Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You live & you learn

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
