    Never mind Bacon,*gives*him*50euronote*to dry*his*tears*

    I'll tell yer of what 'appened as I walked along me way
    Through the local park out on a bright an' sunny day
    I chance upon a friend of mine, a friend who's far from poor
    A gentleman who earns his crust by practicing the law

    'e's wearing his black gown and wig, as if 'e were mid case
    But most of all 'e wears a grimace right across his face
    I thinks 'Now, is the problem, that me old mate's just so tense
    From arguing, soliciting and totting up expense'

    So I says to 'im, 'What's brought you down to this poor state of grace
    That has you wearing this 'uge frown, why right across yer face?'
    Now it aint often you see a lawyer gag and nearly choke
    As he says "Its them scientists, those blokes in them white coats

    "They're buying up the lawyers, the ladies and the gents
    And putting us in mazes for their weird experiments"
    Now I'm all shocked, I says to 'im "'ow could things come to that?
    Aint that the sort of thing for which they've always used them rats?"

    "They'd rather use solicitors than rats, those bloody voyeurs
    In part because there's not as many rats as there are lawyers
    What's worse...", 'e 'angs 'is 'ead and says "It's sad but true
    There are some things, no matter what, that a rat just will not do"

    So if you see a pack of lawyers, bustling in a race
    You might just find one later, cheesy grin across 'is face
    'e'll be the one who's fastest, smartest, or whate'er they please
    Just don't ask 'im what 'e 'ad to do to get 'is brief of cheese

    sheisty also means suspicious, so naturally a Balaklava / Ski-Mask fits that meaning

    Comment

    Schon oft Leute gehört die zu Ski-Masken / Balaklavas "Sheisty" sagen.

    Die Verwendung in #11 scheint von einem Rapper zu kommen und sich anders zu schreiben.


    https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/shiesty


    Probably from shyst(er) +‎ -yGreen's Dictionary of Slang suggests that the word is a blend of shit +‎ feisty or shicer (“a worthless person”) +‎ feisty.[1] The noun sense is a reference to the rapper Pooh Shiesty, known for wearing ski masks on stage.[2]
