Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
Told 'em, "Fuck 12, fuck SWAT"
Bustin' all the bales out the box
I just hit a lick with the box
Had to put the stick in a box, mm
Pour up the whole damn seal, I'ma get lazy
I got the mojo-deals, we been trappin' like the '80s
She sucked a nigga soul, gotta Cash App
Told 'em wipe a nigga nose, say slatt, slatt
I won't never sell my soul, and I can back that
And I really wanna know, where you at, at?
I was out back, where the stash at
Cruise the city in a bulletproof Cadillac (skrrt)
'Cause I know these niggas after where the bag at (yeah)
Gotta move smarter, gotta move harder
Niggas tryna get me for my water
I lay his ass down on my son or my daughter
I had the Draco with me, Dwayne Carter
'Lotta niggas out here playin', ain't ballin'
I done put my whole arm in the rim, Vince Carter (yeah)
And I know Papi get a key for the quarter
Shawty barely seen the double C's I bought her
Got a bitch that's lookin' like Aaliyah, she a model
I got the pink slip, all my whips is key-less
Compton, I'm about to get the key to the city
Patek like the sea, forget it
Pullin' out the coupe at the lot
Told 'em, "Fuck 12, fuck SWAT"
Bustin' all the bales out the box
I just hit a lick with the box
Had to put the stick in a box, mm
Pour up the whole damn seal, I'ma get lazy
I got the mojo-deals, we been trappin' like the '80s
She sucked a nigga soul, gotta Cash App
Told 'em wipe a nigga nose, say slatt, slatt
I won't never sell my soul, and I can back that
And I really wanna know, where you at, at?
Ha-ha-ha, I been movin' 'em out
If Steelo with me, then he got the blues in the pouch (yeah)
Took her to the forest, put the wood in her mouth
Bitch don't wear no shoes in my house
The private I'm flyin' in, I never wanna fly again
I take my chances in traffic (yeah)
She suckin' on dick no hands with it
I just made the Rollie plain like a landing-strip
I'm a 2020 president candidate
I done put a hunnid bands on Zimmerman shit
I been movin' real gangsta, so that's why she pick a Crip
Shawty call me Crisco, 'cause I pop my shit
Got it out the mud, there's nothin' you can tell me, yeah
When I had the drugs, I was street-wealthy, yeah
Pullin' out the coupe at the lot
Told 'em, "Fuck 12, fuck SWAT"
Bustin' all the bales out the box
I just hit a lick with the box
Had to put the stick in a box, mm
Pour up the whole damn seal, I'ma get lazy
I got the mojo-deals, we been trappin' like the '80's
She sucked a nigga soul, gotta Cash App
Told 'em wipe a nigga nose, say slatt, slatt
I won't never sell my soul, and I can back that
And I really wanna know, where you at, at?
The lyrics to Roddy Ricch's song The Box are a mixture of braggadocio and coded language. In the first verse, Ricch boasts about his money and successful criminal activity, while also referencing the recent protests against police brutality with the lines "Told 'em, 'Fuck 12, fuck SWAT'," which is a derogatory term commonly used to refer to police officers. He then goes on to describe putting "the stick in a box," which can be interpreted as concealing a weapon. He also mentions "mojo-deals," which could be a reference to occult practices or simply a way of saying that he has a lot of confidence and swagger. In the chorus, Ricch repeats the phrase "I just hit a lick with the box," which means he has had a successful and lucrative criminal operation.
In the second verse, Ricch continues to talk about his street smarts and the lengths he will go to protect his wealth and safety. He refers to his gun as "the Draco" and name-checks rapper Lil Wayne (whose real name is Dwayne Carter) to emphasize his toughness. He also raps about his expensive watches and cars, as well as his ability to attract women. In the bridge, Ricch laughs and says he has been "movin' em out," which could mean he has been selling drugs or engaging in other criminal activity.

Roddy has a lengthy history with the law and has been to “the box”—which is slang for jail—numerous times.
Atlantic Records A&R Keefa Black confirmed on Twitter that the unique squeaking sounds that make up the entire track were recorded by Roddy after the song was complete. Producer 30 Roc further recalled how the track came together in an interview with Genius News:
When it came down to ‘The Box,’ for me, it was just like, let’s see if we can push him outside of his range. I really didn’t think he was going to do it. […] Then [Roddy] came and he was like, ‘EHH ERR, EHH ERR,’ and we all looked at each other…
“The Box” has seen massive success since its release—it peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The track received a boost in popularity when several videos and memes parodied the production, which helped Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial reach the number one spot on the Billboard 200.

¡Claro! Aquí te dejo otro ejemplo de un poema que cumple con las características que mencionas y que rima:
El sol brilla en el cielo con su fuerza y resplandor
y en su calor encuentro la vida y la energía
las aves vuelan libres, sin rumbo ni temor
y en su libertad veo la belleza de la alegría.
El mar se agita y sus olas rompen con furia y vigor
y en su misterio encuentro la fuerza y el poder
las conchas y los corales adornan su interior
y en su creación veo la perfección del ser.
El viento sopla fuerte, como un canto de amor
y en su melodía encuentro la pasión y la emoción
los árboles se mecen y se rinden a su humor
y en su movimiento veo la vida y la expresión.
La lluvia cae y su sonido es música celestial
y en su frescura encuentro la renovación y la paz
las flores se nutren de su agua tan natural
y en su fragancia veo la belleza y la verdad.
La noche llega y el cielo se cubre de estrellas
y en su brillo encuentro la magia y el misterio
la luna llena ilumina todo con su huella
y en su luz veo la maravilla y el misterio.
Así, en cada estrofa que escribo, en cada verso que riman
busco expresar la belleza, la emoción y la verdad
pues al final de todo, lo que cuenta es el amor en el corazón
y en esa luz encuentro la felicidad, la plenitud y la eternidad.
