Gno - Exposed lyrics

[Hook] In the studio with my eyes closed Feeling the beat, but feel exposed Everything i say on this track is real You finally get an insight on how i feel [Verse:1] You spent so long trying to figure me out But you never seen the picture in my doubt Me and you together would of been great Better late than never I finally feel like ive made it When ive got hennessy in my cup And the lights flash when im faded But when you get close up Stare straight into my eyes I never let anything slip So when did i become so wise? So i take another sip Start making love to the night You best start treating her right I can see her looking across the room And my bedsheets still smell of her perfume She said nobody does is better I didn't have to show no affection Or send her a love letter Shes so close to perfection Even though she goes from rapper to rapper But never lets anyone trap her But thats what i admire She got me so inspired So let me take you back To what i desired Initiative is what you lack So you gave me time, to rewind and take control You even asked me how much for my soul Listen to my laughter We are pretty much the same I see what i need, then chase after I thought this was art, but its just a game But its just the start to my pain Thats why im telling you the truth straight up Im zoned out in the booth, so dont wait up Ill always put the music first Even though it should be reversed I guess i need to get my priorities sorted Cause i can't climb if im unsupported Now i feel like im on a life support machine Eyes shut, struggling to take a breath Did it come from the bottle or the green Am i this close to d**h? sh**, i shouldn't really be thinking this at such a young age But for now im [Hook] [Verse:2] Back to where i started Back under the surface Back to being so fainthearted And back to being so nervous Nothing ever works the way it should I would live without plans, if i knew i could If i dont stay prepared, ill never be compared I got karma on my side Sharing all these positive vibes Always fighting against the tide Turning a blind eye to these bribes Youll never get me, where you want me Ill never turn how you want me to be Why do you want me to be like the others? Im trying to set an example to my brothers Not the blood type The type that have been here since day one The type that had faith when i begun Man i got so much respect And im glad i kept my word And never listened to anything i ever heard Im glad i stayed faithful If i didn't, it probably would of been fatal If it wasn't for them, i wouldn't of made this progress I would be stuck in check mate Like i just lost at chess But i guess, its luck, fate and destiny Now i feel complete You found me breathlessly When you told me i just got beat When that day comes Ill hang up my boots And hush my gums There won't be no excuse Im aiming to be a legend Hoping he opens the gates When im on my way to heaven sh**, i shouldn't really be thinking this at such a young age But for now im [Hook] [Verse:3] Let me share my dying thoughts I wish i stayed by your side and fought I shouldn't of let go that easily But youve been creeping on my mind recently Why we trying to hide? Choosing to ignore all the signs Be yourself, wheres your pride? I hate to see you in those struggling times You never ask for any a**istance I admire your consistence But if you carry on, youll end up six foot under Im already there in my mind Searching deep to find whats hiding inside I swear im a different person on the outside Not a single one of you, try getting your sub conscious involved Thats why hip hop will never evolve Thats why, im sitting alone Getting into that zone Where noone else can impose This darkness keeps me enclosed Ive never tried to escape Is that a signal im going insane? Talking to myself in the mirror Trying to make the world a little more clearer My instincts tell me, my times getting nearer Seriously, reality check I could hang you by your f**ing neck Cause ive shown your the ropes Now its downward slopes Not sharing my knowledge anymore Honestly, your nothing anymore So tell your girl to get out of my head f** it, accually i like it when shes f**ing with my head instead I love when shes playing those games Not mentioning names But if you can relate Then you gotta discuss your trust Trust, its not my fault Im just tryin to exalt But now ive done with trying Im done with the lying If you can't be true Then f** off with the rest that came through Then left shortly after, i didn't give them a clue Its my life, you don't need to know what I'm doing All you need to know is I'm forever moving Since those days, I've been forever improving Now I've got those pains in my brain I got that feeling again Ill never lose But whatever path you choose Leads to the same place eventually I wonder what song will be sung at my funeral I wonder who will turn up to my burial sh**, i shouldn't really be thinking this at such a young age But for now im [Hook] [Verse:4] Dont believe everything youve been told Dont believe everything you hear Dont even believe everything i say Cause i stay cold, cause tears, and those games i play Cause thats just how our minds work Even when i cause the pain I start to smirk We all have those days, where we can't control ourselves Everyone has those days, where they feel alone You can use it to your advantage Even when were alone we can manage Express your hurt into an artistic creation Then there won't be no need for any narration Feeling the beat, but feel exposed Feeling the beat, but feel exposed Feeling the beat, but feel exposed
