[Intro]

Yeah, yeah

I got these ideas, I got a lot on my mind

And it's so hard to put 'em in a lot of songs

I try to put 'em all in one, you know

Just what I'm feelin', what I'm goin' through

I've been drinkin', so please bear with me

[Verse]

Eyes wide shut, barely eatin', tryna get my game on

Played it too cool, almost like I'm froze, had to turn my flame on

All the while, watch 'em X me out

Magazine cover, mothafucka, I ain't tripping

My flow, senior citizen shit

And maybe they'll listen to me when they sixty

Breakin' some bread down, treat it like the Last Supper

Toast to all the time we were po', but still we had one another

Hoppin' in, out of shuttles, I'ma be big, momma, I'ma get rich, momma

I'm sorry, I ain't got a wife or kids momma, but look what I did momma

Got a house that I barely can stay in, a car I barely can drive

I'd be a liar if I said gettin' money didn't make me feel alive

Hustlin', arguin' about who’s better than I in tweets

But what does it matter when a new artist come out like every week?

And the label all on they nutsack, good for them, keep suckin'

Most rappers'll bend over for you, but me? Bitch, I'm not for fuckin', over

I'd be the biggest star, they told me

Signed my name on that line and when I die, that's when it's over

Movin' on to the set, I was just a talented black kid

But to them, I looked like a check

Another five years of slavin' and then it's on to the next

I was tryna be what I envisioned as a child

A king ain't a man of God when ain't no church in the wild

Shit been fucked up 'cause they don't talk about Christ

Everybody trying to die young but who gon' talk about life?

I pull that card, good Lord, Confederate flag, shit so flawed

They used to fly it like pilots and burn crosses in our yards

I can't get with ya if you with that whistlin' Dixie they want that old time back

But niggas got a hundred rounds and automatics so we ain't having that

I ain't promotin' no violence, it's people out here been wildin'

So much that you can get gunned down just for being happy and smilin'

Ain't no hotline worth dialin' to say the world needs help

We too busy fillin' our needs that we might kill us ourselves

I got my gumption from my granny, had a dream about her like last night

She held me tight and told me, "Little one, everything gon' be alright"

My mind playin' tricks on me, but I needed that there

In a world where I feel all alone sometimes I'm needin' her care

It's hard to share my insecurities so I medicate, I mean meditate

And pray to God for a second chance, for Heaven's sake

I'm just waitin' on a sign or two, like what I'ma do

When my heart get rusty and tired and it ain't shinin' through?

And I think about death a lot, my father scared of dyin'

I can relate, I call him before every flight, in case I ain't meant for flying

I can't hold it back, can't control these tears, I mean after all these years

I'm still the kid writin' poems, too shy to eat in the cafeteria

I'm two cups in and three shots away

From givin’ a fuck about any of the shit that I done had to say

Lord knows, it's hard to see the truth with your eyes closed

It's hard to protect your feelin's when you so exposed

Yeah, I'm so exposed

I'm so exposed

[Outro]

I let it all slip away

And now all I can say

Is here's a toast to a better day

And the love that will come and stay

Oh God, oh God, oh God, wherever You are, yeah

I call Your name near and far

Oh God, oh God, oh God, wherever You are, yeah

I call Your name near and far

I'm so exposed

I'm so exposed

I'm so exposed

I'm so exposed

Oh God, oh God

Oh God, oh God

Oh yeah, uh
