[Verse 1]
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 thats 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
[Hook]
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
[Verse 2]
This is livin' the right verse, writin' to live. Where...
Fit'n in the finish is the name of the biz..ness
Heart's the reason I don't give up and quit
Its all to stop me from not givin' a sh**. So...
I play the hand thats been handed to me. Got...
To hold it down or I can't set it free. Not...
Gonna sound like the next emcee
Rest in peace
You see the crest within me, yah
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
Cuz 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 gra** roots for fast food
And I just can't think at the take of a spot
So whether I make it or not
I'm gonna take up space in this heart shaped box
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
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 knowing that's in the clear, now the fear is lost
Cuz what's happenin' here is the beat of heart
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 bent in my juices
Not content with the trends in my music
Got my pen that's my friend and I move it
To make sense outta all the confusion
Yea, 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
[Hook]
