MADEMUSIC
MADEXXXX
My reality defies your boundaries and I
can never be defined
There's a conclusion that I'm leading to,
follow the dots and X marks the spot
I'm a buried treasure of personality that
is more valuable than your cheap, little
box
Your personal gain will be bring me
personal pain
Because the person you aim to please and
the person that I am are not the same
Choose to ignore who we are
Call me a John
Call her a Jane Doe, but no matter what
you call us we still have our name
Antagonize me because I'm different?
Mad because I refuse to change?
Well, you're not life’s king or queen so
good knight, I'm no rook or looking to be
part of your game
No pawn, the card I've drawn proves I
don't match the rules you claim
Like a bishop's protection my advantage
is to manage my direction and over my
life is where I reign
And I won’t be tamed
You pictured me as the box inside of a
perception you already framed
But carbon copies are priced less than
priceless original like how I came
I'm no chess piece, I'm a masterpiece and
the peace of mind that I've got
Comes from knowing that I may not
always fit, but I will never for in your
tiny, little box
But you're not alone
You've got real estate agents to sell this
state of mind that you've grown
These little boxes are built and you all
want me to buy into these four walls as
my home
But see your company is not the biggest
threat to me
Regrettably my biggest enemy is in me
Let it be known
The only thing more dangerous than
accepting your box is to lock myself
inside one of my own
I'm too old, I'm too stupid, I'm too
unworthy, I'm too ugly
I'm too crazy, I'm too broke, it's a joke to
think someone could ever love me
I'm unqualified, I'm a quitter, I'm
inexperienced, I'm out of time
NO
I can't be a babysitter to the litter of my
mind
Grow up and shine
We're all living in the shadows of how
we think we should be defined
Stunting our own growth, not spreading
our wings that God assigned
So, I won't wrestle with your limitations
when I'm already struggling with mine
Dealing with the opposition of the inner
man is worse than dealing with the
outward opinion of mankind
So I tell myself, you've got room to
change
So don't count it as a shock
If I don't like the room then why not the
other doors a knock?
If you told yourself to start a behavior
then you can tell yourself start to stop
I tell myself, I said, “Self like you told
them, I am not a box.”
Let's review
The only thing more dangerous than
accepting your box is jumping inside one
that I drew
So if I jump inside of your box then I've
actually hopped inside of two
So even if you’ve taken a walk in my
shoes, then you still cannot feel the
hidden weight of my socks
That’s why you cannot run with my inner
circle when your Nikes are still inside of
that box
Just do it
