Outside the Box
Breaking Chains: Embracing Freedom Outside the Box
Lyrics
When you live straight out that troubling box, bloodsuckers will be looking at you crazy
Choosing to live outside societal norms attracts criticism and judgment.
(Bloodsuckers will be looking at you crazy yeah)
Reiteration of potential negative reactions from those who conform to societal expectations.
It takes a little more than just being brave
Being brave alone is not enough; more is required to break free from societal constraints.
You need to understand your not a slave
Empowerment message emphasizing freedom from slavery, possibly societal expectations.
It’s my life and i’ll live it my way
Declaration of individual autonomy and the right to live life on one's terms.
Come journey with me and i’ll take you far away
Invitation to join a journey away from societal norms.
Social standards mean nothing to me, i do as i please
Disregard for social standards; a commitment to personal freedom.
Our God gave us hands and feet
Reference to divine creation and the assertion of personal control over one's life.
So I’m tired you’re controlling me
Expression of resistance against being controlled by others.
And I can't believe
A sense of disbelief at external attempts to exert control.
You think the maddest of all folk is gonna shape me up and tell me what i better achieve
Rejecting the influence of societal expectations on personal goals and achievements.
I’m outside, outside the box living in my own way
Repeated affirmation of living outside societal norms and doing things independently.
I’m outside, outside the box, doing my thing day after day
-I’m outside, outside the box living in my own way
-I'm outside, outside the box doing my thing day after day
-Dum da da dum i’m shaking them
Expressing confidence and defiance, using symbolism like flames and gestures.
The world ain’t been the same since the day i jumped of the box
-Dum da da dum it hasn’t been the same and since the day
-I lit the flame and started Listening to my own mind
-Dum da da dum i’ll give you something they can visualize
-And just see just what i’m talking about
-Dum da da dum open up your eyes surprise now
-What you see here is the the middle finger
-Now be advised, There's a risk for doing all the things that i do
Choosing a unique path despite potential conflicts, emphasizing self-confidence.
You’ll find yourself in more conflict the more that string is pulled
-But i’ll walk a different path that most of you suckas will not choose
-1 Vs 100 i’ll bring it on’ i’m still gonna get the win over you
-Social standards mean nothing to me, i do as i please
Reiteration of rejecting societal standards and control.
Our God gave us hands and feet
-So I’m tired you’re controlling me
-And I can't believe
-You think the maddest of all folk is gonna shape me up and tell me what i better achieve
Asserting independence against societal expectations of success.
I’m outside, outside the box living in my own way
Reaffirmation of living outside the box and doing things one's way.
I’m outside, outside the box, doing my thing day after day
-I’m outside, outside the box living in my own way
-I'm outside, outside the box doing my thing day after day
-Dum da da dum i’m shaking them
Continued expression of confidence and surprise at defying expectations.
The world ain’t been the same since the day i jumped of the box
-Dum da da dum it hasn’t been the same and since the day i lit the flame and started Listening to my own mind
-Dum da da dum i’ll give you something they can visualize
-And just see just what i’m talking about
-Dum da da dum open up your eyes surprise now
-What you see here is the the middle finger
Symbolic gesture of defiance – showing the middle finger.
Front, back, side to side
Encouragement to resist external control, using a defiant gesture.
Don't let them Sprinkle that control on your mind
-Front, back, side to side
-Wave that middle finger, raise it high in the sky
-Front, back, side to side
-Don't let them Sprinkle that control on your mind
-Front, back, side to side
-Wave that middle finger, raise it high in the sky
-Social standards mean nothing to me, i do as i please
Final repetition of rejecting societal norms and disbelief at external attempts to shape one's life.
Our God gave us hands and feet
-So I’m tired you’re controlling me
-And I can't believe
-You think the maddest of all folk is gonna shape me up and tell me what i better achieve
-Social standards mean nothing to me, i do as i please
-Our God gave us hands and feet
-So I’m tired you’re controlling me
-And I can't believe
-You think the maddest of all folk is gonna shape me up and tell me what i better achieve
