[Verse 1 Akala] Dat boy Akalas a diamond fella All you little boys are a Comedy of Errors You bellow but you fellows get played like The cello, Im doing my ting Youre jealous like Othello Who you? what you gonna do? All you little boys get Tamed like the Shrew Youre midsummer dreamin Your tunes aint appealing Im Capulet, youre Montague, I aint feeling I am the Julius Caesar hear me The Merchant Of Venice couldnt sell your CD As for me, Alls Well That Ends Well Your boys like Macbeth, youre going to Hell Measure for Measure, I am the best here Youre Merry Wives of Windsor not King Lear I dont know about Timon I know he was in Athens When I come back like Hamlet you pay for your action [Verse 2] Dat boy Akala, I do it As You Like It Youre Much Ado About Nothing All you do is bite it Im too tight, I dont need 12 Nights All you little Tempests get murked on the mic Of course Im the one with the force Youre history just like Henry IV Im fire, things look dire Better run like Pericles Prince Of Tyre Off the scale, cold as a Winters Tale Titus Andronicus was bound to fail So will you if Akala get at ya Thats suicide like Anthony Cleopatra Cymbeline was a modern day Bridget Jones Loves Labours Lost, a woman on her own She needed Two Gentlemen Of Verona This is illa State and I am the owner [Verse 3] Wise is the man that knows hes a fool Tempt not a desperate man with a jewel Why take from Peter to go pay Paul? Some rise by sin and by virtue fall What have you made if you gain the whole world But sell your own soul for the price of a pearl? The world is my oyster and I am starving I want much more than a penny or a farthing I told no joke, I hope youre not laughing Poet or pauper which do you class him? Speak eloquent, though I am resident to the gritty inner city Thats surely irrelevant Call it urban, call it street A rose by any other name, smell just as sweet Spit so hard, but Im smart as the Bard Come through with a Union Jack for the yard verse 4] Akala, Akala, wherefore art thou? Im the black Shakespeare and The secrets out now Chance never did crown me, this is destiny You still talk but it still perplexes me Devour cowards, thousands per hour Dont you know the kings name is a tower? You should never speak it It is not a secret I teach thesis, like anicent Greeces Or Egyptology, never no apology In my minds eye, I see things properly Stopping me, nah you could never possibly I bear a charmed life, most probably For certain I put daggers in a phrase Ill put an end to your dancing days No matter what you say it will never work Wrens cant make prey Where eagles dont perch Im the worst with the words Cos I curse all my verbs Im the first with a verse to rehearse with a nurse Theres a hearse for the first jerk who turn berserk Off with his head, cos it must not work Ramp with Akala, that is true madness And theres no method in it, just sadness I speak with the daggers and the hammers Of a passion when Im rappin I attack em In a military fashion the pattern of my rappin Chattin couldnt ever map it And I run more rings round things than Saturn Sick, never slackin like a pig with a baton Verses split big kids wigs when Im rappin That boy Akala, the black Shakespeare Didnt want to listen, when I said last year Rich like a gem in a Ethiopes ear Tell them again For them who never hear
