City's Burning

There's something in the air

There's something in the water

Eyes got a different stare

Different than last I saw you

You know this life ain't fair (This life ain't fair)

Somebody should've told your ass (Somebody should've told your ass)

But you never seem to care about nothing at all

Blame it on your momma, blame it on your daddy too

Yeah, 'cause they didn't make a ruler out of you

And I blame it on your uncles, blame it on your nanny too

They failed to raise a king out of you

I can't believe I made amends

Gave you my all, you gave me less

I was in love or just naive

How come I fall for foolish men?

I made you up for you to be

Something you're not, you'll never be

But not today, kiss you goodnight

I let the bridges burn (I let them burn, burn, burn)

I let the bridges burn (I let them burn, burn, burn)

I let the bridges burn (I let them, let them burn)

I don't think you ever thought I had it in me

To turn my back on you

Planned it all way through

Acquaint you with my vicious

Roses can be cruel, my thorns coming through

You're scared to face the truth as I pull it up on you

You beg me, think it through

Not here to bring good news

As I tell you, tell you, tell you, tell you

You should be here to feel what's causing the fire

And I've been the cigarette you'd toss on the pile

And I've only wanted peace of mind with you

Conceive till now with you

Share your last name with you

I pray that the bridges gon' fall (Yeah)

Yes, I should've left the message, baby

As your world starts burning

Mine's about to start

As your world starts burning, babe

Turning, babe, burning, babe

Turning, babe

I told you not to mess with me
