Burning It Down
by Emily Brimlow

Album: Burning It Down - Single

Verse 1
I was looking for a purpose
Found out money, fortune, fame
It just ain't worth it
It's worthless
I took the cash, then burned it
Didn't want a reputation to change what's on the surface-line
The things that I find will never satisfy me in the long time
And all the dreams I dreamt, they will never come alive

Chorus
I am burning it down
I am burning it down
I am burning it down
Oh, I am, I am

Verse 2
The wealth that I need comes from within me
If I look a little closer then I see it in me
Shining brightly
These gifts are igniting
Given to me probably from Almighty God
Thank You for Your mercy
Oh, You give it to me freely
Oh and even though I don't deserve You
You choose to pursue me
Hey, I said thank You for Your mercy
Oh, You give it to me freely
And even though I don't deserve You, whoa

Chorus
I am burning it down
I am burning it down
I am burning it down
Oh, I am, I am

Bridge
Break these walls down, I don't need them
Call the police, I'm a free man
I don't care what they will say 'cause
I am free from these prison gates, I said
Break these walls down, I don't need them
Call the police, I'm a free man
I don't care what they will say 'cause
I am free from these prison gates, I said
Break these walls down, I don't need them
Call the police, I'm a free man
I don't care what they will say 'cause
I am free from these prison gates, I said

Vocalizing
Gates, whoa-oa-oa
Whoa-oa-oa-oa
Whoa-oa-oa
Ooh, ooh

Chorus
I am burning it down
I am burning it down
I am burning it down
Oh, I am, I am

Outro
Mmm, I am burning it down (I-I)
I am burning it down (Whoa-oa)
I am burning it down (I am burning, burning it down)
I am burning it down (I am)
I am burning it down (What they tell me to be)
I am burning it down (Oh, the molds that the put me in, I'm burning it down)
I am burning it down
I am burning it down (Oh, all of it; imma burn it down)
I am burning it down (Burn it all down)
I am burning it down (All of it, all of it)
I am burning it down (Ohhh)
