Skate Park Stud Let me spin a little tale, I'll tell it in rhyme. 'Bout the day I dropped in the 12 foot the first time. Finally cleared the funbox with an ultra-fat air. My tradmark disasters made the little grommets stare. I wasn't even winded; in the zone, on a roll. Pulling clean 360's in the mini, never-ever missed a soul. Thought I was a skate park stud, guess I got a little too cocky. Took my skates off, and here's where it gets rocky. I abandoned my faith, and borrowed a deck. Thought "yeah I can do it", if not "What the heck?" What's the worst that could happen? I'll take a little fall. I can already ollie, but the skate gods were appalled. They withdrew their favors, which had kept me from harm. When I dropped off the 6 foot, coping broke my f@*k'n arm. By CHJ The Girl That Skated I am sore, I am weak From all this sweat I really reek A girl on the half pipe? Get real, they say But who cares what they think? I'll have it my way Every weekend I go and get better than the last If you have a problem with me skating You can kiss my bruised ^ss True, I bust a lot And afterwards I don't look so hot But that's okay, people say 'Cause I got something other girls don't got Courage to get up there And try my very best At least I am trying And that gets their respect Yeah I'm a girl, a girl who skates I got bruises to prove it And lots of aches But for now I am trying my very best I hope you can see that And give me some respect The Mission I am on a mission, In search of my destiny. My life is practically planned. But what is my true identity? I hate being yanked around and told what to do. I can't take it anymore. So this is the end of my life. Hold it! What do I have here? An escape, a pair of inline skates. I put them on, and my mind clears. Heart, body, mind, and soul become one. Skating brought me courage and determination. My "weird" skater buds, they are my true friends. Though I am no Taig Khris, My genisis has begun. A doorway is open, I know my destiny. Now, I stand strong and proud. To the world, My hidden, true identity is revealed... The aggressive inline skater. |
