[Verse 1: Toronto female MC, sharp and grinning] Beer league Thursday, eleven-fifteen ice Rink up in Scarborough, cold enough to bite you twice I play defence like the blue line owes me rent Any forward coming through, I send him back to where he went Ref don't even look, he just points at the damn door Two minutes for roughing, yeah, I been here before Sit down in the glass box, been living here a while Guy on the clock goes, you again, with a little smile [Pre-Hook: Toronto female MC] Two minutes, that's all they give But the box is the only place I like to live [Hook: Toronto female MC, loud, banging on the glass] Put me in the box, I run the game from in here Banging on the glass and my whole bench hear it clear You can box me in, box me up, box me out all year Put me in the box, I run the game from in here [Verse 2: Toronto female MC, faster, trash-talking] Twenty-two penalties and we're only on week ten Captain says, relax, girl, I say, relax for who, again? Other team skates wide when they see the number four Cross-check, slash, hook, I don't even hide it anymore Guy on the clock got a thermos and a pen Doing crosswords in the box till I come back again Five letters, trouble, and he's looking at me Writes my name in the little boxes, T-A-S-H-A, see [Hook: Toronto female MC, loud, banging on the glass] Put me in the box, I run the game from in here Banging on the glass and my whole bench hear it clear You can box me in, box me up, box me out all year Put me in the box, I run the game from in here [Bridge: Toronto female MC, penalty countdown, counting the last ten seconds over the drums] Ten, nine, he says, do you ever sit still Eight, seven, I said, only in here, and I will Six, five, door's about to open, say it now Four, three, two, he says, dinner? One. I'm out [Verse 3: Toronto female MC, slower, then grinning hard] Last game of the season, the final, tied at two I take a lazy hook on purpose, coach don't have a clue Team screaming, what you doing, I just tap the glass and wink Got two minutes with a man and a thermos at the rink Girls kill it off without me, then they score on the rush Whole rink going crazy, and the box goes hush He opens up the door, and I don't even get up Two minutes turned to two years, and we share a thermos cup [Hook: Toronto female MC, loud, banging on the glass] Put me in the box, I run the game from in here Banging on the glass and my whole bench hear it clear You can box me in, box me up, box me out all year Put me in the box, I run the game from in here [End]
