Lyrics Maxi Priest – Bridge You Burn
Text:
Check it!
Don’t wreck it!
Set it!
I’m honorable
Fi try dem case
Deh pon a level
Seh nuh come to me wid foolishness
Because me nuh hav no time fi waste
Cah man a rebel
Ever stand up for mi people dem
Because it is my rightful place
Live by these guidelines
Throughout my lifetime
And no matter where the wind blows
We all should live by the code
Now when you’re on top
Reaping from that crop
Thinking you’re untouchable
But when it all stops,
Who gon’ be your rock,
When everything’s dysfunctional?
Because we never see it coming
Whenever things are good and running
That’s how it goes
Careful of the bridge you burn
See man ah rebel
You should a know I’m ’bout the truth
And certain things I say you might not like
Cah some a devil
And they know that they just ain’t right
Ah just the blessin’
Strictly love ina mi heart
Nuh bother think that you can block my light
Live by these guidelines
Throughout my lifetime
And no matter where the wind blows
We all should live by the code
Now when you’re on top
Reaping from that crop
Thinking you’re untouchable
But when it all stops,
Who gon’ be your rock,
When everything’s dysfunctional?
Because we never see it coming
Whenever things are good and running
That’s how it goes
Careful of the bridge you burn
That’s how it goes
Careful of the bridge you burn
You don’t see them coming, yeah
Watch the tables turn, y’all
And you’ll be running, yeah
Just watch it burn
Now when you’re on top
Reaping from that crop
Thinking you’re untouchable
But when it all stops,
Who gon’ be your rock,
When everything’s dysfunctional?
Because we never see it coming
Whenever things are good and running
That’s how it goes
Careful of the bridge you burn
(I said)
That’s how it goes
Careful of the bridge you burn
(Yeah)
That’s how it goes
Careful of the bridge you burn
