Box Thoughts

[Verse 1]
What are you saying? My patience is running and strained
All your thoughts in a box like you’re talking and saying
All your wants to accomplish, your wants for a change
But you’re wanting to spark a new comment of hatred
Response to the ponds full of pawns in their bed
Who’ll promise they’ll stop you and pop with the lead
But the talk are the shots at the top of a thread
Just the typing for likes but no fights in their head
Fighting and fighting and fighting for followers
Girl that you like, not her type, but you follow her
Talk through the night, though despite all her thoughts at first
Feelings are right but “tough guy” don’t acknowledge her
Back to the start and just plug in the phone
Friends on the web but at school she’s alone
It’s another young girl feeling lost in the world
Dream one day the house, it was really a home

I got box thoughts
I got box thoughts
I got box thoughts
I got box thoughts
I got box thoughts (yeah yeah)
I got box thoughts (yeah yeah)
I got box thoughts (yeah yeah)
I got box thoughts (yeah yeah)

[Hook]
I got box thoughts (I don’t know)
I got box thoughts (I don’t know)
I got box thoughts (I don’t know)
I got box thoughts (I don’t know, oh)
I got box thoughts (I don’t know)
I got box thoughts (I don’t know)
I got box thoughts (I don’t know)
I got box thoughts (I don’t know, oh)

[Verse 2]
So many don’t wanna be creative anymore
They had an idea, don’t wanna say it anymore
Watching the future that lies for the others
Just aiming to please and then lie to their mothers
You don’t wanna be there, you don’t wanna do that
But the fear to obey, it goes hand with the struggles
Remembering times I would think it’d happen
Kid with no drive, I just wanted to rap
Would plan out my night where I sat and I’d write
For hours and hours, now back to the ‘Gram
Back on a leash, gotta go eat
Got school in the morning I gotta go sleep
Excuses I make for deadlines I don’t meet
Gotta work on a tape and now I got a feat

[Bridge]
Box Thoughts, laying trynna sleep on my own
Box Thoughts, boutta type a tweet on my phone
Box Thoughts, induced by procrastination
Box Thoughts, sent, now back to the scrolling
Box Thoughts, cardboard around our creation
Box Thoughts, now I gotta watch when I say shit
Box Thoughts, locked, gone, away, and
Box Thoughts, locked, gone away

[Hook]
I got box thoughts (I don’t know)
I got box thoughts (I don’t know)
I got box thoughts (I don’t know)
I got box thoughts (I don’t know, oh)
I got box thoughts (I don’t know)
I got box thoughts (I don’t know)
I got box thoughts (I don’t know)
I got box thoughts (I don’t know, oh)
