Burning Bridges

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Benny Banks] I guess she the poison that I like the most Stubborn bitch treating me like I'm a ghost We so far apart and you still keep me close But what you meant to sell when all your dreams are sold? I don't compromise, I'd rather go for broke Overfill your ego but don't feed your soul Tryna fill a gap and ended in a hole You ain't really free, it's like you're on parole Pussy sweet but you the opposite Proper bitch, alcohol will turn you to a horror flick Your man annoying so you hit me tryna borrow dick Treat my nut like your pride baby, swallow it Used to be a page I thought I'd never turn Now I see you like a lesson I've already learned Working on being better while you're getting worse I'm just looking like you'll never learn I'm still learning how to be a parent Make sure you're present in their life, don't just make an appearance I do what I want, I ain't asking for clearance When I rely on people they keep disappearing Spent my whole life tryna make me some P's Took me thirty years to learn money weren't bringing me peace Stress isn't bringing me sleep That's why I pray to God and don't pray to a priest [Chorus: Violet May] Living free but we don't know freedom Follow you wherever you leave me Love me, at least before you leave me Had to burn these bridges Living free but we don't know freedom Follow you wherever you leave me Love me, at least before you leave me Had to burn these bridges down [Verse 2: Benny Banks] Surrounded by some snakes and vultures I wear a mask to hide my face, not to hide from COVID They're screaming 'All Lives Matter', I guess that makes 'em cultured If our parents didn't drink then they was probably dope heads Weed fiend, I smoked it to the roaches Money motivated, we was taking road trips Taking L's that had me feeling hopeless Tryna open up but couldn't find the words and started choking Rope around my neck, it's got my ego breaking sweat Cause if I fall off of the step, well then I'm dead But I can't take it anymore, can't be patient anymore Sick of waiting by the doors I thought buying keys would open up some more Ain't a drug dealer that raps, I'm a rapper selling drugs "Benny you a backwards little mug", word to my mum Word to my unborn son, I'm exactly what you shouldn't become I mind my business like I'm Kermit How can you deserve it if you never put no work in? I know karma's still lurking, sidetracking from my purpose I walk across the bridge and then I burn it, I'm on fire like a furnace Your favourite wordsmith but still I'm like a book without no words in What's your words worth if they're worthless? Sometimes even peace can be disturbing [Chorus: Violet May] Living free but we don't know freedom Follow you wherever you leave me Love me, at least before you leave me Had to burn these bridges Living free but we don't know freedom Follow you wherever you leave me Love me, at least before you leave me Had to burn these bridges down
