  • When all your love is lost
    And burning bridges can't be crossed
    Lord, won't you let me know?
    Or give me one more reason to go?

    When all your love is lost (is lost)
    And burning bridges can't be crossed
    Lord, won't you let me know? (Let me know)
    Or give me one more reason to go?

    Yeah, I done took all I could take from you
    Need a little bit more than a break from you
    Matter of fact, fuck you, don't need you in my life (no)
    You done did so much wrong I hope you get right
    But not at my expense, I did all I could do
    You just took me for granted, you thought I was a fool (nah)
    When I did everything in my power to help and please you
    But I don't know you no more fuck, I caught amnesia! (Woo!)
    Too many emotions I try to bury
    But the higher I climb, the less weight I'm tryin' to carry (yeah)
    And niggas holdin' on for dear life, bringin' me drama
    But I'm only responsible for my daughters Cai and Karma
    Nigga you's a grown man, get yourself together
    Forget about the past, now's a better time than never
    Matter of fact, it's time to start makin' better decisions
    So put your fires out and stop burnin' Chris' bridges (woo!)
    Hah, you little bitches

    When all your love is lost (is lost)
    And burning bridges can't be crossed (can't be crossed)
    Lord, won't you let me know? (Let me know)
    Or give me one more reason to go?

    Yeah, this industry's full of bullshitters
    And all this time you thought you had me fooled niggas
    In my Ferrari partner thought he saw a spaceship
    'Cause I move in speed not to get caught up in this fake shit
    Smilin' in my face when I'm around y'all
    But soon as I leave, niggas be prayin' on my downfall (Lord)
    Is it 'cause you'll never sell as many records?
    My bitches always look better? You fail at business endeavours?
    Or that people thought you were clever but now they know you stupid?
    And misery loves company now that you're goin' through it? (Yeah)
    Somebody tell these rappers I worked hard in these Louis
    So get out of here, you don't want no parts in this shit, do we?
    I see them drugs got y'all trippin' too soon
    That's why you find me in the club every once in a blue moon
    So while you contemplate makin' your first million
    I'll be somewhere contemplatin' on makin' my first billion
    Hah, and then trillion

    When all your love is lost (is lost)
    And burning bridges can't be crossed (can't be crossed)
    Lord, won't you let me know? (Let me know)
    Or give me one more reason to go?

    Yeah, the biggest mistake we make as individuals (what's that?)
    Is thinkin' everyone lives by the same principles (okay)
    But when I talk by the same teachers and principals (nope)
    For you to know it's not the money, it's the principle (woo!)
    So I can't expect you to know what I'm talkin' 'bout (nah)
    Our issues are deep within, we can't just talk 'em out
    Niggas is fightin' inside, we can't just walk 'em out (they fightin'!)
    These bridges burnin' so fast, we can't just stomp 'em out
    Ugh, as if you know what I'm talkin' 'bout

    When all your love is lost (is lost)
    And burning bridges can't be crossed (can't be crossed)
    Lord, won't you let me know? (Let me know)
    Or give me one more reason to go? Writer/s: ALEXANDER GRANT, CHRISTOPHER BRIDGES, JAMIE COMMONS
