Kick, Push is the first single released from Lupe Fiasco's debut album, Food & Liquor. It has been referred to as "a needle in hip hop's haystack of complacent songs."^[1] It is one of the few songs in which Fiasco does not use any profanities.^[2]

Lupe has clarified, "...I'm not a skater and I don't want to keep putting on the faces of people who've been skating for 20 years and actually lived out "Kick, Push"."^[3]

This track is included in EA Sports' NBA Live 07 and Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam.

The song features a sample of "Bolero Medley" by Celeste Legaspi.
