J Cole - Burn Bridges Lyrics

[Intro: REASON]
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah
If God is good all the time then why do I not have money all the time?
Why am I not here with a beautiful Nubian queen all the time?
Why am I not in motherfuckin' designer Gucci, Louis, Prada, all the motherfuckin' time?

[Verse 1: Lute]
Been in a panic since I lost my daddy, searchin' for some understandin'
Life is what you make it, shit I take for granted
Harvestin' all these blessings from all these seeds I planted
I'm just livin' life, takin' time
Hit the back roads, doin' thirty-five
Told hеr that I never felt so alivе
Feel like a OG, but I'm in my prime, woah
Show me my opponent, ain't no pressure, woah
Tell me who the fuck is on my level, woah
Took some time to realize what was special, woah
Show you how to do it with no effort, woah

[Chorus: Arin Ray]
I burn bridges, I confess, gotta get it off my chest
Hard liquor for the stress, still fuckin' with my head
I-I should probably say less, think that'll be best
I burn bridges, I confess, gotta get it off my chest
Hard liquor for the stress, still fuckin' with my head
I-I should probably say less, think that'll be best, think that'll be best
[Verse 2: Cozz]
Uh, yeah, stuck in between crazy and genius
In between lazy and bein' amazed that I'm breathin'
'Cause the years either overly worked or he overly thinkin'
Before I knew how to swim, I was thrown in the deep end
So it's no surprise that I can just look in your eyes and tell I'm not one that you can compete with
Boy, I'm cut from a cloth that's thicker than carpet
Could probably find your type of cloth in anyone's closet
I can use this butter knife to slice your garments
Shit, at least it's clean 'cause mine got stains from that
Chip on my shoulder, you can be humble and still believe that you chosen
That's why when shawty left, I couldn't believe it was over
Can't believe she ain't believe the deceits that I sold her
Fuck it though, I gotta swallow the pain and starve my ego 'cause that's minuscule
Overall, my fam' is blessed, dawg, we livin' cool

[Chorus: Arin Ray & REASON]
I burn bridges, I confess, gotta get it off my chest
Hard liquor for the stress, still fuckin' with my head
I-I should probably say less, think that'll be best
I burn bridges, I confess, gotta get it off my chest
Hard liquor for the stress, still fuckin' with my head
I-I should probably say less, think that'll be best, think that'll be best (So, look)

[Verse 3: REASON]
Like since a juvenile delinquent we was taught to pump wildin'
Fuck bitches, love commas, headin' to the Trump Towers
Lil' Chris, he was a tucker, wouldn't dare to rush hours
Money gettin' rid of pain like Shaquille Sunflower
All lips, slick talker, spit hawkin', crip walkin', blood bangin'
I was prideful, I was lyin', I was anxious
Twist fingers, that's what niggas do to fit in
At Cool Club, you need recommendation to get in
Auction for your life, how much you give to put your bid in?
All my ghetto traits gone, I mostly get that from my father
Look, I get my stubborn from my mother, she be doin' the most
But I ain't sweatin' either side, 'cause it's beauty in both
You see the ghetto in me taught me how to hustle
Play the scenic streets smart, slick talkin', little hood and comedic
Everything I say I mean, that's my mama's stubbornness
That's the reason I keep dreamin', keep dreamin', keep dreamin', ayy
So I can spark a blunt if I want to (Alright)
And I pour up a cup if I want to (Alright)
It's her body, she can pull up if she want to (Alright)
And I get in them guts like I want to (Alright)
The hood, I'm only stuck if I want to (Alright)
So I can change my luck if I want to (If I want to)
You special, you can do anything you want to (You want)
We too special, we can do anything we want to
[Chorus: Arin Ray]
I burn bridges, I confess, gotta get it off my chest
Hard liquor for the stress, still fuckin' with my head
I-I should probably say less, think that'll be best
I burn bridges, I confess, gotta get it off my chest
Hard liquor for the stress, still fuckin' with my head
I-I should probably say less, think that'll be best, think that'll be best
