[Tinashe - Box on a Shelf lyrics]
I'm playing by my own rules
I'm doing what I want to living my own life
They look at me so crazy
Yeah, they tried to change me
No, they never satisfied
They uh think alike, talk alike
They go turn the left, I go right
They uh keep low, I go high
Asking myself, wondering why
Everybody fit in a box on a shelf
I don't wanna live like that
All of them say I don't
Really know how to act
Tryna have me in a bag
I'mma do my own thing, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I ain't a cookie cutter
You'll never meet another i'm one of a kind
Wishing they could restrain me
I'll never let them chain me
I've got my own mind
They uh think alike, talk alike
They go turn the left, I go right
They uh keep low, I go high
Asking myself, wondering why
Everybody fit in a box on a shelf
I don't wanna live like that
All of them say I don't
Really know how to act
Tryna have me in a bag
I'mma do my own thing, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Everybody fit in a box on a shelf
I don't wanna live like that
All of them say I don't
Really know how to act
Tryna have me in a bag
I'mma do my own thing, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Everybody fit in a box on a shelf
(Show me something new, baby)
I don't wanna live like that
All of them say I don't
Really know how to act
(Show me something new, baby)
Tryna have me in a bag
I'mma do my own thing, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Show me something new, baby)
Guess it's just me, switching it up
(Show me something new, baby)
Build my own bridge, playing my own drum
(Show me something new, baby)
Told me give up, told me lie down
(Show me something new, baby)
It's the way it is, tell
Me right now, right now, right now
Everybody fit in a box on a shelf
I don't wanna live like that
All of them say I don't
Really know how to act
Tryna have me in a bag
I'mma do my own thing, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Everybody fit in a box on a shelf
(Show me something new, baby)
I don't wanna live like that
All of them say I don't
Really know how to act

Tryna have me in a bag
I'mma do my own thing, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Show me something new, baby)
Guess it's just me, switching it up
Show me something new, baby
Show me something new, baby
