it's pretty obvious not about skating. he got dudes dissing him for being a fake skateboarder when the song its not even about that in the first place.

All you ****** is faker than Lupe Fiasco claiming he skateboards
Yeah right, that ***** can't even ollie
Push him away on the dolly, not even Satan can stop me!

It is about skating, but it's also a clever metaphor about someone's struggle to find where they belong in the world, and trying to find acceptance and understanding.  He finds a friend, then more friends, and together they continue doing what they love even though it's not accepted by everyone else around them. 

Also notice at the end of each verse, there's someone displacing him/his friends.  In the first verse, we don't know who the displacer is, but presumably it's the park people.  In the second verse, it's the security of the apartment building's parking lot.  In the third and final verse, it's the cops.  So each verse, there is a bigger force trying to stop him doing what he loves, and despite that, he keeps doing it.

So really the song is about trying to find acceptance and understanding and where you belong in the world, and to keep doing what you love doing even if everybody else is against you.  Skateboarding is just the vehicle used to portray the message.
