Boxes Lyrics

I'm a girl child

I'm a girl child

I'm a Black girl child

I'm a girl child

I'm a girl child

I'm a girl child

I'm a Black girl child

I'm a girl child

This is not a song to tell you not to put me in a box

This is not a song to say I can do what I can clearly not

I am me

And you are you

It's that simple!

Seated in the world

Hoping to exist

Remind you that I'm me

Not the words of your ideal

When I wake tomorrow

Ready for new battles

Remind you I exist

Show you what you missed

Let nothing defile what's within

(Black girl child)

Drop your boxes

And maybe you will see

We're all worth it

Call me by my name

You can afford it

I fully exist outside these boxes

Your boxes

Boxes

I know it makes it easier

But we've lost it

I'm me and you are you

And that is just it

They don't seem to do us both justice

These boxes

Hold your head up high (high)

No limits in the sky (sky)

Live outside the lie (lie)

Reject the rules and fly (fly)

When you wake tomorrow ('morrow)

Ready for the battle (battle)

Remind them why you're here (here)

Explain why they should care

Let nothing defile what's within

Drop your boxes

And maybe you will see

We're all worth it

Call me by my name

You can afford it

I fully exist outside these boxes

Your boxes

Boxes

I know it makes it easier

But we've lost it

I'm me and you are you

And that is just it

They don't seem to do us both justice

These boxes

Drop your boxes

And maybe you will see

We're all worth it

Call me by my name

You can afford it

I fully exist outside these boxes

Your boxes

Boxes

I know it makes it easier

But we've lost it

I'm me and you are you

And that is just it

They don't seem to do us both justice

These boxes

Black girl black girl you're worth it

Black girl black girl you're worth it

[I'm a girl child]

Black girl black girl you're worth it

Black girl black girl you're worth it

[I'm a Black girl child]

Black girl black girl you're worth it

(Black girl)

Black girl black girl you're worth it

(Black girl)

[I'm a Black girl child]

Black girl black girl you're worth it

(Black girl)

Black girl black girl you're worth it

(Black girl)

Black girl black girl you're worth it

(Black girl)

Black girl black girl you're worth it

(Black girl)

Black girl black girl you're worth it

(Black girl)

Black girl black girl you're worth it

(Black girl)

Black girl black girl you're worth it

(Black girl)

Let no one defile what's within

Black girl black girl you're worth it

(Black girl)

Let no one defile what's within what's within
