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 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 fronting
Been confused and obtuse, gotta mean something
I don't feel, I don't feel, I mean nothing
Mama look around, what you gotta say?
You probably never gave a f*ck 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
Runnin' from the fire in my brains, in my ozone
Runnin' from the pressure 'till I cave in my own home
You don't understand the obsessions that I got
I need love, I don't feel that sh*t a lot, n*gga
Been alone from the motherf*ckin' jump, man
Every battle, every hurdle, every hump, man
b*tches either feel it or they motherf*ckin'
Don't, man
Time to draw the line and do the motherf*ckin'
*Snort*, man
Man, listen, I don't talk about myself, n*gga, oh no
You don't get it, you don't feel it, n*gga, oh no
Where I'm from is a nightmare, not a smoke show
n*ggas never make it there, they never make it, oh no, n*gga
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
I'm from the generation of the scarred and abused
For real, man
You're either dead or you're dyin' or you doomed
And what's worse is nobody's got a clue
Of what the f*ck that I go through in my brain
That there's a f*ckin' beast of the motherf*ckin' chain
That I be having dragons in my heart being slain
'Till I'm broken and too vulnerable again
Love—nobody ever showed me what it was, my n*gga
For real
I've been beggin' since a youngin', since a cub, my n*gga
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 I'm-ma make it to the next day!
Every day, I wake up and I feel like it's my deathday!
You can see inside me like a motherf*ckin' x-ray!
Losin' to my demons in a motherf*ckin' chess game!
It's a hard life I choose to lead
The memories' so lucidly
I'm just speakin' truthfully
It's hard to breathe, it's hard to breathe, damn
