M.I Abaga, Pryse - The Box lyrics

Say I mI: You Know
I don’t believe in all those rules
And stuff like you do
MI: If I could say one thing
To the next generation of rhymers
And poets and rappers and I
MI: It will be this
Don’t believe in all those boxes
You put yourselves on
MI: Think outside the box, Break the rules
Stand out oh oh oh
Everyday… that you think about
What you wanna do
MI: Don’t believe them when they say
It’s impossible oh Oh Oh
Please don’t loose yourself mI: Just try
Sitting watching all those changes
That surround yourself mI: Let’s try
No no no no o o o o

Think outta the box break off the locks
Tear down the gates pull all the stops
Bang on the cars wake up the cops
Just play the game ignore the scores – WIN
Sometimes takes the loss lace up the shoes
Pull off the socks break down the rules
Rewrite the laws do what you want
The world is yours – YEAH
Welcome to a long line of great legends
Promise eLDee when we met, I’m gonna get him
Modenine told me the goal is more brethren
Ruggedman showed me the road to Mocheddah
Dagrin set the street on fire with raw shit
Ice prince showed us how to record hit's
Olamide is changing the gamewe’re all kings
Now is your time to rule, come on live

Say I mI: There are gonna try to break us up
I don’t believe in all those rules
And stuff like you do
MI: Put us in little boxes, indigenous rap
Hard core rap you know haha and I
MI: Fuck them
Don’t believe in all those boxes
You put yourselves through
MI: Hiphop is your story, is your feeling
Is your life oh oh oh
Everyday… mI: Its whatever you say it is
That you think about what you wanna do
MI: And the world is going to hear your story
Oh Oh Oh… mI: In your language
Please don’t loose yourself
Sitting watching all those changes
That surround yourself
MI: Just be amazing, just be great
Just be real no no no no o o o o

We are the ones, we are the team
We are the sons, we are the dream
We are the light, so join the beam
Don’t let them put walls in between
You are the voice the choice in you
Tell them the truth and touch the youths
Each one shall have a new recruit
To all reach the top we must commute – SHARE
They say don’t change the sound
I say that new shit must be found
I know to build you break the ground
Focus on love and not amounts
I wish you well, I wish you well
I hope you blow, I hope you sell
I hope you connect and I hope you gel
And one day like me you have a story to tell
Cos…I

I don’t believe in all those rules
And stuff like you do yea

It’s Pryse! yeah
I pledge allegiance to the game
Pledge I’ll never trade the love
I came for the fame
4 years after college I will do it all again
All the blood
Sweat and tears we just utilize the pain
Yeah… I pledge to cut my own path
I borrow the cutlass i do the work last last
Old or new school pledge will never cut class
And if I fall behind I
Pledge to never carry last yea
I promise that I’ll be the one
That others will build upon
I promise that I will go leave
The markings on the wall
Fuck what we agreed upon
I’ll rap and I’m singing
I’m trapping I’ll do it all
They say punch line o ja owo mo
Well some like Martell others feeling Alomo
I pledge to stay connected to the animals
Take it to my guys
Tell other rappers that 'am a cannibal

Oh C Kay won pemi bad musician
Won pemi bad producer
Won pemi eeee all of the above
Breaking all the rules like an officer
Won pemi Ajebutter
Won ti sope kolefo bi helicopter
Well I don’t believe in all those
Rules and stuff like you do
'Cos I know the sun will shine on me
And I know the rain will fall for me
And I know the wind will guiding me
To the height where everyone can see
Oh, Everyday I’ll be counting my blessings
Confessing, confessions of blessings
Until all of my niggas are balling


I don’t believe in all those rules
And stuff like you do yeah!
