh and I think the magic cards are really cool as well. Saw them as a kid but never understood the game though. 

    K.... ....

    @Kennedy640  , that yugo game is a joke compared to the gathering

    K.... ....

    @smellyhusband ikr

    K.... ....

    Back in the day magic the gathering got you beat up not give you street cred.

    mashup gorrillaz and pumped up kicks

  80. M.... ....

    reminds me of white panda

  81. S.... ....

    I'm getting a "Gorillaz" vibe from this song. ^^

  82. c.... r....

    don't, they are to stupid to save.

  83. K.... C....

    Oh yeah, public schools are also socialism, so if you go to a public school you probably shouldn't diss it.

  84. K.... C....

    How can you call him socialist? Even socialists say he isn't socialist. Also, I'm just going to assume you're republican, seeing as how you dislike Obama so much I doubt you would be democrat. Anyway, republicans have no right calling Obama socialist seeing as how they are the #1 supporter of the US military, which happens to be a socialist military.

  85. f.... ....

    AWSOME went off of watsky for a while then listened to this and im hooked again

  86. D.... F....

    I'm sorry, I love Watsky but I hate this band. This is garbage!

  87. K.... M....

    I actually do. It's right there.

  88. A.... C....

    Gtfo Jew.

  89. L.... ....

    YOU DONT SAY

  90. A.... ....

    You my friend, Are Jebus

  91. W.... ....

    Who els thinks Watsky and Maclomore should do a rap together?

  92. T.... ....

    i think Foster the People is garbage but Watsky is fantastic so i am torn here

  93. S.... W....

    Two of my favourite artists coming together!

  94. j.... p....

    awesome.

  95. m.... b....

    'maybe if we're nice to them they won't take down our unauthorized remix' omg ily

  96. T.... ....

    Have you seen Across the Universe? All of the remixes they did of Beetles songs were great.

  97. I.... ....

    do you know what a socialist is?

  98. s.... j....

    it even says it in the lyrics

  99. r.... ....

    THANK YOU!!!! I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TELL PEOPLE THAT FOREVER!!!! LIKE OMG I THOUGHT ITWAS OBVIOUS!!!!!
