Exposure
Dano Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's my philosophy, so fuck hypocrisy
Though shadows
Follow me, you know it's hollow G
Life has no policy my life with honesty
I'm fighting through this odyssey
It's hard to see somebody
Honestly acting with modesty
My life's my art
The words I speak are my utensil
From your ear back to the record
From the mic back to the pencil
I travel mentally through years
Decades and centuries
To learn the elementaries
My life on documentary
Exposing my art, as close as my heart
A rose in the dark
So fuck the hoes who pose in the park
To close to the start of my ending
I hope I reach ya
My teacher was the streets n'
This rap music my preacher
No region remains unseen when
My spirit travels
I'm a rebel soldier here to win
The war so fuck the battle!
Dismantle every plan and scam hatred grows in
Now time is frozen
This is my thoughts that I'm exposing

Now time is frozen
This is my thoughts that I'm exposing
Now time is frozen
This is my thoughts that I'm exposing
Now time is frozen
This is my thoughts that I'm exposing
Now time is frozen
This is my thoughts that I'm exposing

The ink of my pen is my blood, now you laugh
Every word is a weapon so feel
The wrath of my paragraph!
A mental bond beyond when de song finishes
The essence of dj’s and
B-boys on graffiti images
I'm just a poet of the illest streets
Fighting for my little piece
Like the middle east 'gainst them evil beasts
Over a record while the needle speaks
My mind in the riddle seeks
Answer to the question "When
This shit’ll cease?" and that day
I'll still be reppin' to the fullest
My life depends on music
Not how fast I dodge some bullets
You clueless niggas just getting
Blinded by the spotlight
Learn how to use your cock right
That shit you do is not hype
So while you getting blinded by
Materialism I'm not dissin'
I spit this shit just wishin’
That your ear’d listened
So I can change the way
You look at your emotions
Now time is frozen
This is my thoughts that I'm exposing

Now time is frozen
This is my thoughts that I'm exposing
Now time is frozen
This is my thoughts that I'm exposing
Now time is frozen
This is my thoughts that I'm exposing
Now time is frozen
This is my thoughts that I'm exposing

This ain't a speech, it's a message
You ain't hear this clear?
I ain't here to preach, I'm here to reach
That's my purpose here
Only thing that's capable to stop me
Since my birth is fear
But my momma taught me as
A shorty how to persevere
N' even though the worst is near
I gotta keep strong
After the light has disappeared and
After the heat's gone
When I'm only left with beats to
Put me n' my peeps on
This is my life, my story, my ghetto
My street song!
He's wrong whoever doubts my capabilities
Abilities only excel on tales
As real as these
It's my confession room, my church
My purgatory you heard the story
The game ain't just the fame and glory
There's a lotta struggle
A lotta sweat a lotta tears
Cuz it's not as clear
Impossible for lotta peers
You gotta have the notion
A man who puts a plan in motion
Now time is frozen
This is my thoughts that I'm exposing

Now time is frozen
This is my thoughts that I'm exposing
Now time is frozen
This is my thoughts that I'm exposing
Now time is frozen
This is my thoughts that I'm exposing




Now time is frozen
This is my thoughts that I'm exposing

Those who question me are mistaken


Abilities only excel on tales As real as these
My skills shine on authentic stories


It's my confession room, my church My purgatory you heard the story
This is my place of confession, reflection, and struggle


The game ain't just the fame and glory
Success is not only about recognition


There's a lotta struggle A lotta sweat a lotta tears
