Jace in a Box

Intro

Ayy, ayy, ayo

Turn the lights up, turn the lights up (ha)

Skrrt, skrrt, yeah (yuh)

Verse

Box named Jace, tell me how the label fit? (label fit)

Cardboard crown, taped-up dreams, man you lookin' split

Swingin' in the box, but you can’t hit the pitch (nope)

Pop fly to the parking lot, ball stuck in the ditch (ouch)

I seen better plays from kids with mitts made of cloth

You call that fielding? Bro, that was a soft cough

Talkin' loud, but your stats whisper 'meh' (meh)

You press the button, you play yourself again (again)

Ugly like a canvas nobody bought to hang (hang)

Weird like the chorus of a broken boombox clang (ayy)

Walkin' like you lost a step to yesterday (yesterday)

Mismatched socks, mismatched moves, you sway (you sway)

They call you Jace, but you act like empty space (box)

Name stamped on cardboard, but you misplaced grace (ha)

Your confidence inflated by a busted tape (pop)

Tryna flex in cleats but you trippin' on the plate (trip)

Pitcher throws soft meat, you swing like it’s a ghost

Struck out lookin', crowd whisperin' 'who's that most?'

You backstage, makin' faces at the mirror (mirror)

But the mirror blushes and then turns the other way, dear (ooh)

Pre-chorus

You weird, you awkward, you stuck in a label (stuck)

Ugly like mistakes on a cheap crib cable (cheap)

Mid at baseball, mid in the mirror, mid in the game

Jace, Jace, Jace, man, what's left of your name? (what's left)

Chorus

Jace in a box, (Jace in a box) Jace in a box

Jace in a box, (Jace in a box) Jace in a box

Mid at baseball, swing and miss, that's a loss (that's a loss)

Ugly on the roster, weird at the toss (weird)

Jace in a box, (Jace in a box) Jace in a box

Jace in a box, (Jace in a box) Jace in a box

You play like you paused—stuck on the startin' screen (stuck)

We laughin' while you livin' in a busted scene (ha)

Verse

Ayy, second inning, same story, different shade (same)

You benchwarmin' dreams while the coach throwin' shade (coach)

I got receipts stacked like bases you never touched (never)

You holdin' onto ego that don’t mean nothin' much (uh-huh)

Ugly laugh, ugly clap, ugly handshake too

Weird jokes, weird walks, weird lookin' tattoo (what?)

Your highlight reel's just a looping fail gif (gif)

Fans press skip, even the DJ change his shift (skrrt)

Name on the jersey but the letters peel off (peel)

You got the vibe of a low-budget show, sellin' cough (cough)

Tryna be fire but you smell like old smoke (old smoke)

Tryna be prime but you stuck on broke folk jokes (ha)

Box named Jace, but the lid's stuck tight

No air, no light, now you losin' sight (losin' sight)

Weird flex, weird grin, weird way you wink (wink)

Ugly truth, ugly proof, ugly in the blink (blink)

You stumble through beats, miss the rhythm, miss the rhyme

I lace the lines, drop the mic and clock the time (clock)

Your game needs a patch, your face needs a map

To find any charm you claim
