Mills was born and raised in Harlem, New York to his father, a therapist, and his mother, who operated two daycare centers in Manhattan. He attended an all-boys school St. Bernard's School during his elementary years and later graduated from the Browning School. Mills attended Union College to originally pursue a sports journalism major, but he dropped out ten weeks after starting classes to begin his rapping career.
Throughout high school, Skiz made a few raps here and there, although he never thought they would take him anywhere.
However, as a high school senior, he realized that rap was what he wanted to pursue. He threw away his dreams of becoming a sports analyst and even his college diploma to write songs. With heavily supportive parents, Skizzy was able to hone his skills without giving up on his dreams.
After releasing a few projects, including American Psycho EP, Phases, and Pace, he debuted his first major EP. The Red Balloon Project was dropped in 2015, and it received a fair amount of buzz on the internet, even hitting #35 on the Billboard 200. It gave him a few minor hits such as “Be Lazy,” and “Do You There.”
In 2016, Skizzy delivered his debut studio album, Alone Together, with appearances from Jojo, Olivver The Kid, and more. This album gave off a more emotional feel, with tracks like “Girl On A Train” and “Comb.”
Recently, Mars announced his next album, are you OK, which was released in 2018, using a mini-documentary. He explained this album as “a more honest and raw description of my life.”

Burn Bridges
Skizzy Mars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Welcome to the life of a rich and famous kid
Thought I had feelings, she was incorrect
I paid my dues and I earned respect
Fuck your arenas
Ferragamos from Bergdorf
We coming in first not second, third form
My heart's unbreakable, mind unshakable
Uptown kid with the view from the penthouse
Can't smoke then we dip out, clean when we step out
All black with a tan, she don't speak much
Valley girl from the hills, she dont eat much
Big Pimpin' my theme song
It's right even though it may seem wrong
My mama told me you a king son
So I'm just gon' be one
Homie
I told you I'm too pimpin'
You tried to get me I was too vicious
You can't treat me like the other niggas
'Cause
I fuck bitches and burn bridges
I fuck bitches and burn bridges
I fuck bitches and burn bridges
Kids talk a lot of shit but they rarely back it up
Come through happy but she leave, mad as fuck
Phone blowing up vibratin' on the bed
I don't want an argument I really want some head
Shit will go down if I don't get my money fast enough
Feelin' on her ass enough
She say I'm too crass and rough
And I just keep my speakers knocking
Too faded to dap you up
Three girls at the same club, can I pull it off
In a bra now, can you pull it off
Grew up on a rock get stoned cold
I keep it stone cold, I don't love no hoes, problem solved
Ever wonder why I only call you passed 2 in the morning
'Cause I know you'll always come through when I want it
I told you I'm too pimpin'
You tried to get me I was too vicious
You can't treat me like the other niggas
'Cause
I fuck bitches and burn bridges
I fuck bitches and burn bridges
I fuck bitches and burn bridges
Yeah, I'm not these dudes that you see
That be unwilling to leave
I got some options a couple of opportunities
I be willing to see, multiple women are coming at me
At a vociferous speed
Maybe too fast I don't know
Never knew how to go slow
Never knew how to just be alone
Maybe I need some time just move along
Maybe this drink is too strong
Maybe you'll never move on
I told you I'm too pimpin'
You tried to get me I was too vicious
You can't treat me like the other niggas
'Cause
I fuck bitches and burn bridges
I fuck bitches and burn bridges
I fuck bitches and burn bridges
The song "Burn Bridges" by Skizzy Mars is about the experiences of a young, rich, and famous kid who has seen it all. In the first verse, Skizzy talks about having two "bad tings" (girls) simultaneously, implying that he is juggling multiple relationships. He talks about his lavish lifestyle, expensive fashion, and the fact that he earns respect through hard work. He also asserts his independence by saying he doesn't need the validation of arenas and prefers to live life on his terms.
In the chorus, Skizzy repeats the line "I fuck bitches and burn bridges," suggesting that he doesn't maintain lasting relationships with the people he encounters. He talks about the transient nature of his relationships with girls and how he doesn't want to be treated like other guys. In the second verse, Skizzy talks about the challenges of keeping up with the fast-paced lifestyle and balancing multiple women.
Overall, Skizzy Mars is trying to showcase his confidence, independence, and self-sufficiency through the song. He is unbothered by the frequent coming-and-going of girls in his life and is focused on enjoying the present.

I told you I'm too little
Tried to give you them tulips
You can't trick me like the other did
Cause
