baron jay - box lyrics
v.o (bishop jakes):
i never knew that the way people described you would become a prison until they did it…
uh, you are at your best when you are authentic to your core
and you have to be what you are, not what they call you
we cannot allow ourselves to be incarcerated by anything that people would describe us with…
because we limit then what the holy spirit can do
don’t be limited!
don’t put a period because you did one thing that you can’t do something else
that you can’t be something else; that you can’t evolve as an individual
that you can’t explore other idioms of thought…
baron jay:
aye look
i put my back on it, like a spinal cord
ain’t no tellin’ what happens whenever i record
the mic is sore whenever i go writin’ words
i’m fightin’ wars, my mind’s a survival course (survival)
my music is my life in words… (life)
more than just a cd you can buy in stores (buy)
just because you like it when i’m rhymin’ words, now i’m supposed to stick to what you like me for?
look, i might annoy you, or disappoint you (might)
but don’t you ever doubt what i’m writin’ for you (write, nah)
sometimes i cry ’cause my nights are horrible
but i sit through the pain and i write regardless (i write)
and i gotta give all the glory to god
how is it music if i can’t tell you my story at all? (what?)
like, i’m here for him and he’s here for you, so i’m here for you
are you diggin’ it now?
but either way i can’t stress it (can’t stress)
’cause i know that i’m blessed to be a blessing (blessed)
you’ll never see me flex to be the best or wrestlin’ with the rest
i’m restin’ in his rest and i’m fightin’ my flesh on a daily (on a daily)
tryna be the best me (tryna be the best me)
the way my generation goin’ crazy (crazy!)
has never impressed me (impressed me, no)
’cause i’m movin’ with the best team, yeah
baron jay:
hands on the word when i’m cookin’ with the squad (squad)
and we on the search yeah we fishin’ for the lost (lost)
i’m workin’ with my god you can’t put me in a box (no)
can’t put me in a box, you can’t put me in a box!
baron jay:
look
i ain’t never shook by the thought of a hater (i don’t even have one)
maybe i will later (maybe)
right now i’m just focused on my maker
plus there’s a lot goin’ on in the nation
so if we don’t address the issues then who will? (tell me who)
who go make music for the kids goin’ though h-ll? (tell me who)
who are these young fellas gonna relate to?
when they’re feelin’ weak and they’re fallin’ for the bait, you-
want me to turn a blind eye to the weak?
and look the other way ’cause we ain’t on the same team?
“do not be unequally yoked”
mehn, people quote that verse without even knowin’ what it means
and at some point i was even thinkin’ if the things i was sayin’ on this song were necessary
but i’m an emissary (emissary)
so i go talk as e dey do me till i’m dead and buried (wo!)
most christians wey dey judge other christians no dey even focus on their work (focus on the work)
they fit no even know wetin their work be yet they out here just suffering the work (rrr!)
the work of the king and for the kingdom we supposed to be together like tendons
livin’ in love and repentance, we do the love, let the lord do the vengeance, yeah!
so take heed, homie, better be wise
comin’ at the lyrical cleric has never been wise
i’m talkin’ bout the cynical critics who live in denial of the fact that my gift is beyond these lines (rrr!)
they out here lookin’ for a loss (lookin’ for a loss)
i’m celebratin’ crowns and they lookin’ for the cross (cross)
but my cross is mine and bottom line is
you gon’ have to k!ll me first ‘fore you put me in a box (box)
and i can’t die!
baron jay:
hands on the word when i’m cookin’ with the squad (squad)
and we on the search yeah we fishin’ for the lost (lost)
i’m workin’ with my god you can’t put me in a box (no)
can’t put me in a box, you can’t put me in a box!
v.o (bishop jakes):
i will think for myself, i will move in my own direction
you can say whatever you wanna say about it but i’m gonna be me
baron jay:
i’m workin’ with my god you can’t put me in a box (no)
can’t put me in a box, you can’t put me in a box!
crazy!
