Ryan Oakes – Bridges lyrics

[Intro]

They beat me down, into the ground
I got back up, they’d try to drown
I’d catch my breathe, then they’d throw their shade
They’d all try to set, everything up in flames

[Hook]

I hope you know, all our bridges burned
They went up in smoke, when all those tables turned
I wanna hear you choke, upon those famous words
And try to tell me how much seeing all this hurts

[Verse 1]

From that basement to that nation
We boutta take it all continental
Got statements of my payments
But you know I’m keeping those confidential
Got famous it ain’t paying
Till they label me the most influential
I’m smashing into that pavement
When I’m on a beat man I’m going mental
Those fundamentals they back
All those unconventional tracks
That ya’ll put inside that graveyard
I’m bringing all that shit back
All these shitty rappers who claim bars
They know to take a step back
I was flying under that radar
I'm switching my tracks with traction under my feet
I ain’t ever losing my grip
I just took action with my team
Was sick of taking all of ya'll shit
Cut the distractions and it seems that I’m making all these hits
I’m steady mapping out all my dreams
While you just backing out and you quit
I learned to cut the shit
And have some confidence stop being nervous
I learned to cut the people off who acting like some serpents
That's a shoutout to my high school I know you lurking
I hope you mother fuckers know that I been doing perfect
Was feeling worthless
And the only thing they gave was pain
Stuck inside the dark instead of bringing light they brought the rain
In desperate need of energy
And all they did was drain me
I was desperate for some love but everybody chose to hate me so


[Hook]

I hope you know, all our bridges burned
They went up in smoke, when all those tables turned
I wanna hear you choke, upon those famous words
And try to tell me how much seeing all this hurts

[Verse 2]

I just kept my head on my targets
Ya’ll invested time to be heartless
I invested everything in me when no one believed and that shits the hardest
I'm fucking starving
I just came to feast while ya’ll still fucking barking
I got a couple million down
Now and I’m only getting started
I’m never going down, all I know is win and victory
I’m never going down, unless I go down in history
And if you talking shit I’m here to put you out your misery
I’ll turn your pointless story to a mother fucking mystery
Started these epiphanies
I learned to read the signs
All the universal architecture built by the divine
Every cell that's in my body, everything in my design
Is telling me I’m not a copy, what I got is only mine
I ain't really that religious, but I feel a bit suspicious
All these powers and these energies are speaking imma listen
Usually I keep my distance, but they keep dropping limits
And they pushing me to do this till it’s finish so I’ll finish yeah


[Hook]

I hope you know, all our bridges burned
They went up in smoke, when all those tables turned
I wanna hear you choke, upon those famous words
And try to tell me how much seeing all this hurts
