Aside from recording, Usher has ventured into business. He has established his own record label, US Records, and is a part owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers franchise.

Girl, understand why
See it's burning me to hold onto this
I know this is something I gotta do
But that don't mean I want to
What I'm trying to say is that I-love-you I just
I feel like this is coming to an end
And its better for me to let it go now than hold on and hurt you
[Verse 1]
It's gonna burn for me to say this
But it's coming from my heart
It's been a long time coming
But we done been fell apart
Really wanna work this out
But I don't think ya gonna change ya
I do but you don't
Think it's best we go our separate ways
Tell me why I should stay in this relationship
When I'm hurting baby, I ain't happy baby
Plus there's so many other things I gotta deal with
I think that you should let it burn
[Chorus]
When your feeling ain't the same and your body don't want to
But you know gotta let it go cause the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Even though this might bruise you
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
Deep down you know it's best for yourself but you
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
But you know that it's over
You know that it was through
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
[Verse 2]
Sendin' pages I ain't supposed to
Got somebody here but I want you
Cause the feeling ain't the same find myself
Callin' her your name
Ladies tell me do you understand?
Now all my fellas do you feel my pain?
It's the way I feel
I know I made a mistake
Now it's too late
I know she ain't coming back
What I gotta do now
To get my shorty back
Oh oh oh oh
Man I don't know what I'm gonna do
Without my boo
You've been gone for too long
It's been fifty-eleven days, um-teen hours
I'mma be burnin' till you return (let it burn)
[Chorus]
When your feeling ain't the same and your body don't want to
But you know gotta let it go cause the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Even though this might bruise you
Let it burn (let it burn, let it burn, you gonna learn)
Let it burn (gotta let it burn)
Gotta let it burn
Deep down you know it's best for yourself but you
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
But you know that it's over
You know that it was through
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
[Bridge]
I'm twisted cause one side of me is tellin' me that I need to move on
On the other side I wanna break down and cry (oh)
I'm twisted cause one side of me is tellin' me that I need to move on
On the other side I wanna break down and cry (yeah)
[Breakdown]
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh oh
Ooh ooh oh (can ya feel me burnin'?)
Ooh ooh ooh oh ooh oh
So many days, so many hours
I'm still burnin' till you return
[Chorus]
When your feeling ain't the same and your body don't want to
But you know gotta let it go cause the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Even though this might bruise you
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
Deep down you know it's best for yourself but you
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
But you know that it's over
You know that it was through
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
In "Let it Burn" by Usher, he sings about the end of a relationship that has been falling apart for some time. The song's lyrics show Usher struggling with the decision to end the relationship, even though he still loves his partner, and coming to terms with the fact that it is better for both of them to move on. He goes back and forth, acknowledging that part of him wants to stay in the relationship, but ultimately decides that it's time to let it go and deal with his pain. The song captures the pain and complexity of ending a long-term relationship, and the message is ultimately one of moving forward, even if it's difficult.
The lyrics of "Let it Burn" were written by Usher, Jermaine Dupri, and Bryan-Michael Cox, who also produced the song. It was released in 2004 as the second single from Usher's album "Confessions" and quickly became one of his biggest hits, winning him a Grammy award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance in 2005.

@@blacklightfamilycircle4425 These souls, who are the most deeply in the lies, shall have the most powerful testimony's if they come to REPENTANCE.
Every one, EVERY ONE is called to repentance, to born again, to count the cost of becoming CHRISTIAN.
For we all are HUMAN BEINGS and sinned and fallen short in the glory of GOD, therefore to us all a way to SALVATION is given, THROUGH CHRIST goes the only way, WHICH IS NARROW not wide.
"people are uncomfortable speaking about this" - that`s because they SIN that bad.
And if truth hurts us that bad, we then better pray, that we never gonna know nor understand how badly sick and evil we have become all these 3 times:
- before the flood,
- before the burn up city,
- now, before the fire.
3 blown up chances. Why are we worry about climate changes? No climate change. All we do witness is THE (RIGHTEOUS) WRATH OF GOD. Why? - cause we`re SICK AND EVIL. Were WICKED.
Souls, time to stop using all these emojis and hand signs, for all these origin from masonry and do so in both places: online and offline.
Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Luke 5:32
I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
All the famous and rich names give up being a CHRISTIAN (if they, a FTMs and MTFs even were ) on that very moment they signed the contract or as they also admit, that they did made the deal with the devil.
