TK Kayembe - Exposed lyrics

[Verse 1] Since '91 I been a menace, for real Born rotten and exposed A rose in a garden full of hoes A flowerbed of souls Where the flower 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 fronting Been confused and obtuse, gotta mean something I don't feel, I don't feel, I mean nothing Mama looking around, what you gotta say You propably never gave a f** 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 home, I don't wanna go home Running from the fire in my brains, 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 sh** a lot, n***a Been alone from the motherf**ing jump, man Every battle, every hurdle, every hump, man b**hes either feel it or they motherf**in dont, man Time to draw the line and do the motherf**in *snort sound*, man Man, listen, I don't talk about myself, n***a, oh no You don't get it, you don't feel it, n***a, oh no Where I'm from is a nightmare not a smoke show n***as never make it there, they never make it, oh no, n***a [Verse 2] I'm from the generation of the 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 f** that I go through in my brain That there's a f**ing beast of the motherf**ing chain That I be having dragons in my heart being slain Til I'm broken and too vulnerable again Love, nobody ever showed me what it was, my n***a, for real I've been beggin' since a younging, since a cub my n***a, for real Saw into your pretty blue soul like the rainbow My third eye saw your devil and your angel We tried to love each other from a different angle Unfortunately we still got strangled I don't even know if imma make it to the next day Every day I wake up and I feel like it's my d**h Day You can see inside me like a motherf**ing X ray Losing to my demons in a motherf**ing chess game It's a hard life, I choose to lead, the memories so lucidly I'm just speaking truthfully, it's hard to breathe, it's hard to breathe, damn
