Uh, what up y'all!
What's popping baby?
Y'all ain't know, I go by the name of Odd Della R.
Representing that Kadic and Lyoko
Yeah, uh!
And this one right here
I dedicate this song over here
To all my people out there grinding
You know what I'm saying?
Getting that love thing on
Hahaha..
You know what I'm talking about?
So, check it out
-Verse 1-
First tried it back in grade six
A victim of his sisters' tricks
Tried telling a girl he was oh so pimp
By then she let the hand slip
Gone busted his lip
For a week he had to talk with a lisp
Like THISSSSS
Now we can end the story right here
But lil' man didn't quit there was something in the air
Yeah, he said it was something so appealing
He couldn't fight the feeling
Something about it
He knew he couldn't doubt it
Couldn't understand it
Asked another girl for a kiss so he could land it
Uh, labeled a suave girlie bandit
a smooch, a smooch, a smooch!
His family couldn't stand it since
He got up with the love spark
Started in the morning wouldn't stop 'til after dark
Yea, when they said, "Boy, no more girls in here
Young man's gonna go far away from here"
-Chorus-
And so he kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, coast
And away he rolled
A lil' Casanova with a new place to go
And so he kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, coast
So come and roll with me
Just a lover
Looking for a brand new queen
So let's kick...and push...and coast
-Verse 2-
The man got a little older
Got a little bolder
Going after the girls he would see himself
His friends all clowned him but it was good for his health
Tried to impress them all with his new style
Met his real good friend outside of Kadic grounds
Bam! The girl was real on this Earth now
Uh, he was a big part of her rescue
But being his new squeeze wasn't part of his view
And he wanted her and Einstein to be a couple so cute
He's like wow, she's good but kick the thought out
Now, let me make one thing clear
Those two were just good friends
She got her man over here
One night two dudes came to the spot
They shouldn't know about
The crew hiding the secret and they would get caught
Lil Casanova busted out the savoir faire
Got caught kissing the good friend, the one with the pink hair
-Chorus-
And so he kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, coast
And away he go
Trying to keep a secret so his friend don't know
And so he kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, coast
So come and roll with me
Just a lover
Confused as to what this means
So let's kick...and push...and coast
-Verse 3-
Before he knew he was askew
It was just his luck
He fell in love with her
And was now stuck
Tried suppressing feelings but couldn't do it no more
Went and left notes on her dorm room door
Came back the next day and saw it fall to the floor
There's a reason she wasn't leaving Jer's bed
He got her out so they could go out
Drove Casanova nuts
He needed a new route
He thought that this wasn't so fair
Just one lil kiss
Put his heart in despair
Uh, he was still dating the girls over there
But he really wanted one, the girl with pink hair
-Chorus-
And so he kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, kick push, coast
And away he rolled
Wishing that the girl would be his to hold
And so they kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, kick push, coast
That song was all about me
Just a lover
Wishing she could be my bride to be
So let's kick...and push...and coast
Author's Notes
Story #10 is done. This marks a milestone as I have hit a story count in the double digits. 10 fics in 6 months. And if there's one way to mark this milestone, the one no one would have expected (especially myself) is that the honor of story #10 would go to a songfic. Some notes are probably in order.
-Songfic: I don't read songfics. I don't have anything against them, personally. I just don't know too many of the songs referenced offhand. That said, I have no idea how or why the idea came into my head to do one. I just know that the idea rolled into my head while I was eating lunch one day. The song was playing in the background and the idea for the fic suddenly popped. I had doubts about writing it but when the idea never left my head, I figured writing it out would be the best way to get rid of it.
-Kick, Push: Having glanced through some of the songs people used for songfics, I see that no one has ever attempted to do one based on a hip-hop/rap song. That intrigued me and helped to push me to do this one. Aside from that, I really like this song. It's kind of autobiographical and doesn't fall into the trappings of hos, money and guns people seems to hear from rap music nowadays. If there was a song that people who don't listen to that genre of music might be familiar with, it would be this one.
-Lyrics: Unfortnately, the lyrics to this song fit so well with my idea that I couldn't rewrite all of the lines here. Parts of Verse 1 and parts of the Chorus are originally from the song. Verses 2 and 3, however, are all mine.
-Subject: The subject of the songfic is a bit romantic and a bit tragic, especially for those readers out there that are Odd x Aelita fans. I was thinking of writing a oneshot fic similar in nature to this one. I'll let it simmer in my mind and see where it goes from there.
That's it. I debating between a oneshot for the next one or Episode 4 of The Reset Arc. I have four episode ideas in my head but I'm not sure which one to go with first. They're practically interchangeable but I'll see where the writing takes me. Hopefully, another songfic idea doesn't come to my head anytime soon to derail those plans.
Till next time.
