BOX'D UP Lyrics

You the reason I keep going

The reason I keep growing

You the reason I keep going

The reason I keep growing

The first night of my life there was light

Every year of my life there was strife

And if it wasn't family beef, somebody dying up the street

Seem like the world at each other's neck every other week

Up shit's creek without a raincoat

Stay in the boat, or else you bound to choke without a way to cope

Niggas talking all that reality rap bullshit

I'm a have the streets screaming "PREACH!" without a pulpit

And yes, I popped up

I had to go and change the code before I locked up

I represent for all my people who been boxed up

Pressed down and slurred, called vile words

Got to suppress the urge to box up

There is no way, nowhere I would be standing here (Without Your loving)

There is no way, nowhere I would be standing here (Without You)

There is no way, nowhere I would be standing here (Without Your loving)

There is no way, nowhere I would be standing here (Without You)

The reason I keep growing, keep going

Stay strong for You

Cause when You're beside me, I know we'll make it through

The reason I keep going, keep growing, stay strong for You

Stay strong for You, stay strong for You

I appreciate you

Thank you for riding this long

This a new stream of thought

How much this stream would cost

If you cared for the art the way you do for your heart

You idolize the words these niggas rapping, dawg

Even when they tell you that they capping, dawg

We love a lie more than we love our truth

If I can't keep it real with I, how can I see it through?

Just let me know what areas I'm lacking in

Overcompensating feeling like I had to win

YAH my backing now, I ain't have no backing then, for real

Busting at the seams, I was trying to pack it in, for real

And I'm now rapping, shit I was rapping then

But now my mind tapped in

And I'm lapping him, and him, and her, and they

2, 000 Miles away

Just a couple Worlds away

Inner space, out the way

Please spare your hot takes

Mm mm, no, not today

I hit play, I can't brake

Nu Growth is on the way

There is no way, nowhere I would be standing here (Without Your loving)

There is no way, nowhere I would be standing here (Without You)

There is no way, nowhere I would be standing here (Without Your loving)

There is no way, nowhere I would be standing here (Without You)

Reason I keep growing, keep going

Stay strong for You

Cause when You're beside me, I know we'll make it through

The reason I keep going, keep growing, stay strong for You

Stay strong for You, stay strong for You
