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 sh** back All these sh**ty 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 sh** 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 sh** 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 f**ers 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 sh**s the hardest I'm f**ing starving I just came to feast while ya'll still f**ing 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 sh** I'm here to put you out your misery I'll turn your pointless story to a mother f**ing 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
