Beast Out the Box
¡Mayday! & Murs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't change him, chain it, no
I can't hold him back
I keep putting him down
Break I been holding on to a
Soul down low like a loaded gun
I'mma take a step closer from
Snakes, and the new fugazi's
Why they gotta provoke me, try and tame me
Fate and the blocks that made
Won't let me go down like these ladies
Hate, It's all around me
The evil's closing in and it tried to drown me
Wait I let God surround me
The devil had me down but I'm glad he found me
Shake, everything I was
And every little bit of me You see I love
I'mma Make a move on the spot
Running up the plot
Coming up outta the box
I let the beast out the box
I can't change him, chain it, no
I can't hold him back
I keep putting him down
I let the beast out the box
I can't change him, chain it, no
I can't hold him back
I keep putting him down
Here comes the rattling here comes the pain
Here comes the handling don't fear the rain
Cause it was bound to change couldn't hold it all in so I broke the chain
These boys are shattering
These barricade
B-boys are traveling
To outer space
We had to make our lane
Drive without headlights, turn a road unpaved
In comes the chatterin' Into my brain
It doesn't matter they call me insane
What they think it's a game
Goin' full beast mode for the money and fame
Get up I'm battering
In such a way
The Tin cups an damning em
Fix up your fangs
Take a bite out the game new rules new aim
And a gang called strange
I let the beast out the box
I can't change him, chain it, no
I can't hold him back
I keep putting him down
I let the beast out the box
I can't change him, chain it, no
I can't hold him back
I keep putting him down
I let the beast out the box
I can't change him, chain it, no
I can't hold him back
I keep putting him down
I let the beast out the box
I can't change him, chain it, no
I can't hold him back
I keep putting him down

Every ¡MursDay! Track bangs something savage.
They are pretty timeless for hiphop...
Their collaboration nails an homage to classic hip hop with their lyrics, instrumentals, compositions and their fused energy.. you can see that these Tall Trees have foundational roots and truly love and respect the culture of hip hop. Definitely a more sophisticated approach to each and every word... Every ¡MursDay! track will definitely stand toe to toe, if they happen to not squash'em, 99% of the Hip Hop being made today. Definite Bangers!!!
Certainly a head of their time

Best song on the album, always gets me hyped up.
