Kano
Can’t Box Me
[Intro: Kane Robinson's MOBO Awards speech]
And I just wanna say to all artists that have other interests
You can do what you f*cking want
No boxes, no boundaries
You're an artist
Your artistry don't stop in one medium

[Verse 1: Hope Ikpoku Jnr]
Take a look inside a mirror tell me what do you see
I be looking in the mirror, I don't even see me
My little brother said he get his good habits from me
He given too much credit couldn't even agree, it's like
To be honest I just do this for me
It's cliché but, when I grip the pen I feel free
I feel chosen, type of thing you couldn't foresee
I miss the notion, the acting is all I can be
I see you guys looking down and I knew it
If you aim at thе kid you better do it
Char told me that I prolly shouldn't do it
But thеse guys getting on my last nerves, going through it
Bro I don't fear no one, intention my sword
Purpose my shield, my team the ensemble, we never yield
Non-disclosure, plans concealed
Bond stay solid, confidence sealed

[Pre-Chorus: Hope Ikpouku Jnr]
I don't fear anyone
Surrounded by God-fearers, I've already won
It's already begun
My ascension is happening, won't stop 'til I'm done
[Chorus: Hope Ikpoku Jnr]
I'll never leave
You can try it all you want, can't box me
Even if you wanted to, can't stop me
Put on Earth to create, create
Can't box me

[Verse 2: Hope Ikpoku Jnr]
You can't box me even if you tried
Sometimes I wanna act
Sometimes I wanna write
Sometimes I wanna dance
I told Zion that I'm coming to his next class, I'm a little rusty lemme tell you in advance
All my people really go and do it for the art
While you people only do it just to chart
(Circle full of winners all my people are stars
Supernova 'cause we heating up the-)
Supernova 'cause we heating up the scenes
Grind everyday, stick to the routine
I ain't slept since 2018 I work like a dog, a machine
Pain of discipline or the pain of regret
Huh, I'd rather drown in my sweat
I've known from young that I'll be up next
You'll agree when you hear what's next

[Chorus]
I'll never leave
You can try it all you want, can't box me
Even if you wanted to, can't stop me
Put on Earth to create, create
Can't box me
I'll never leave (I'll never leave)
You can try it all you want (Try all you want), can't box me (No you can't)
Even if you wanted to, can't stop me (Can't stop me)
Put on Earth to create, create (I was put here to create)
Can't box me (Ah yeah)

[Outro: Hope Ikpoku Jnr]
I'll never leave
You can try it all you want, can't box me
Even if you wanted to, can't stop me
Put on Earth to create, create
Can't box me
