Misunderstood |
| Baby, you understand me now |
| If sometimes you see that I’m mad |
| No one can always be an angel |
| When everything goes wrong you see some bad |
| Well I’m just a soul whose intentions are good |
| Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood |
| Yeah, uh (Misunderstood) |
| We do this, for the people that walk that path |
| Tryna get to their dream, yeah, uh (oh) |
| He stood on the corner with the rest of them |
| Though he knew that this corner wasn’t the best of him |
| Hard streets and a life that crested him |
| Dirt police domestic beefs that’s festerin |
| He knew the President wadn’t addressin him |
| Though dead presidents was undressin him |
| Two kids from hot sex no protection and |
| People don’t see how AIDS is affectin 'em |
| It get hard to get the get the God question in |
| Can’t find a job so you robbin and hustlin |
| He killed marks and sold dope for cousin 'em |
| Can’t believe they would be the ones bucking him |
| He on the ground he could feel God touching him |
| He heard the sound of his moms sayin trust in him |
| At heaven’s gate, saying Lord please let me in |
| Or send me back to tell my people to be better men |
| Misunderstood |
| Cause we are — Misunderstood |
| Misunderstood, Don’t let me be misunderstood |
| I’m just human, oh |
| Uh, yeah |
| She dancin she dance she dance for them |
| Her body move but her mind was manic’n |
| Thinkin I don’t know where they hands have been |
| Relationships with men have been so damagin |
| She thought back to when she was at Howard and |
| Dreams of doing scenes with Terrence Howard and |
| Broadway plays and dancin with Alv and them |
| The ones that make it always ain’t the talented |
| Some dreams get lost never to be found again |
| At first strippin seemed so empowerin |
| Most every girl wanna do it now and then |
| But bein meat every day is devourin |
| Cats puttin paper where she put powder and |
| Life would break her, now she powderin |
| She was high when she fell down and then |
| Crowd surrounding and, heart was poundin and |
| She fell into a deep sleep the siren sounded and |
| Seen bright lights in the midst of clouds and then |
| Talked to God, feeling like his child again |
| Said Lord let me live so I can make you proud again |
| The life we lead, will always lead us |
| And we pray that he, will never leave us |
| It’s the price we pay, I guess that’s the reason |
| Why my grandma sang, we all need Jesus |
| Misunderstood, don’t let me be, misunderstood |
| Misunderstood, don’t let me be, misunderstood |
| I’m just human |
