Bridges Burned

Bridges Burned - Soulful Acoustic Trap / Country Rap Look at all the bridges burning down, look at what it made a man. "Bridges Burned" is a somber reflection on the cost of success, blending soulful, conversational country-rap singing with a bouncy, rhythmic street trap flow. Built on raw acoustic guitar strumming, distant piano, and deep subtle 808s at 95 BPM, this track explores the heavy paranoia of reaching the top and realizing you've got war right inside the palm of your hand. It's a gritty, emotional look back at pure intentions and the enemies made along the way. Did the story flip when the paper got involved for you?

Lryics: [Intro] (Bo: Man... it wasn't even supposed to go like this.) (Bo: Just wanted to make a way out.) (Rico: Yeah... changed the whole dynamic.) [Chorus] I swear when I started all of this, I didn't want the money or the cars I was just trying to find a way to heal up all of my internal scars I poured my whole spirit in the dirt, hoping that a flower would emerge Wasn't trying to make no enemies or push nobody to the verge But I guess the story always flips when the paper gets involved Now I'm looking at the damage done and problems ain't resolved I just wanted peace but I got war right inside the palm of my hand Look at all the bridges burning down, look at what it made a man. [Verse 1] Yeah, look at what it made a man, loaded up the Sprinter van We was really in the mud, now I'm dropping hundred grand (Cash) I remember trapping in the cold, sleeping fully clothed Only had a dollar to my name, walking down the road (Yeah) Now it's pure VVS on the neck, blinding up the street I had to hustle through the pain, starving for a week (Facts) They see the commas on the check, plotting on the low I got the fully in the lap everywhere I go (Grrah) I done lost a couple of my dawgs, pouring out the drank I remember scraping up the change, pulling on a blank Now I'm sliding through the city lights, tinted on the ghost I'm the one who did the most, turning haters into ghosts But it's a lonely type of feeling when you sitting at the top Cause everybody want a percent until a body drop. (Hold on) [Chorus] I swear when I started all of this, I didn't want the money or the cars I was just trying to find a way to heal up all of my internal scars I poured my whole spirit in the dirt, hoping that a flower would emerge Wasn't trying to make no enemies or push nobody to the verge But I guess the story always flips when the paper gets involved Now I'm looking at the damage done and problems ain't resolved I just wanted peace but I got war right inside the palm of my hand Look at all the bridges burning down, look at what it made a man. [Verse 2] Yeah, they say it's lonely at the top, I say it's freezing cold I got heavy diamonds on the watch but it's getting old (Ice) Ain't nobody asking how I feel, only what I got I just put a massive iron gate around the whole lot (Locked) I can see the envy in their eyes every time I speak We was supposed to conquer all the goals, hitting every peak But the jealousy a heavy plague, spreading like disease Got me paranoid inside the crib, begging on my knees (Damn) Still I got the hammer in the coat, ready for the strike We ain't never going out sad, playing for the hype (Never) I'm a product of the concrete, survivor of the flame But I really wish that me and you could go back to the same. (Yeah) [Chorus] I swear when I started all of this, I didn't want the money or the cars! (Nah) I was just trying to find a way to heal up all of my internal scars! (Heal 'em up) I poured my whole spirit in the dirt, hoping that a flower would emerge! Wasn't trying to make no enemies or push nobody to the verge! (Never) But I guess the story always flips when the paper gets involved! (Paper) Now I'm looking at the damage done and problems ain't resolved! (Facts) I just wanted peace but I got war right inside the palm of my hand! Look at all the bridges burning down, look at what it made a man. [Outro] (Bo: Yeah... look at what it made a man.) (Rico: Cost too much.) (Bo: In the end.) #AcousticTrap #CountryRap #TheHotboxCollective #StorytellingRap #BridgesBurned
