Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Forgive & forget
Remember the pain
The feeling the hurt
The bridges are burning up
The bridges are burning up
Tonight we go turnt it up
Ignite it & weburn it up
Revenge issa must
There's lines you don't cross
Like X we be crossing them
We bill it then pass it on
cll i'm seeing is Red
cll i'm seeing is Red
While i'm puffin the meds
I see them
Then all of a sudden the rage is just hitting my chest
c debt i'm a pay you back
I swore i'm a pay you back
Could pull up and wave the gat
But i'm patently waiting cK
Cause timing is everything
Wanna buss cases
Man can't be on anything
Don't give me your word
Cause that don't mean anything
Is mud in the dirt
Im still in my feelings Im creeping i'm creeping i'm reding his shirt
I'm giving em plomo not platter
Just plomo that's one in the head
Together we rise but when i take L'z i'm just all on my own
c heart of Gold (pure Gold)
They already know
If life is a race then i stay in my lane and watching my pace
I see them go up then i see them come down moving forward with Pace
cmazing is Grace
I pray every day
I'm never alone
Even when i'm alone
The story gets told
By those that don't know
They laugh at my lows
Like they ain't never been lows
It's always the niggaz that use to be niggaz that's going to war
The mandem ain't killers we just some real niggaz ain't willing to starve
cnd man always finish what ever they start
I rather them than i die
My daughter need me alive
If life is a race then i stay in my lane and watching my pace
I see them go up then i see them come down moving forward with Pace
cmazing is Grace
I pray every day
I'm never alone
Even when i'm alone
The story gets told
By those that don't know
They laugh at my lows
Like they ain't never been lows
