Exposed

Since ‘91 I been a menace, for real

Born rotten and exposed

The rose in a garden full of hoes

A flowerbed of souls

Where the flowers never learn

They can go, they can grow, they can

They can be something

I’m a bird, I’m a bird, look at me frontin’

Be confused and obtused, gotta mean some

I don’t feel, I don’t feel, I don’t mean nothing

Mama looking around, what you gotta say

You probably never gave a fuck about me anyway

I know I’m foolish cause I love you with my whole soul

But I keep running so I ain’t gotta to go home, I don’t wanna go home

Running from the fire and my brain’s in my ozone

Running from the pressure ‘til I cave in my own home

You don’t understand the obsessions that I got

I need love, I don’t feel that shit a lot, nigga

Been alone from the motherfucking jump, man

Every battle, every hurdle, every hump, man

Bitches like to feel it or they motherfucking don’t, man

Tell em draw a line and do the motherfucking shhh

Man, listen, I don’t talk about myself, oh no

You don’t get it, you don’t feel it, nigga, oh no

Where I’m from is a nightmare not a smoke show

Niggas never make it there, they never make it, oh no, nigga it’s up

I’m from the generation that is scarred and abused

For real, man

You’re either dead or you’re dying or you doomed

And what’s worse is nobody’s got a clue

Of what the fuck that I go through in my brain

That there’s a fucking beast off the motherfucking chain

That I’ve been having dragons and my heart be in flames

Til I’m broken and too vulnerable again

Love, nobody ever showed me what it was, my nigga, for real

I’ve been beggin' since a youngin', since a cub, my nigga, for real

Saw into your pretty blue soul like the rainbow

A third eye, saw your devil in your angel

We tried to love each other from a different angle

Unfortunately, we still got strangled

I don’t even know if "I'ma make it to the next day"

Every day I wake up and it feels like it’s my death day

You can see inside me like a motherfucking x-ray

Losing to my demons in a motherfucking chest game

It’s a hard life, I choose to lead the memories so lucidly and

I’m just speaking truthfully, it’s hard to breathe, it’s hard to breathe

Damn
