about

This is the song that kicked the whole project off, and as Amy’s 'You Sent Me Flying' is DL’s favourite track by her, he made 'Kicked To The Curb' his starting block for the album. In this song DL remarks of his regret as to the reasons why a relationship had to come to an end without actually saying what the girl did that led him to kick her to the curb and does this smoothly over a beat reminiscent of some old Dilla / Slum Village vibe…

lyrics

Intro Chorus
And although my pride [yeah] is not easy to disturb [yeah]
You sent me flying when you kicked me to the curb
[I had to wisen up, I had to wisen up]
You sent me flying when you kicked me to the curb
[I had to wisen up, I had to wisen up]


Verse One
I’m Sick of this, that’s why I kicked you to the curb with the quickness
Aint nobody in this world should have to live with this
And so I had to put you out just like cigarettes
And now you coming back with an apology
I took it now I’m asking what you want from me?
2, 3, 4, 5 Chances
But I think you know already what the answer is
I’ll never put myself in that position
Even though you tried to show me what I’m missing
But that made it a whole worse girl
Cos truthfully I’m saying you’re the first girl
To do me like you did me so I cursed girl
But I won’t put those curses in my verse girl
Cos I can think of many other Words girl
That explain why I kicked you to the curb girl
Now you’re back again singing the same song



Chorus
You sent me flying when you kicked me to the curb
[I had to wisen up, I had to wisen up]
You sent me flying when you kicked me to the curb
[I had to wisen up]


Verse Two
It’s over with, but seems you having trouble trying to notice it
Is there anything to say I haven’t said already?
But you don’t stop charging up your Ever Ready
Back with the same old, same old
And acting like this happened just a day ago
But it’s much more close to ten months now
I could have found somebody else and could have settled down
But to you it’s all inconsequential
Cos you saying that for you I am essential
And as I’m speaking on this instrumental
I ‘m thinking of the things you never meant to
But everything would happen too frequent
As often as every other weekend
And every time I couldn’t find the words girl
And so I had to kick you to the curb girl
And now you’re back again singing the same song


Chorus


Verse Three
So that’s it, I really aint got time for this harassment
I used to look at you like you an asset
But now that time is over and I’ve passed it
You were classic but not in a good way
You want me to remember all the good days?
But those memories are so cloudy
And covered by the days when you were rowdy
And I just aint the one to live with this
So you can keep asking for forgiveness
And I can let you have it but there’s no way
I’m ever gonna go back to the old days
And if I was to do that then the fact is
I didn’t learn cos I’d be going backwards
And that is not the way that I prefer girl
That’s why I had to kick you to the curb girl
But now you’re back again singing the same song


Outro Chorus
You sent me flying when you kicked me to the curb
[I had to wisen up, I had to wisen up]
You sent me flying when you kicked me to the curb
[I had to wisen up]
You sent me flying when you kicked me to the curb
So with your battered jeans [yeah] and your Beastie Tee… [fade]
