The Box

Roddy Ricch
Album:
Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial

Lyrics meaning of The Box by Roddy Roch


After Ricch had been recording all night, it was captured in around fifteen minutes in the early morning hours of New York. Many listeners thought the song's "triumphant introduction that amounts to an orchestral swell" was a sample of Ciara's "Love Sex Magic" intro. Even though the song sounds similar, 30 Roc, the song's producer, has maintained that the "swell" is not a sample of "Love Sex Magic," saying: "It is not a sample." Actually, it's a VST [plug-in] that uses the production program Omnisphere. Because "it just bangs [and] the 808s hit so hard,"


He discussed the source of the sound's inspiration, saying, "I saw Michael Jackson do it...I wanted to do it because of it. Because he was in the studio once discussing a song he had written when he began beatboxing and claimed to have incorporated that into the beat. Numerous internet memes have been influenced by the squeaky sound.


Lyrics of The Box by Roddy Roch


Pullin' out the coupe at the lot, told 'em fuck 12, fuck SWAT


Bustin' all the bells out the box


I just hit a lick with the box, had to put the stick in the 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

Nigga try to get me for my water


I'll lay his ass down, on my son, on 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 probably get a key for the quarter


Shawty barely seen in double C's, I bought 'em


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, forgive me

Pullin' out the coupe at the lot, told 'em fuck 12, fuck SWAT


Bustin' all the bells out the box


I just hit a lick with the box, had to put the stick in the 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, huh

Hahaha, 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 wan' fly again


I'll take my chances in traffic (yeah)


She suckin' on dick, no hands wit' it


I just made the Rollie plain like a landin' 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 picked 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 bells out the box


I just hit a lick with the box, had to put the stick in the 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
