Shakka - Chicken Legs lyrics
[Verse]: I see red, amber then green Next in line, Shakka thats me Stallin' and chokin' 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 s**ed into hype Living the lie "Rude boi inna London" wasn't I? Even in cla** 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 d**h 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 pa**ed 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 s**ed 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
