Bridge Is Burning

(Pantha)

Not one penny short of earnings, yeah

Not two smart fi learning, yeah

Not free till we earn it, yeah

Hold on, the bridge is burning, yeah

Confusion only starts when we're looking at who we are

Standing in a crowd of people and walking a lonely path

Confusion only lasts when we're bickering with each other

Am I my brother's keeper or keeping my brother stuck?

'Cause I'm shutting my mother up and selling my brother grub

If I had a part to play, it was only a part for us

The rent was never paid, I told you, "In God we trust"

That's why we've got a prayer for everything in the slums

Every nibble or crumbs, heavy pick up a—

My bredrin shot his shot, now he's fretting to see the judge

And if the lion is the king then you better Simba your cubs

And use every ounce of pride when holding Simba above

The grass is never greener, they told us we're in the mud

But every time they plant a seed, we turn the flower to bud

I help you just fi get on

And then you get on and then forget about us

You left me in the barrel, it doesn't matter

Mussy too heavy for ya

Mussy too heavy for ya

Not one penny short of earnings, yeah

Not two smart fi learning, yeah

Not free till we earn it, yeah

Hold on, the bridge is burning, yeah

Bridges burn, lesson learn, you see me hurt

Friends lurk behind curtains, wishing worst

Favours don't get returned in this universe

Gratitude is a burden what you disperse

Quick and fast, you forget the past

It was good yesterday, yesterday never last

Here comes tomorrow, bring you likkle joy

Coulda bring you likkle sorrow, which mindset you ah follow, huh?

I help you just fi get on

And then you get on and then forget about us (Forget)

You left me in the barrel, it doesn't matter

Mussy too heavy for ya

Mussy too heavy for ya

Not one penny short of earnings, yeah

Not two smart fi learning, yeah

Not free till we earn it, yeah

Hold on, the bridge is burning, yeah

I help you just fi get on

And then you get on and then forget about us
