With the cards in my heart you can’t call the bluff
I’m workin' hard on my part, still starvin', what
Can you say about a person when that’s all he does?
I’m OJ with the verse and leave a wall of blood
You can’t say I’m not determined, you can call it love
Music’s like churches to all of us Problems will surface in all of us So come out with your purpose and a start a fuss
And I might not know the people you do Or hang in crowds you might expect me to So please excuse this, my need to do this
Trumps all else so I pump the music
And I’m not just here to blow my own horn
And I’m not just here to make my money
I’m just here cuz a heart don’t fit in a box
And that’s what you can’t take from me Take a turn like your blinker’s on From the burn and learn to forget the storm
Whether you’re kurds or serbs, rooks, kings or pawns
You deserve to get hurt for the things you fought
Yup, yup, for the things you sought
You deserve to be certain in the things there are
You can serve to a sermon to pimp your car
Long as you determine the things too far
I can make like a raven and watch
All the fakes as I prey on the flock
I’m in a place I can say what I want
All within this heart shaped box
All within this heart shaped box
This is livin' the right verse, writin' to live. Where
Fittin' in the finish is the name of the bus'-ness
Heart’s the reason I don’t give up and quit
It’s all to stop me from not givin' a shit, so I play the hand that’s been handed to me, got
To hold it down or I can’t set it free, not
Gonna sound like the next MC
Rest in peace, you see the crest within me, yeah
Tim McGraw is who I’m thinkin' I are
Singin' songs 'bout my life and my girl in the bar
In the middle of a song I got the world in my palm
And I eat it bit by bit, 'til I hurl on my lawn, yeah
More spit than the mouth of a dog
On the couch with a ball, chillin' after the haul
Yo, an anthill to most is a mountain to crawl
'Cause us Americans will never get outta our cars
Here’s proof of a pulse, a movement a cause
A room with a view for you to view all
Got troops in the gulf while we cruise in our cars
Little loops like a belt, there we go, here we are
This is grass roots for fast food
And I just can’t think at the take of a spot
So whether I make it or not
I’ma take up space in this heart shaped box
I can make like a raven and watch
All the fakes as I prey on the flock
I’m in a place I can say what I want
All within this heart shaped box
Not afraid to play the hand that I got
When I’m facin' a straight on the flop
Go against the grain, claim your spot
All within this heart shaped box
All within this heart shaped box
Never did I once think
That life amounts to one thing
But when you die, it’s one thing
That turns your life into nothing
And lookin' back on the past through the rear defrost
Never thought I would last so I peered across
And knowin' that’s in the clear, now the fear is lost
'Cause what’s happenin' here is the beat of hearts
So, until somethings proven I’m losing
Faith in whatever they’re doing
Won’t take two steps in the movement
If my two cents is useless
What’s bent can’t pent up my juices
Not content with the trends of my music
Got my pen that’s my friend and I move it To make sense outta all the confusion
Yeah, we need to start a revolution
Dedicated to makin' major improvements
Dedicated to flaggin' fakers as foolish
Dedicated to takin' down the rulers
Dedicated to seein' through illusions
Dedicated to beein' who you is Dedicated to makin' the new blueprints
That are forever depicted as trueness
I can make like a raven and watch
All the fakes as I prey on the flock
I’m in a place I can say what I want
All within this heart shaped box
Not afraid to play the hand that I got
When I’m facin' a straight on the flop
Go against the grain, claim your spot
All within this heart shaped box
All within this heart shaped box
