Chicken Legs
(专辑: The Shakka Crown Affair - 2011)
I
see red, amber then green Next in line, Shakka that's me Stalling and choking black smoke behind me Eyes wide open awoken from my dream Cornflakes start the
day I'm nine years of age Walk to school complain: "Mummy my legs ache" Wack at football picked last everyday but first for school plays So the
guys called me gay Later days was when it started to frustrate Year seven, secondary, they said the
same thing Either cause I
was animated, or loud and blatant Or cause all through the
corridor you could hear me sing (Sweet Like Chocolate Boy) Impressionable was I
Music in these legs but brothers made these legs shy (Sweet Like Chocolate) So in the
music block I
would cotch and decide, to make computer music and lyrics on the
sly And then in time They found out that I
Could beatbox live to the
sound of grime So they dropped eights and sixteens whilst I
crossfade, eskimo, pulse x
and y
through Confidence Sucked into hype Living the
lie "Rude boi inna London" wasn't I? Even in class I
would play the
'Ars (e) '
because the
'Geni-Ars' would get more attention than I
In time impressionable I
was left behind The
mock exam results scared me half to death And secretly these MC's were gunning me, my undercover nickame had turned into Goat Breath And this reality check, BANG, hit my legs like a
bull and Shakka Dumpty had a
great fall But one clever guy from grime once said you have to "Pull up your socks and stand up tall" Maths books: The
new bredrins I
parred with The
music block was my new youth club And some of the
waste guys were surprised when my beats were live Cheek to ask "Shakka make man a
dub" Eleven A
to C's, Shakka passed flying coloured Say "Goat's Cheese!" pictures in the
corridor So when they see my face and download this on MySpace they'll follow their legs and not the
hype horde I
see red, amber then green Wheels spinning with speed Shakka sucked into the
seat Tense knees, nice breeze as I'm hitting sixty Awake, grinning teeth, clear vision of my dream I
can't wait, no I
can't wait I
can't wait
