throw it out the window
put it out in the rain
cause i was always in your corner
you were always leaving me behind

i can only give you what i have
i can only give you me

we don't need no boxes, baby
we don't need no one to tell the time
we don't need no boxes, baby
cause when you're mine ain't no boxes

can we meet in the middle
let it come to pass
cause i just wanna give you water
you been sippin' on that alcohol 

i can only be the way i am
only be the way i am

we don't need no boxes, baby
we don't need no one to tell the time
we don't need no boxes, baby
cause when you're mine ain't no boxes

if we leave in a little 
won't know the bitter taste
cause i've been here in your apartment
you know i'm the one to keep you warm

but i can only be the one for now
i can only be here now

we don't need no boxes, baby
we don't need no one to tell the time
we don't need no boxes, baby
cause when you're mine ain't no boxes

while we're livin', gonna give it
never know unless we show it
gotta feel it, gonna heal it
on our knees where we don't need no boxes

BOXES

I'm a rapper wrapped up in a box of my gifts, acting to blast up my enemy - that messed up mentality, a programmed reality. Can't hesitate now - gotta flow in liminality; destruction, rebirth, every turn that I learn. I'm out here. To harness the burn.
