Cardboard Box
FLO Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning

I got a confession
I don't think I want you anymore
There's no room for questions
I saw her panties on the bathroom floor

Been puttin' up with this for far too long
You ain't gonna change, boy
What's the point in stringin' me along?
We're done for real

So I'ma put your shit in a cardboard box
Changin' my number and I'm changin' the locks
When you can't get in, oh, your heart gon' stop
You may be cryin' but boy, I'm not
I'ma put your shit in a cardboard box
Changin' my number and I'm changin' the locks
Never liked your mama so I guess she's blocked
You may be cryin' but, boy, I'm not

Stressin' (stressin')
Do you hear a stutter in my words?
I see it as a blessing (see it as a blessing)
Come take your shit 'cause you can go stay at hers

I hope that shit was worth my wasted time
But could she do it like I do
You need someone to put you back in line
So you gon' see what I do

I'ma put your shit in a cardboard box
Changin' my number and I'm changin' the locks
When you can't get in, oh, your heart gon' stop
You may be cryin' but boy, I'm not (boy, you may be cryin' but I'm not)
I'ma put your shit in a cardboard box
Changin' my number and I'm changin' the locks
Never liked your mama so I guess she's blocked (oh, oh)
You may be cryin' but, boy, I'm not

Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
So I'ma put your jeans next to the dreams that you sold me
Believe karma is a B and she guaranteed
So I'ma put your gold chains down the drain and your Rollie
Might just drop a text to your homie

I'ma put your shit in a cardboard box
Changin' my number and I'm changin' the locks (changin' the locks, yeah)
When you can't get in, oh, your heart gon' stop
You may be cryin' but, boy, I'm not
I'ma put your shit in a cardboard box
Changin' my number and I'm changin' the locks (locks)
Never liked your mama so I guess she's blocked (she's blocked)
You may be cryin' but, boy, I'm not

Jeans next to the dreams that you sold me
Might just drop a text to your homie
You may be cryin' but, boy, I'm not

Cardboard Box
F.L.O. (UK) TRADUÇÃO

Eu tenho uma confissão a fazer, acho que não te quero mais
Não tem conversa, eu vi a calcinha dela no chão do banheiro
Aguentei isso por muito tempo
Você não vai mudar, garoto
Então qual é o sentido de continuar comigo?
A gente acabou, de verdade

Então vou colocar suas coisas numa caixa de papelão
Mudar meu número e trocar a fechadura
Quando você não conseguir entrar, seu coração vai parar
Você pode chorar, mas eu não vou
Vou colocar suas coisas numa caixa de papelão
Mudar meu número e trocar a fechadura
Nunca gostei da sua mãe, então adivinha, ela tá bloqueada
Você pode chorar, mas eu não vou

Estressante (estressante)
Você me vê gaguejar?
Eu vejo como uma bênção (vejo como uma bênção)
Venha pegar suas porcarias
Pra você ir poder ficar com ela, eu espero que essa merda valha o tempo que perdi
Mas ela consegue fazer como eu faço?
Você precisa de alguém pra te colocar na linha
Então você vai ver o que eu vou fazer

Eu vou colocar suas coisas numa caixa de papelão
Mudar meu número e trocar a fechadura
Quando você não conseguir entrar, seu coração vai parar
Você pode chorar, mas garoto
Eu não vou (garoto, você pode chorar, mas eu não vou)
Vou colocar suas coisas numa caixa de papelão
Mudar meu número e trocar a fechadura
Nunca gostei da sua mãe, então adivinha, ela tá bloqueada (oh, oh)
Você pode chorar, mas garoto, eu não vou

Sim, sim, sim, sim
Então vou colocar seus jeans perto dos sonhos que você me vendeu
Acredite, o karma é uma vadia e ela garante isso
Então vou colocar suas correntes de ouro no vaso e dar descarga junto com o seu Rollie
Posso até mandar uma mensagem pro seu amigo

Vou colocar suas coisas numa caixa de papelão
Mudar meu número e trocar a fechadura (trocar a fechadura, sim)
Quando você não conseguir entrar, ah, seu coração vai parar
Você pode chorar, mas garoto, eu não vou, vou colocar suas coisas numa caixa de papelão

Mudar meu número e trocar a fechadura (fechadura)
Nunca gostei da sua mãe, então adivinha, ela tá bloqueada (ela tá bloqueada)
Você pode chorar, mas garoto, eu não vou
Jeans perto dos sonhos que você me vendeu
Posso até mandar uma mensagem pro seu amigo
Você pode chorar, mas, garoto, eu não vou
