Exposure

First off don't be talkin' 'bout the culture
Money talks, don't be talkin' 'bout exposure

(You know we about to leave)
(So we leave you with some bars)

Money talks, don't be talkin' 'bout exposure
First off don't be talkin' 'bout the culture
Money talks, don't be talkin' 'bout exposure
Gettin' guap tryin' to keep the motion

Yeah, huh, uh
First off don't be talkin' 'bout the culture
Money talks, don't be talkin' 'bout exposure
Gettin' guap and I'm tryna keep the motion
I ain't showin' up and I ain't showing no emotion

They gon' try to play you like the new kid
They gon' try to play you like
They playing all my new shit
Yeah, I'm too familiar with the game
I been through shit
Dead all bullshit
Now I'm on some new shit

Only hungry niggas gettin' seated at the table
I'll let a hungry nigga take the lead when I say so
But I ain't calmin' down
Unless they put me on the payroll
Tryna takeoff, tryna offset Quavo

It ain't a game for me and my niggas on the rise
When I hit the dial all my niggas down to ride
Runnin' with the squad or you not, pick a side
Runnin' with opps or the gods you decide

I decided I'ma be me, same when you see me
Beard and a beanie, kwani iko nini?
I got a lot of haters amini usiamini
Wafanyaje bila mimi?
Yeah, I know you niggas need me

And if I tell the truth, man, I probably need 'em too
Who gon' eat they own words?
Ain't no one to feed 'em to
They gettin' kinda few, and I'm gettin' kinda furious
They gettin' kinda curious
We gettin' a lotta views

That's enough, switch it up
Kwani iko shida?
Siezi jirudia kwani-kwani Eko Dida?
Nilitoka nyuma najituma ni-consider
Cheki inawauma kuna rumour niko leader
Speed up, mahali nimetoka ni testimony na nusu
Lakini watu hujali tu ajali inawahusu
Ndo maana sina rafiki wengi like I used to
Ntafungua roho siku roho itaniruhusu

Yeah, meantime lemme get the cake
Lemme get the Superloaf
Lemme get the cape
I could put the crown down
Can't nobody take it
They don't beef when they know the stakes

Wait

I was aiming for the stars and I hit moon
I arrived, realized ain't no freaking room
You would think a nigga made it
I mean, I assumed
Even with a hit it's complicated
But you'll get it soon

I'm on some takin' over shit
When I'm in the booth
Got the radio rotation like I'm on a loop
Tell the truth
I be catchin' bodies when I'm makin' moves
Switching up the mood if I don't make it
I'ma make the news

(Switching up the mood, I'ma make the news)
(Switching up the mood, I'ma make the news)

Somebody's pullin' me close to the ground
I ain't panicked, I've been here before
Seems like only yesterday
When I got up on that stage
Infront of that crowd
And showed them who's who
And what was what
Man, look at these suckers
I ain't a rapper, I'm a hustler
Just so happens I know to rap

Okay, I'm reloaded

Nikiroga nakoroga na kimombo
Napika ngoma tamu
Nawachia ka-rapper viombo
Vitabu tumejaza vako za Ngugi wa Thiongo
Najikaza nasambaza hadi bongo

Wacha wapange kwa giza kama adui
Jua ikiwaka watajua hawajui
Si ni wale wabaya yani wale warui
Riding low-key mtaani wanitambui

They doing numbers in the South
Numbers in the West
And it's looking like
Tanzania probably got it next
If my people love they people
We could be the best
I want nothing more, damn sure
Taking nothing less

We got stars in the hood
That you take for granted
We got stars in the hood
We could run the planet
If they ain't bumping KE
Then we can't see 'em
If they ain't bumping KE
Then we can't feed 'em

We got it all for real we got it solved
They don't see my people ball
Got Two Rivers in a mall, ah
In the morning get a call
Khali want me on the track
Kaka want me on the chorus, ah

(Is there gonna be a record with Steph?)
(Of course, most definitely, maze)
(Hiyo ni lazima, yani, maze)

Meet the fans when I'm in the streets
Talking 'bout you ain't new school
You the new elite
Got the heat for the streets
Why you even on your feet?
If it was me
I'd be ridding in some leather seats, sweet

I could use a little patience, room for improvement
Somebody call maintenance
I see a lotta wannabes, acting like the A-list
Only want greatness, I never said it's painless

Cheza na maneno, jukumu la kila rapper
Akileta mchezo, si ngumu kukill a rapper
Mara ngapi rapper anachocha atanichapa
Me I'm from the jungle, but leo niko Java

Temporary at the top
They gon' try top it
Stop it, change topic
You just got a little swag
I been in the cockpit
Fly nigga from the tropics

Yeah
Don't let nobody ever tell you your boy can't rap
We here to kill the game, baby
See y'all next year
