Exposure Lyrics

Exposure - Steph Kapela

...

First off don't be talkin' 'bout the culture

Money talks, don't be talkin' 'bout exposure

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

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

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
