Outside The Box

Read Chris Webby's Explanation of "Outside The Box"

[Verse 1: Chris Webby]

I'm livin' outside the box like a shipping address

Until I stack up all my chips and assets

Make my paycheck, blaze ya' tape decks

And see the whole world no Waze or atlas

They told me to shoot for the moon

But I grabbed me a pistol and shot for the stars

And that bullet ain't stoppin at Mars, so

Never let em try to stop who you are

A teacher, a doctor, a web technician

Athlete, a barber, or video vixen

Tattoo artist, chef, or musician

You could be what you want, kid listen

Stay on that mission like Ratchet and Clank

And don't get distracted by passin' the drank

Trust I've been through it, but stuck to the music

And now they see me takin' that to the bank

And you don't gotta love me

There billions of people out there I don't need you

And nobody gets a redo, but it's so far so good on makin' my dream true

And I'm here to shake it up like I'm playin' with snow globes

In my dojo, workin' and waitin' to go pro

Young virtuoso, makin' my dough grow

On my solo, stayin low pro, but they know though

You plant a seed and you gone see that bitch grow

Remember that for life and take it everywhere you go

Be what you feel you're born to be, follow what your passions be

And chase that dream until it's a reality

[Hook: Chris Webby]

They told me that I had to go to school and get an education

And live up to society and all its expectations

But I, made my own fate, got up and I paved my own way

So if you like me sing along to the song, let's all say

(I'mma live outside the box)

I can do anything, that I can think, I'll show you

(I'mma live outside the box)

I can go anywhere, I'll take you there, I'll show you

(I'mma live outside the box)

[Verse 2: Sincerely Collins]

I remember when you boxed me in

Told me I could never leave the box again

I was just lil' me, tryna find the real me

Knowin' that the box was a crock of shit

The box had bots that would block the kid

Every time I shot from my rocket ship

But then I found the light and it showed me how to fight

So I'm sayin' we can box if you box me in, for real

Give me a penny, I bet I flip it to a stack

They tryin' to lead me to Satan, I'm like who is that

I started this shit from the bottom, but I'm through with that

My confidence is in my hair because I grew it back

I hope you're not believin' all the bullshit

I hope you're not believin' all the lies

You just gotta get outta your own way

You just gotta open up your eyes

I can see the light inside you

Do I pray at night yes I do

Thank the universe, simply for the opportunity to spit this haiku, yeah

It's just light work, and you can do the shit if you think it

Get your mind right and just make sure that you practicin' what you preachin', cause

You plant a seed and you gon' see that bitch grow

Told you I came from the bottom now I'm 25th floor, I got

High hopes for me and all of my fam

If ever they tell you no, well fuck em, cuz yes you can...yeah

Fix God, Sincerely
